GUESS WHAT?!?! Frugal Coupon Living has reached it’s millionth visitor! And in order to celebrate, we have an exciting giveaway for you!

Recently, I was given the opportunity to review the NEW Britax Marathon CS in Emma. After reviewing THIS* shocking video, I was really excited to experience the car seat for myself. Pulling the seat from the box I noticed some things I liked immediately. The material is a soft, strong fabric (and cute.)  The sidding is cushioned, which will make it really comfortable for nice car ride naps.  The seat was very sturdy and not outrageously heavy.  I appreciated that the seat can be sized for a newborn baby all the way up to a child that is 65 lbs.  The installation was easy and adjusting the straps and fit were very straightforward.  It can be installed and secured by one person, which is wonderful.

Highlights of Britax include side impact protection, energy-absorbing foam lining, and a patented energy-absorbing versa-tether.  The new features of the Marathon CS include the Click and Safe Hardness Adjuster and the Roundabout 50 weight limit of 50 lbs.  For frugal shoppers who like nice, quality things, Britax has a great promotion running. Until December 31, 2009, if you buy BOTH a Britax Chaperone infant carrier and a Britax Chaperone stroller, you will get $100 back from Britax. Get the mail-in rebate form Here.

I am excited to annouce that one lucky Frugal Coupon Living Reader will get their very own Britax for FREE. The winner can choose between the New Marathon CS Here (in Crimson, Emma and Matrix) or the New Roundabout 50 Here (Berkshire Gray, Cowmoofalge, Onyx, Pistachio and Stonehenge.)

*Watch the video I mentioned Here. Perhaps it was my  hormones from just having had a baby, but I really teared up! It really gave me chills and reminded me of the importance of a quality car seat and also the importance of installation. Price can never be laid upon the life of your child. (Ally reminded me to share with you all, MANY local fire and police stations will install your car seat for FREE. My local police station does it every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m.)

My almost 7 year old rides in a Britax Frontier. I love it! I love how secure the seats are. I think Britax seats are the easies to install correctly. I would love the marathon CS in crimson for my 16 month old son.

I would like to be entered into the Britax Giveaway as well. I currently own a Britax Marathon and absolutely LOVE IT! I like how it sits up high so that my son can see out of the windows, I love the soft cover, and after an airline destroyed his first cover–I like how quickly a second one came in the mail. I also …love all of the safety features a Britax offers which is the most important. We have baby #2 coming in April and I would love to be entered for a chance to win, so that that is one less “baby item” I have to worry about in the future :) Thanks!

We currently own four Britax carseats, 2 Marathons, 1 Roundabout, and 1 booster seat. We have always been pleased with their carseats and honestly will only purchase Britax. The covers clean up very nicely too and hold up well. I would love to win another!

Why do I want one? Because I have heard great things about these car seats plus the video was very compelling.
