The Britax Marathon 70 Chili Pepper has all the great features of the Britax Marathon in addition to an increased rear facing limit of 40lbs and a forward facing limit of 70lbs. The Marathon 70 also has stronger EPP foam and allows for strap adjustment without rethreading all straps. The new Britax Marathon 70 Chili Pepper achieves revolutionary head safety through the use of BRITAX SafeCell™ Technology, Integrated Steel Bars, and Versa-Tether® that work together to minimize head excursion and reduce the risk of head injury during a frontal impact.
