I purchased the Britax Marathon for my achon son and I wished I had been able to
afford with all of my children, it is worth the investment.

daughter. The reason I chose this brand is because I heard from my sister-in-law
that it is the only carseat that is tested for side impact in car crashes(at the
time. I don't know about today. I thought that was important because of the
placement of the seat in the car. I've haven't used any other seats but I know
that some have a reclining feature like the Britax that is important for comfort
and to help our kids with their heavy heads not falling forward. Hope this helps
