know what comes up if you put "new britax "40 lbs rear facing"" in google?
I have no idea if it's official, but it's interesting to say the least. My guess is that the picture is just old stock photo and not accurate.

New Features:
The Britax Marathon 70 Car Seat will go up to 40 lbs rear facing and 70 lbs forward facing. (the original Marathon only went up to 35lbs rear facing and 65 lbs forward facing.)
The New Britax Marathon 70 Car seat will feature a new and improved EPP foam. The EPP foam (Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) Foam) is much stronger and less brittle than the EPS foam which used in the current Britax Marathon Car Seats. I’m really excited about this as on both my britax car seats that I own the foam did crack of in several spots!
The Britax Marathon 70 will feature a color coded lock system that is not currently in place on the original Marathon.
The Britax Marathon 70 will also feature low gravity control to minimize impact. This feature makes the New Marathon 70 (and all the new britax seats) the only car seat that passed the tether test without actually using a tether. (Most consumers dont use the tether! So now you can have that safety easily!)
Another Great new feature is the No Thread Adjusting. The new seat straps can be adjusted to all sizing without re threading the straps!
The Marathon 70 Car Seat will feature a new black plastic shell will extend the expiration on the car seat from 6 years to 7 years as the UV rays of the sun do not affect it.
New Colors:
The Marathon 70 Car Seat will be available in 6 patterns. The Marathon 70 Onyx, The Marathon 70 Blueprint, The Marathon 70 Waverly, The Marathon 70 Allison, The Marathon 70 Crimson, and my favorite the Marathon 70 in Cowmooflage.
What Stays the Same?
The Price! Even with all the great new features and changes the Britax Marathon 70 will remain at $279 Msrp.
