Are you searching for a car seat for your child? If so, looking for a car seat the first time around can be quite confusing. We realize how many brands there are to choose from, how many different styles there are, kinds and features to consider. With so many options, deciding on just one can be quite difficult.



To clear one thing up, if youre expecting a baby in the near future you have the option to choose between an infant car seat and a convertible car seat. The infant seat is easier to carry around and is great until you can stroll them or until they can walk. Although, the convertible seat you can use for much longer (usually around 65 lbs) and you will get more for your money since you can use it longer than an infant seat.



If you are planning on going the convertible route, thats a great choice. There are several great convertible on the market. Although, the brand that I and most parents like best is Britax. This brand has some of the best rated car seats from all the ones on the market, is highly recommended by myself and other parents and it comes with some of the best features you can find!



The seat that Id like to recommend is the Britax Marathon. With over 400 ratings from parents, it still has a 4.5/5.0 star rating! With a rating like that you have to believe its what is most recommended! It has the best reviews Ive ever found and is one of the highest rated seats out there. So, now that you know how popular it is, lets find out what makes it that way.



Features included:



To start out, this seat is made for children weighing 5-65 lbs. It should be used as a rear-facing seat from 5-35 lbs and forward-facing from 20-65 lbs.



It comes with the LATCH system for a safer ride and an easier installation.

It has EPS, energy absorbing foam for a more comfortable ride.



Includes built in lock off clips, versa tether and safe guard LATCH connectors.



Has a removable and machine washable fabric pad to always make sure your childs seat is clean and free of spills and germs.



And lastly, you can feel great because this seat was tested and each test either passed or exceeded U.S. safety standards.



As you can see, this seat has some great reviews which is what is most important. People have already bought, tried out and told you what they think about this seat. So, now you know its worth every penny, will keep your child safe and is highly recommended. Not to mention, youve learned about all the great features this seat includes.
