Britax Marathon - Cowmooflage Convertible Car Seat

Pros: Higher weight/height limits. Super cool, plush fabrics. Great latch buckles.
Cons: PRICE PRICE PRICE. Buckles could click into place easier.

I was putting my 19lb boy in his infant carrier that is good up to 22lbs the other day and noticed that the back label on the seat said it's only good for kids up to 26 inches! They don't advertise that anywhere on their site, packaging, etc.. just on ...
