Britax all the way!!!!!!I have gone through a lot of car seats as my daughter is very picky and she also loves to sleep in the car and the Britax was the most comfy for her and her head didn't fall forward which it always did in the other car seats. This worth the money!
The quality of Britax cannot be beat. The seat is lush comfortable and has every feature. It is narrow. I highly recommend that you try it in a store with your child in a winter coat before purchase. They make other seats that are wider but they do not recline. My daughter is 5 and small for her size very skinny and wearing a down jacket, she had more room in the Marathon than in the Parkway, I was surprised by that. The seat however is just what I come to expect from Britax pure quality. I had a friend who's daughter used to cry that her seat hurt her, I told her to get a Britax and she never had another complaint even on long trips. The fabric is like all Britax seats, soft luxurious and easy to clean. Even after a huge spill it looks like new after a wash. The padding is soft and comfortable. My 5 year old is able to clip herself in with no problem at all. Very easy to use. The recline is a nice feature, she still falls asleep in the car so when I am going on a long trip, I can position the seat so she is comfortable and she sleeps without her head slumping forward at all. The cup holders are nice to have for little snacks. It is a great seat just wish it was a little wider but I am very happy with my purchase and would buy it again. I have a Roundabout, a Marathon and now a Parkway, for safety and comfort you cannot go wrong with a Britax seat. First class all the way.
