Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat - Brownstone

Pros: Love how you do not have to take the straps apart to adjust height.
Cons: well it is heavy to carry,but that really is not a major complaint.

So after our 22 pound 5m old was height and weight ready to move out of his britax companion, we looked for the next best carseat Britax offers. Britax had two models that topped our list. The boulevard and the decathalon. Both are about the same price, ...

Pros: One of the safest around, side-impact protection, easy adjustments, a wide weight range.
Cons: The cost, but can we really put a price on our children's safety?

What a fantastic convertible car seat! If you are looking for a safe, easy to use, comfortable car seat for your little one, this is it! We bought this for our son when he outgrew his infant carrier. We used it rear-facing for about 6 months, prior to ...

Pros: Easy to use, comfortable, weight range, made in USA
Cons: Cost

We recently had a serious accident and had to replace our Evenflo Triumph 5 convertible carseat. Babies R' Us did not carry the Triumph any longer, so we chose the other highly rated seat with side impact protection, the Britax Boulevard, since we ...

Pros: Velcro strap holders, HUGS system, Side Impact Protection head rest
Cons: Very large, expensive

Wow! That sums it up for this seat. This is by far the easiest seat to use hands down. I purchased this after spending 4 months coping with the twisted straps on my Evenflo Triumph DLX. I didn't want to spend the extra money on this one even though ...

Pros: Keeps that kid safe.
Cons: HUGE and on the pricey side.

At 4 months my child outgrew his "basket" carseat. You know the type, Graco-made, easy to nap in while mom moved him from the house to the car to the grocery store and back. Faced with a looming giant, we headed off to the baby supercenter on a quest ...

Pros: *Headrest is easy to adjust *The seat is as secure as it gets.
Cons: *Crotch belt doesn't adjust *Head rests get in the way *The Regal isn't plush.

I purchased the Britax Boulevard last week for my 4 month old son who outgrew his Graco Snugride. (He's 18 pounds and with all his winter gear, I could barely buckle him in!) I planned on buying the Britax Decathlon or Marathon at Babies R Us, but once ...

Pros: Wonderful ease-of-use & comfort options combined with high weight/height limits make this one exceptional seat!
Cons: It's heavy, but I managed as a 100# single mom to lug it through airports!

Let's start with a bit of background info.... I'm a bio-mom, step-mom, foster-mom & day-care provider. I've been through DOZENS of carseats (also excited to say that I'm getting my Child Passenger Safety Technician Certification in 2 months! *wink*) ...

Pros: Side-impact protection, potential to last from birth-5, comfortable, adjustable, very easy to use!
Cons: may not fit rear-facing in some cars, fewer fabric choices than the britax marathon

I recently bought two Britax Boulevard car seats for my two-and-a-half-year-old twins. They were about to outgrow their Britax Roundabout car seats, and we were buying a second (new) car, and wanted to have car seats with LATCH (our Roundabouts were ...

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.

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: Safe, comfortable, easy to install.
Cons: Large, very large. Also has only 2 recline settings, wish there were more.

We upgraded to this seat from our infant-only Combi seat. I was concerned that this would not fit my Honda Civic, but it goes in quite nicely. Yes it's big and the back seat is now nearly filled, but hey I have a compact car so that's what you get. Besides a smaller car seat would give me only 1 or 2 extra inches on each side. There is just enough room for my wife to sit beside the seat (caveat; my wife is very slim). In exchange for losing all the space, we get a safe, comfy, easy-to-use seat. I especially like that the top tether can be used in rear-facing mode, although not everyone will like the straps running through the space from the seat back to the tether point.
I should also mention that when we eventually turn the seat forward-facing we get a bit more room in the back.

Pros: Ease of use. 5-pt. harness system. Use up to 65 lbs.
Cons: Vision obstruction.

Easy to use. 5-pt harness is a definite plus. Height of product obstructs vision of driver in rear view mirror when installed in center of back. If installed on either side, the same is a problem. This comment concerns the installation in a SUV.

Pros: Adjustable head support. Lobster claw latch hooks in place of hook.
Cons: It is big and heavy, but so is a tank.

Yes $300 is double what you would expect to spend on a good car seat. My boys are priceless. I did my homework and have owned 3 other car seats.

This should be the model for all car seats. It has a steel frame to hold it together in case of the worst. This seat is the most advanced in safety and comfort features.

When I bought this seat, there were 4 other parents buying cheap seats, I hope they never need the best seat you can buy.

Pros: Safest on the market (so, "they" say). Who is "they?"
Cons: My son is not comfortable. He is unable to sleep since his head flops forward.

It took me 3-weeks of investigating. I read so many reviews on different car seats until it started to drive me crazy. All the reviews ended with, "I, then, bought the Britax and it was worth the money. So, I finally decided to buy the "Top-of-the-line" convertible car seat. I was so excited to get my first born the BEST. BOY, was I dissapointed. He tried to fall asleep in his new car seat for the 1st time today and his poor little head slumped forward and he kept waking up. I had to hold his head the ENTIRE RIDE HOME. We're going to look at other car seats today. I bought it on-line and it's not worth the shipping to send it back. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. We're gonna look at the Even Flo Trimph, which is 2nd best.

Pros: Sturdy
Cons: A little expensive, but worth it.

I trust Britax as a brand as they adhere to European safety standards which are much more stringent that US standards. The car seat is durable, easy to clean, easy to install and keeps the kids safe!
