Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat - Brownstone

Pros: One of the safest carseats available today. Sleeping baby's head doesn't slump forward.
Cons: Expensive, but well worth the investment!

Total Slip Inside Protection makes it one of the safest car seats available today. Great retro and soft faux suede fabric design. Very comfortable for my 10 month old and the height of the seat means our baby can enjoy the view outside(We have a Honda Oddysey). When he falls asleep, his head NEVER slumps forward--which is a common problem with many carseats today.

Pros: Comfort, easy to install, looks good, side head protection.
Cons: Few color options, won't fit in small cars.

I did a lot of comparison shopping to buy a new car seat for my son who is about 19months.

We had a Britax marathon in my other car and have been very happy with it.

I bought the Boulevard after reading about it and comparing with other car seat options.

This seat is the only one I know of with side impact protection. That feature alone is worth buying this seat. No other seat offers this.

Britax is well made, and the latch anchors work well.
installing with a seat belt is also easy to do.

The Boulevard also has a new system where a dial controls the height of the shoulder straps which is a big improvement. The marathon and other seats require you to take the cover off to adjust the straps but not this seat.

The instructions stay attached to the seat so you won't lose them.

The color selection is very limited at this time for the Boulevard.

Pros: Absolute best in safety, easy to use, looks great, and its comfortable.
Cons: Expensive, but protecting your children is worth it.

I needed a new seat for my 3 year old and after looking at many different seats, decided this was the best convertible car seat I have ever seen. Britax is always a manufacturer you can trust for safety. It has more safety features than any other convertible, yet it looks nice, is easy to use, and is comfortable. Since it lasts from 5 to 65 pounds, you'll use it for years! I haven't had to use it rear facing, so I can't say how well that installation works. I've used several other convertible seats, but won't use any other from now on.

Pros: None.The strap for harness latch so short that the harness buckles keep digging into thighs
Cons: No higher strap holes for toddlers.So have to wrap around and keep slipping off.

I spent $300 thinking I was buying a safe carseat for my infant /toddler. Boy was I wrong .What I cannot understand is how it passed the safety test.I hope it does not take a tragedy for this car seat to be recalled.

Pros: Easy to adjust. Safe all around the child. A great investment in my child's future.
Cons: Heavy and costly. But WELL worth the cost.

I was in a head-on collision a week before my son was born so safety is a very high priority for me. I planned on buying a Britax Roundabout but after seeing all four styles in the store, the Boulevard seemed the right choice. It has side impact protection and unbelievably easy adjustability. It's heavy and expensive but that weight makes me feel more comfortable and $300 is well worth the safety surrounding my child. I took my vehicle and car seat to the State Police to ensure proper installation. The trooper used the tether to attach it to our center console (Ford F-250) since our back seat has a high degree of slant. He said Britax is the only car seat that can tether rear facing. As for color, I could care less what color it is (as long as it's not pink). As long as it's safe.

Pros: Comfortable, well made and easy to clean.
Cons: Color not the best. Looks like its from the 70's

My two year old son loves this seat, very comfortable. We travel alot so we needed a good quality seat with excellent crash safety features. The color (light blue plaid) is not what we wanted but we got a great deal on-line for $240.00 and free shipping.
