Read complaints for BRITAX E906 (MARATHON) (Unknown)
I have three britax marathon car seats purchased from buybuybaby in 2009. If the harness straps are loosened using one strap at a time, then the harness straps may become detached from the metal yoke located on the back of the child seat. This happened to two of them in the same day.
Nhtsa needs to mandate tougher safety tests for our children in care seat test requirements.
The built in seat belt lock off failed. When testing the seat, the seat having been installed in that manner for just 4 days, the locking clip failed to hold onto the belt and the seat belt slipped through the lock off. Marks were left on the seat belt from where the lock off failed to hold onto it.i took the seat out of the car and installed it by locking the seat belt. This was during a road trip. When we arrived at our destination, i recreated the failure two more times. The belt lock off will not lock the seat belt so the car seat is properly not secured into the car. The car seat manufacturer, britax, offered a replacement. They stated that it is common for parts to "wear and tear" even though i had virtually never used this part. It has not been replaced, i will continue using a locking belt or latch.
We recently installed our britax marathon car seat (manufacture date in 2008), and we discovered that while the straps do tighten, they do not tighten properly to secure our child in the seat. Only upon careful testing, did we realize our child was not safe in the seat. We called britax and they said they would not work with us because the one year warranty was up. This product is intended to be used for 6+ years.
My car seat from britax is hard to adjust for its harness.

The issue is a possible design compatibility with a latch anchor system and my recently purchased acura 08 mdx.(related vehicle information: model year=2008, make=acura, model=mdx)
