Parents appreciate the quick and easy instillation of the Marathon which can be done in 5 minutes on average. Also appreciated is the soft material that the covers are made from as it is something the children really enjoy.

The Marathon also has Velcro pieces on the sides of the straps that allow you to Velcro them to the sides when placing your child in the seat. This makes putting your child into the seat much easier as they straps are held out of the way.

There are replacement car seat coves available in different designs should you want a color change or if the seats get dirty over the years.
