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!

WOW what a giveaway! I have a friend who could use it, and I bet I could slip in a how to install while we’re at it..crossing fingers.
The contest is now closed to entries!
The drawing will be made shortly and the winner announced a little later today.
I have removed obvious duplicate entries and those from Kecia and I. I see 116 entries, though it is possible some are not eligible according to the posted rules. These will be checked also.
FYI – the giveaway Cowmoo MA has black harness straps – not beige, as pictured in the link. DOM is Oct 2008.
Good luck to everyone!
Cowmoo is my favorite!
Great site you have!! I am so glad that I found it a few years back.
I wonder if I still get to be in the drawing? I hope so. I’ve been lusting after a marathon for ages.
It’s Friday morning! I demand immediately to know the winner! (Waiting patiently to see who gets the MA for crazy cheap).
Shut up about time zones and having a life… 😉
If only that was a CANADIAN marathon. *pout*
Because I didn’t see anywhere in your fine print about only being open to residents of the US 😉
Awesome prize. I love car-seat.org! Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Wow, that would be fantastic. My little guy would love it, as his current seat is very blah-brown
This is such an awesome giveaway. What a great Christmas gift this will make for someone.
Marvin my little girl would love that! She squeels with delight and says, “moo” evrytime she sees a cow! That cow would come to a “forever” home here in Texas.
Oooh! DW is getting tetchy about the SIP wings on our BV. This would be an awesome way to make her happy, and when she’s happy, I’m happy!
This is a great giveaway! We really need the car seat and love the cow pattern so this will be perfect for us 🙂
What a generous giveaway Marvin! thank you for doing it. You really are a great Fish.
I’ve got a couple kids that would love to be riding in a cow. To bad there’s no more matching parkways
Ooooh! Ooooh! Pick me!!!!!! My sister could really use this! 😉 Kate4478
I rarely win, but worth a try!
I love cows.
