Ever since we got a chance to try the Britax car seats, I have been looking for a second one at a good price. Maya is in a bucket seat right now and after experiencing the Britax first hand, I really want both the girls in the best seats we can afford. The Marathon gets great reviews and it accommodates up to 65lbs so we can have her in it now (at 6 months) and she doesn’t need another seat.
I have been looking at the Britax Marathon everywhere and I spotted the Allie design which is being closed out. I actually like this design and I was pleasantly surprised to find it is on Diapers.com right now for $185! That is a REALLY great price and they JUST lowered it as it was $226 yesterday! They also have the Hannah pattern marked down to $185 and Fed Ex shipping is free. These seats are normally $279 (Amazon has the Allie on clearance for $185 and the Hannah for $185- but they both ship from diapers.com).
If you have never ordered from diapers.com you get two extra perks to make this car seat a steal! The first is by using promo code: MYFR4038– which gets you $10 off diapers when you spend $50. So if you order this car seat and add a jumbo pack of diapers- use the code and basically get the pack free!
Then they offer another bonus for new customers- either a subscription to Parents magazine or a $14.97 rebate! Now the rebate takes several weeks to process but the net for the car seat is about $170 after rebate and you get a free pack of diapers! I don’t know how long this will last- but I finally pulled the trigger and just ordered Allie today.
the britax boulevard is really nice and you don’t have to rethread the shoulder staps. albeebaby.com has the boulevard in Meghan for 189 and it includes s&h..i will be buying it late january for my 8 week old..i have this seat in purple for my 19month old and love it.
I was just on Amazon and the Hannah and Allie are both 185.99 with free shipping. Just thought I would share!

Julie they just reduced because they are both shipping from diapers.com! I checked when I posted so I must have gone to diapers.com at exactly the right second.
Thanks for posting this! I just ordered the Allie for my little girl also, what a great deal! I posted about it on my baby forums too so they will probably sell out fast 🙂
PS. If you add a package of Huggies to your cart, there is a little box you can check for an additional $1.50 off.
Thank you so much! My friends all said they love this car seat and $100 off is a steal!
