This site was such a huge help for me in choosing this seat and I wanted to give my opinion on the seat to anyone trying to figure out what seat to get.
The installation was much much easier than our previous car seat, the evenflo triumph. Considering it was the first time installing it, it took 1/2 the time and there was no swearing or crankiness afterwards. Even after installing the triumph multiple times it was always a huge pain in the butt, and we knew what we were doing. The installation instructions were better also. The lock-off system is awesome too. We loved that.
It fits in our subaru forester better and it takes up less room than the triumph. Not sure how because I thought the seat width was the same on both.
As far as getting my kid in and out, it is great. So far it has been just fantastic, no problems and nothing that is annoying.
So far we love love love the marathon. Plus the weight and height limits for RF and FF are so much better than most of the other convertibles out there. The Evenflo Triumph isn't a bad seat, but for us it was a waste of money because of the low weight and height limits.
I hope this helps someone with their car seat shopping!
