This giveaway is closed.

Congratulations, Catherine K.

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.)
