The LATCH system stands for Lower Anchor and Tethers for Children. Newer automobiles come equipped with the top anchoring system built into the seat as well as a strap dedicated to anchoring a car seat into the back seat of the vehicle. Some automobile manufacturers will install the LATCH system free of charge if your vehicle does not come equipped with the system—check with your local dealer for availability.

The Britax Roundabout is one of the best-designed car seats on the market today. The Roundabout features the five-point harness for baby's safety as well as extra foam padding for baby's comfort and is designed to hold babies up to 40 pounds. Like other Britax products, it comes equipped for the LATCH anchoring system found in all newer automobiles. The feature most raved about is the design of the comfortable padding and straps for baby's comfort (even described as so plush—it's like sitting on a teddy bear).
*Even though the Britax car seats are a little more expensive than other manufacturer's products, many feel it is worth the extra money because of the added comfort, safety, and durability.

The Britax Marathoncar seat features the latest in safety and security for your baby or child while traveling. The Britax Corporation prides itself on its safety tests and safety features. The Marathon provides the LATCH anchoring system (which all newer automobiles are equipped with), however, it will also work in a vehicle that does not feature LATCH.
The car seat also grants the Britax patented Versa-Tether system (which is an added safety feature) making it impossible for the seat to tilt forward or backward should the vehicle be involved in an accident. The Marathon is a convertible seat, meaning that it can serve as a rear-facing car seat for infants and also be converted to a front-facing seat for older babies.
