Marvin’s friend Elly is home from school on a snow day today. So, she agreed to write 116 number squares on paper and put them into a hat for us! Then, she mixed them all up (thoroughly!) and drew them out of a hat at random. Meanwhile, Marvin’s person quickly scrolled down the blog to find the winners. We now have three winners who all appear 
to meet the guidelines listed in the rules for our Britax Marathon Giveaway! Who are they, you ask? Unfortunately, the video of the drawing that was online earlier was slowing the websites down a bit, so instead there is a photo of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize comment numbers, left-to-right.
Marvin sincerely apolgoizes that his inept person didn’t get the exposure/focus right, such that you couldn’t see the numbers on the paper or the names on the screen in the video. Unfortunately, he didn’t realize it until he played back the video and by then it was too late! Marvin knows that because he lives in Illinois, people will now claim that he sold the prize to the highest bidder and then they will try to impeach Marvin. Marvin’s chief of staff has decided not to comment and is now resisting demands for his resignation while he consults his attorney.
Until this is all sorted out, congratulations to our winners! Winners can claim their prize by sending a PM to Marvin at the Car-Seat.Org forums. Otherwise, Marvin will contact winners this weekend. Subject to future discovery of an ineligible winner, the contest results are now final. Any changes will be entirely at Marvin’s discretion. Thank you to everyone who entered! Please add CarseatBlog.com to your RSS reader feed or visit us throughout next year for more giveaways (and for some good blogs, too!). Be sure to spread the word about us, too! Hopefully, as our readership increases, we can find sponsors to do more carseat giveaways next year!
Yay! Enjoy your new MA and Happy New Year!

Congrats winners!
Talk about suspense, I think I was the first person on here (before the post in the forums even) but I couldn’t open the video, then the whole site wasn’t working, I nearly hyper-ventilated! LOL.
Here is a list of the winning comments.
First Prize: #95 – Morninglori
Second Prize: #77 – Mommyto4
Third Prize: #62 – Sharlene
Congrats!
I can’t view it either for some reason. 🙁
I think there was a glitch earlier as I couldn’t access the blog or forums at all for a short time. You can also right click on the link, download it (“Save Target As”), then use iTunes, Quicktime, Windows Media Player or other major software to open the mp4 file.

Can I post the winners?
Yay, congrats winners!
The video worked for me, but it did take it a couple minutes to load.
Me either! Hopefully someone can and will tell the winners.
i can’t see the video either:(
I can’t open it either – it seems like it’s loading, and loading, and loading, but the status bar at the bottom says “done.”
Boo Hoo! I can’t open the video
