I know people have had mixed experiences with Britax, but I just had a stellar experience with them and I had to tell you all.
I noticed that my 4.5 yo son's FF Marathon (mfg. date 12/05) was in a slightly different position from his twin sister's and unbuckled his to find that it was not locking in the upright position. I called Britax and they emailed me a UPS label to return the seat to them so they could check it out. I sent the seat last Tuesday from MA to NC. Monday they called me to say the seat couldn't be fixed and they would send me a new one. My cover (Racer, bought b/c it was on sale) was discontinued so they wanted to know what I wanted instead. I got Cow Moo, manufactured 9/24/07, which came today, on the 26th!
My kids are both thrilled with it which is great, except now they're going to argue over who rides in Cow Moo and who rides in Colonial Blue (or whatever it's called). Fortunately they're both on the top slots, so we'll just have to institute a strict turn-taking policy!
