Britax Marathon 70 G3 Car Seat - Compare Prices, Read My View, and Get Some Tips

Did you ever notice how some kids hate car seats while others love them?

One of my kids used to feel so comfortable in his car seat that he would fall asleep as soon as we got in the car. The other would cry the second he got into his seat, and continue to cry until we took him out.

Now, obviously you can't change the way your kids are. But you CAN control the external factors. That's why I always wanted a car seat that would be as comfortable as possible without compromising on safety.

Britax car seats are my favorite because they are known for having the best of both worlds. They are safe. And they are comfortable.

In this lens I want to talk about the Marathon, because it is one of my favorite Britax seats. I'll also point you to special deals you can get. I know because I've been following the Britax discounts for quite a while.

1. Make sure your baby is not over-heated
2. Make sure the straps are not too tight
3. Try a mobile hanging over the seat
4. Sing and talk to your baby
5. Hang a mirror so baby can see themselves
6. Take a photo of your face, enlarge it, and stick it on the seat where baby can see it
7. If all fails, keep car rides to a minimum until your baby gets older

First of all, check for seat or a flushed face

Babies often overheat in the car. I can't tell you how many times I took my baby out of my car seat and noticed he was sweating, even when I was not hot. So check your baby to make sure he or she is not sweating!

Next check the straps

You should be able to slide one finger between the straps and your baby's body. If the straps are too tight, it will hurt your baby and he or she will cry!
