Marvin, Kecia, Heather and Darren have a special holiday edition contest for you today! First prize is one Britax Marathon in Cowmooflauge! Brand new, in box! There are two consolation prizes today, also! Marvin will give the second and third prize winners a 3-month Benefactor subscription at Car-Seat.Org. If you already have a Supporter subscription, yours will be upgraded and extended. If you already have a Benefactor subscription, yours will be extended. Sponsors are not eligible for the consolation prizes, sorry!
This giveaway will be slightly different than previous ones. Here’s the fine print-
To qualify for this giveaway, you must be registered at Car-Seat.Org prior to today. Anyone with a forum account made on or before December 15th is eligible to participate, subject to the other rules. The email address you use to enter/comment should match the one you have in your Car-Seat.Org account.
To enter, simply comment as usual, one per family, please. If you leave more than one comment, only the first one will count.
The winner will pay shipping from the northeast which will include delivery confirmation. If you want to add insurance, signature required, weekend delivery, next day, second day, international or other service, that is also at your cost. Expect the cost to range from approximately $25 in the northeast up to $50 on the west coast for FedEx ground service (UPS and USPS will be more). Shipping costs are not refundable for any reason. Paypal is preferred but a money order will also be accepted. Marvin will be rounding up to the nearest $5 to cover Paypal fees and will contact the winner via PM to at Car-Seat.Org to the account matching the email address on the winning comment!
The winners will be selected at random on Friday morning. Marvin will do his best to have the item shipped the same or next business day that payment for shipping is cleared through Paypal or the bank, but shipping times are variable and the choice of service is up to the winner. No guarantees on shipping or delivery days!
Marvin knows there are probably ways to do multiple entries. Marvin knows some people will probably enter with an intent to resell this item. Marvin requests that you only enter once per family and only if you intend to use the Marathon personally. Marvin has no way to enforce this, but hopes that people will honor his request in the spirit of the holidays! Marvin would have liked to sell this to fund his spawning center, but was overcome with the holiday spirit and hopes his readers are too.
The first prize winner may not be eligible for some future giveaways at Carseatblog. In the event the winner does not respond, does not claim their prize or payment for shipping costs is not received within two weeks, Marvin reserves the right to award the first prize to the second prize winner and then similarly to the third prize winner.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Joyous Kwanzaa, Happy New Year and Good Luck from Kecia, Heather, Darren and Marvin!
Oh Marvin, your cold-blooded little fishy heart is not two sizes too small!!! If I were picked it would be given to a recently adopted little boy who could use the Moo-y goodness in his Daddy’s car.
Marvin, you’re one sexy fish, has anyone ever told you that?!
Little Nora could really use this. How can you say no to those chubby cheeks? 🙂
Very generous!
wow. who knew my love for Marvin could grow any more? Marvin 2012!
I don’t have any kids that fit in it, but I will donate it to a needy kid.
Oh, I want it bad! Pick Me! Pick Me!
Thanks Marvin!!!!
This is the best prize yet. Thanks for putting your dream of a spawning center on hold, but don’t give up your dream Marvin!
p.s. My boys love your picture. I have a hard time getting my comment written because the whole time they are trying to scroll back up to see it.
Wow, I couldn’t believe this giveaway today!! Marvin you sure do know how to make someone’s christmas a little brighter. That would make a lovely christmas gift for my sister who is due in June. I really don’t need anymore seats even though I still love a MA.
How DO little Marvins ride in the car, anyway?
How generous!!
My youngest DD could absolutely use a MA! And, she even loves cows!
I know someone who desprately needs this. It would be awesome. Moo-ry Christmas Marvin!
Another great giveaway! I would love a cowmoo!
Wow, what a generous giveaway! I’ll be honest, if I were to win I probably wouldn’t use it myself, but I’d give it to a soon-to-be teenage mom I know.
What an awesome giveaway!! I can totally give it to someone who could use it.
Oh I’ve always dreamed about having a Cowmooflauge Marathon! If you pick me I could hook you up with our 2 female guppies.
ooooo! I want one! This is so cool!
If you pick me, I know an adorable little 18 month old boy who loves cows….(moo, mama, mooo! when we pass a cowfarm 🙂 ) who would be over the moon for a cow seat of his very own.
(I should add he is also very fond of fish, but interestingly enough, will not eat them.)
What a great give away! Too bad I can’t use it in Canada 🙁 I hope someone who really needs this will win it.
Wow, count me in! I’ve got an Ashley floral cover just waiting for it…;-)
Great giveaway marvin! If you pick me, it will come to a loving Britax filled house, just waiting for the right cowmoo to fill its spot!
Wow Marvin, this is a very generous giveaway! Think how many little Marvins you could have fit in this one car seat if you kept it.
Yay! I don’t need it, but know someone who does:^)
Hi marvin!
What a generous giveaway Marvin!
If you pick me, I will hook you up with a cute girlie fish who is red and named Melinda. Shh…don’t tell anyone else about my efforts to work the system.
