The Britax Marathon 70 Convertible Car Ceat is designed for children rear facing from 5 to 40 pounds and forward facing from 1 year and 20 lbs up to 70 pounds. The Britax Marathon 70 achieves revolutionary head safety through the use of Britax SafeCell Technology, Integrated Steel Bars, and Versa-Tether that work together to minimize head excursion and reduce the risk of head injury during a frontal impact.
The Britax Marathon 70 also incorporates Britax Side Impact Protection, offers a no-rethread and quick-adjust, five-point harness, multiple buckle and recline adjustments, and an easy access cover and access to belt paths from the front of the seat. A head and body pillow is provided for comfort. For Children: 5 to 70 lbs.
360 Degree Protection Features:
• SafeCell Technology features SafeCells designed to compress in a crash, significantly lowering the center of gravity and counteracting the forward rotation of the child seat which normally propels the child toward the front seat
• Integrated Steel Bars strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce forward flexing of the child seat during a crash
• Patented, Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether features a staged-release tether webbing to slow the forward movement, reducing the crash forces reaching the child, and a two-point attachment to minimize forward rotation while anchoring the top of the child seat
• Side Impact Protection comprised of deep side walls lined with energy-absorbing EPP foam distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, and contains the head, neck and body
• Tangle-Free, Five-Point Harness distributes crash forces across the strongest parts of the body and provides a secure fit
• Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGS) provides resistance to forward movement in the event of a crash
Superior Fit and Comfort Features:
• 70-pound Weight Capacity for safety and comfort as your child grows
• Rear and Forward Facing Recline for child comfort and positioning
• High Density Comfort Foam provides an extra layer of padding to gently cushion your child
• Plush, Easy-Remove Cover with matching comfort pads and infant body pillow to provide extra comfort and easy cleaning without disassembling or uninstalling the child seat
• Two Buckle Positions for your growing child
• Rear Facing - 5-40 lbs
• Forward Facing - 1 year and 20 lbs, up to 70 lbs
Superior Ease-of-Use Features:
• Quick-Adjust Harness repositions the harness shoulder height without disassembling the harness straps
• Premium Lower LATCH Connectors for a quick and simple installation featuring a push button for easy release
• Built-in Lock-Offs ensure a snug lap and shoulder belt installation with minimal effort
• Anti-Slip, Contoured Base grips and protects the vehicle seat while offering optimum vehicle fit

Comments about Britax Marathon 70 Convertible Car Seat (Onyx):
This carseat came highly recommended to us by several friends and so far we have really loved it. My daughter is 10 months old and has so much more room in this carseat. We have her facing backwards righ now but I love that we will be able to use this same carseat once we turn her around facing forward. It seems like a great purchase and one that we will enjoy for a long time.
