We have the Britax Roundabout and Marathon. They're $200+ and I highly recommend them!

Re: Britax carseats - which do you recommend?
We just got the Boulevard which was recommened by friends because of the dial strap adjustment and a few other things that I don't remember. Its on the pricey side but they said not having to manually move the straps is worth it. I guess I'll find out.

We have the boulevard and it is expensive but it has side impact protection and a knob that adjusts the height of the straps for convenience. It is a great brand and I dont think you will go wrong with any of their seats.

For infants seats, Consumer reports list the Britax Companion #1 on their website
For a convertible car seat they list the Roundabout

I have a Marathon I got in August 2004 and paid $199 online for it, no shipping or tax. I see the prices jumped a bit, but still worth it IMO.

Re: Britax carseats - which do you recommend?
I got the Roundabout. I was not sure if I should get the Marathon instead. The Marathon can hold a child up to 100 pounds I believe. I opted for the one that was a bit less expensive, and that holds a child up to 65 pounds. I figured that since my DH is tall, my child will probably outgrow the height restriction before he or she reaches 100 pounds.

I got the Marathon. My DH and I are both tall 6 feet so we figured we better get one to 100 pounds.

I have the Boulevard as well -- I was sold on the extra side impact protection. She went into this carseat at 4.5 months. (Before that we had a Snugride)

Re: Britax carseats - which do you recommend?
We got the roundabout because the lady at the store said the marathon will not fit in my sedan.

I have the Marathon and it's great. So sturdy.
I also have the Evenflo Triumph and the difference is huge.

I have the Marathon and ordered it online for about $200 with no shipping. It is a great carseat, and worth every penny. We also have a Evenflo Titan ($60) as a backup and there is just no comparision between the two

Depends totally on the size of your car. My Marathan does not work well in our Accord,but is fine in the Pilot. The roundabout is perfect in the accord.

ITA. I have the roundabout, because my car is smaller and it's perfect.
