Car Seat Question: Britax Marathon vs. Britax Boulevard?
Hi Ladies-
Does anyone have either the Britax Marathon or the Britax Boulevard car seat? As I'm in the process of registering, I'd love to hear your opinions! I checked out the Baby Bargains book, which says to go with the Marathon, but one of my girlfriends prefers the Boulevard. Hopefully, you all can shed some additional light. Thanks!

I have the Marathon and love it, I am not sure about the Boulevard. Isn't it just a bit bigger, but the same weight limit? Either way it is a great and safe carseat. My 4yr old is still in hers. She can be in a booster, but I feel that it is safer for her to still be in this one for now.

We have the Marathon and love it, as well. I hear the Boulevard has the side impact protection factor, but I have no complaints about the Marathon - and no experience with the Boulevard. Most of the people I know also have Marathons and love them.
Good luck - I don't think you can go wrong with either!

We have the Marathon and LOVE it. I did my research on the Marathon versus the Boulevard and yes the only difference was the side impact extra protection.
Good luck on your decision.
