What convertible car seat would you recommend?

My 9 month old is about to outgrow her infant seat. I’ve been researching car seats and believe Britax is the best brand option. Which model is a better product, the Marathon or Boulevard and why?
If you would recommend another product, please let me know…specially why! Thanks!!

Boulevard.
Marathon doesn’t have the amount of side-impact cushioning or technology that the Boulevard does. Also, if you get the Boulevard CS then you know that the seat-belt has been tightened and it clicks in place so you know it’s a good fit.
I wouldn’t recommend another to be honest. I like the Graco-65 My Ride for the price (it has side-impact technology as well, and holds them rear-facing to 40lbs and forward to 65lbs so it’s very comparable to a Britax), but if you have the money that you can go with a Britax then I believe they are safer. Also, having a Britax Decathlon and a Graco-65, I can tell you that the Britax is more comfortable for my daughter, though she likes the cup holders in the Graco.
Oh! Those are both great car seats! The ratings on them are excellent. I would go with either one. Although, I would lean more towards the Boulevard just because it has more features to it. If you’re looking for a great place to compare the two, check out

That’s what I was looking at!
Hope this helps!
