I haven't really been on here much lately. I have read a little bit about crash test videos and britax seats and am a bit concerned.

My youngest is now 4 and 33lbs. He has a fpsv and I need to use this seat for him ff in his father's vehicle. He will be switched to a booster at 40lbs for several good reasons. Is he safe ff in this fpsv until 40lbs?

Britax convertibles have passed all the tests they need to pass. He will be safe, especially if the seat is tethered.

Thanks, that is what I figured. I like the seat and it fits him and the vehicle right. Now if dad can only install and use it right. That is the reason he will be switched to a booster right at 40lbs.:( I am very nervous about misuse and I can not be there to install it.)

I'm personally not using mine until I hear more from Britax about this but I also have other seats to use so it isn't a burden for me not to use them.

The marathon has been on the market for 7 years and we have never heard of the straps going though the back in any real world crash and to be honest with the board so active and with so many people here if it had happened we would know about it.
