If you click my links & buy, I may receive a small commission, thank you. September is Baby Safety Month and this week (9/18-9/24) is Child Passenger Safety Week (CPSW). During CPSW The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) aims to make sure children are properly using the correct car seat for them. This week you’ll be seeing lots of information on social media, and there will be events where you can learn from a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.
I purchased this item myself. I was not asked to write, nor was I compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own. Post contains affiliate links. When I was just a few weeks pregnant with my 5 year old, I got an amazing deal on two Britax Marathons. One was my daughter’s spare until her original seat expired, then it became her primary seat. The other was my son’s, and he inherited hers as well when she outgrew it. We got tons of use out of them, but they expire this month. My son is nowhere near ready for a booster so I researched & eventually settled on Britax combination seats.
I ended up choosing the Britax Frontier 90 for $234 from Amazon. Cheap? No. However with the weight & height limits, as well as 9-year expiration, I know my son will get tons of use out of it, and it may be the last seat I need to buy, either for him or his younger brother. One feature I was really looking forward to checking out was the click tight.
We’ve been a “Britax family” since 2005, when we bought a Marathon for our daughter (now 8.) She rear faced until nearly 4 (our original seat RF to 33 lb), and was FF until she was almost 7 (the benefits of having tiny children!) I got really lucky and snagged a great deal on another Marathon when I was expecting my son in 2008, and he is still rear-facing (he will be 4 in May.)
Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air. Read More »
