Are you searching for a car seat for your child? If so, looking for a car seat the first time around can be quite confusing. We realize how many brands there are to choose from, how many different styles there are, kinds and features to consider. With so many options, deciding on just one can be quite difficult.

To clear one thing up, if youre expecting a baby in the near future you have the option to choose between an infant car seat and a convertible car seat. The infant seat is easier to carry around and is great until you can stroll them or until they can walk. Although, the convertible seat you can use for much longer (usually around 65 lbs) and you will get more for your money since you can use it longer than an infant seat.

If you are planning on going the convertible route, thats a great choice. There are several great convertible on the market. Although, the brand that I and most parents like best is Britax. This brand has some of the best rated car seats from all the ones on the market, is highly recommended by myself and other parents and it comes with some of the best features you can find!

The seat that Id like to recommend is the Britax Marathon. With over 400 ratings from parents, it still has a 4.5/5.0 star rating! With a rating like that you have to believe its what is most recommended! It has the best reviews Ive ever found and is one of the highest rated seats out there. So, now that you know how popular it is, lets find out what makes it that way.
