I went ahead and ordered a Britax Marathon online because the sale price was an unbelievable 179.99 no tax or shipping..from albeebaby..now I am worried because I didn't even think of the DOM..I called Britax and they said the pattern I choice (ashley Floral) was manufactured in 2005 and discontinued in 2008..I am so worried now that I will recieve an almost 5 year old carseat..how big of a problem is this????

Albee does a pretty brisk business, and some people have been getting really new DOM Ashley's lately, I don't think you'll get one very old, it might even be surprisingly new. But it could be up to a year old, but for that price, it's still great! :)

my friend just ordered a madison blvd from albee baby and called about the date of manufacture since it was a discontinued item, and they told her all their britax were manufactured in the past 6 ish months, that her carseat may have a dom of late 2008

I JUST ordered one. It's due on Friday. And they assured me it was a 2009 DOM. So it better be when it gets here! I wouldn't have ordered it with late 2008 as the DOM.

To the original poster--If the seat were truly already 5 yrs old, then that would be a problem. Britax seats can be used for 6 yrs from the date of manufacture, so you wouldn't want one that was already so old! From the other responses you got here, it sounds like you have a good shot at getting a newer one--Just check the date when you get it :)

thank you I am so excited and nervous about this purchase..I really wanted the britax marathon and when i saw the price and pattern I couldn't resist..i think the Ashley Floral is about the prettiest they make in my opinion so in my excitement i made a pretty hasty purchase, and am now having buyers remorse

I ordered the same seat as you from albeebaby and mine had a DOM of 5/5/09 (i got it 5/22/09)

I called them and they said they have been selling so many that the DOM would be 2009 for sure. :thumbsup:

If you email albeebaby you should get a response within 24 hours. I did before I bought my aqua bv, and they gave me the exact DOM.:thumbsup:
