HELP!! I'm trying to decide between the decathlon and marathon, can anyone give me some info? I want a seat that will be useful the longest, which seems to be the decathlon, but I'm not sure there is a real difference between the two.
Also, I've read some negative things about the decathlon harness straps- hard to pull and not tight enough. But I've also read about kids figuring out the lever and playing with the harness on the marathon.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

	Britax Marathon - Click for more info Increasing the time a child can safely stay in their convertible car seat is a big issue and Britax engineers have come through in a big way with the introduction of the Britax Marathon with LATCH. A LATCH Compatible Convertible Child Seat, the Britax Marathon can be used rear facing 5 to 33 pounds and forward facing from 20 to 65 pounds. Compare the numbers and you will see it is hard to find a seat with these weight limits that is safe and functional.

	Britax Decathlon - Click for more info Like its predecessors the Britax Roundabout and the Britax Marathon, the Britax Decathlon is built around two core ideals: safety and comfort. Its easy to see that the Decathlon is comfortable: it's loaded with a 3-position crotch strap, patented HUGS harness system, plush (and washable!) seat cover, belly pad, removable toddler head pillow, and an infant positioning system for newborn babies. These features provide a comfortable, adjustable fit as your child grows - all the way from 5 to 65 pounds.
