Hi. I want to get a Marathon in Ashley Floral for my dd by her 3rd birthday at the end of December. I'm finding it in stock for $195 to $199 with free shipping at BabyAge and BabyUniverse and was wondering if anyone is familiar enough with the trends to give me an idea of what the prices and stock on the seat might be like several months from now. I'd rather wait til November or so but don't want to end up not getting it or paying up to $50 more.

Thanks,
Betty

It's hard to say what their stock will be like that far in advance. I will say you can always find good deals on MA's all over the net. The closer to the holidays that more sales or certain percentage off coupon codes pop up so you might even be able to get it for less.

I agree, it is hard to tell what will happen...BUT...2 years ago, MA's were on sale with similar prices, maybe even a little less than they are now. And in the fall, they immediately shot back up above 200 and didn't come down until this summer, 2 years later. I remember last summer being disappointed and waiting for the prices to fall. Thank goodness my ds didn't NEED the seat until this summer...

don't wait, benefit from using it now

i paid $200 for my marathon 2 months ago. prices may go back up or down depending on how they want to promote their new models. this is the best price so far and then you don't have to wait to use it.

I read on one of the websites that the prices will be going up on August 1st and there will no longer be any deals on free shipping. Supposedly, Britax will no longer allow the retailers to discount the prices on their seats. For example, it said the MA will go up to $249.99 plus shipping. Has anyone else seen that?

Thanks!

Thanks everyone. After reading that notice on safeandsecurebaby, we decided this was definitely the time to buy. Looking forward to getting dd's pretty seat very soon.
