The Boulevard 70 Convertible Car Seat provides a perfect, adjustable fit as your child grows from 5 to 70 pounds... safely, happily and healthily. It can accommodate children rear-facing from 5 to 40 pounds or children forward-facing from 1 year old and 20 to 70 pounds. Due to its many safety features, this car seat is the crown jewel in the Britax line of 'True Side Impact Protection' restraints. The deep side wings on the Boulevard are tested and made with EPS foam to protect the child from any dangerous side impact. Additionally, the seat allows for easy one hand recline adjustment and also has easy to use adjustment knobs that allow parents to adjust the seat to fit their children as they grow. Apart from safety, the Britax Boulevard 70 car seat also enjoys some of the cushiest comfort features: a plush, washable cover, shoulder belt comfort pads, a removable infant body pillow, and a soft belly pad.

AA'smom January 30th, 2011 This is a great carseat if you have a large car. My son loves this seat and rarely fusses when he he gets in. However, it is huge! You really need a mid-size sedan/SUV/van for this.
IrisfromHouston, Texas January 13th, 2011 This carseat was the perfect choice for our family. It is not as big and bulky as i though it would be.It fits perfectly in my ford edge, and I can still have my front passenger seat back. My daughter looks like she's real comfortable in it, she falls asleep every time she's in it. I has deep sides and head support on each side. It gives me peace of mind to know she is safe, it is worth every penny.
MommyfromNew York, New York December 11th, 2010 Great seat! Easy to install with LATCH system. Fits perfectly in our Honda Accord without taking up too much space. My 7 month old is so much happier now with the extra room compared to her infant seat.
LaurafromEldon, MO December 6th, 2010 I love this car seat. It was easy to install and is easy to use. My two year old preemie, who finally got to turn around, loves to see outside and drive her daddy crazy asking questions about everything she finally gets to see. We got the paisley one and she likes to count the "flowers". 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13! (She refuses to say the number 5)
BellafromNY NY November 21st, 2010 I have been looking for months for the "BEST" car seat for my daughter that just turn One.By the way i found it.Months of research and this wonderful car seat was the easiest car seat to install. As soon as
I put my angel into it she didn't fuss around and just sat in it like a queen. after 20 mins on the road she feel asleep. It seems like every time we go out she falls asleep in it .. She loves it and she looks very comfy in it too. i love it and recommend it to my friends and family. I have seen people complain about the Cost, but you CANT put a price on you children ,they are worth each penny ...BEST CARE SEAT AROUND!!!
Sharon HainesfromKeyser,WV November 19th, 2010 I bought my granddaughter the Britax Boulevard 70 for her 1st birthday. Her parents really liked it and said they would need to get another for their other car, so Iordered my son's daughter another one. The second one was to be for Christmas, but they both are in cars already. I have two Britax car seats in my car for my other two granddaughters, and my daughter has bought five Britax car seats in the last five years for her two children for mulitiple cars.
Sharon HainesfromKeyser,WV November 4th, 2010 This is the third Britax Boulevard I have bought for my three granddaughters. My oldest, five years, is still in hers. She likes being high enough to see out. I have never had any problems. My daughter has bought five over the years for herself and her mother-in-law, who baby sits for her. Everyone who sees mine always asks about it because they think it looks so good, as well as safe.
EmfromHouston, Texas October 14th, 2010 We have 2 of these Britax Boulavard 70 Convertible Carseats - one for each car. We feel they are safe and secure, adding peace of mind. So much better quality, safety and comfort than our previous Graco car seat. Our daughter seems to like them and looks comfy when she falls asleep in them. Highly recommend!
KaitlinfromCorbett, Oregon October 7th, 2010 My 21 month loves his new cow seat!! He is big for his age and it fits him like a glove!! It sits up high so he can see out the window better... We got him a new seat because we have a little one on the way and so we're moving him to the side and I thought he should have great side impact protection... I'll get the same seat for our new little one around the beginning of the year... Very pleased with seat!!
Only thing that I don't love... I live out in the country and lots of crazy whindy roads... I drive a Jeep Grande Cherokee... The seat sits up higher than my last seat & it does make it hard to see around creating a little of a blind spot... I just have to strain my neck alittle more than usual... Not too bad.
Becky October 6th, 2010 My 3 year old daughter "graduated" from the Britax Roundabout to the Britax Boulevard. It fits her much bigger for her height at this age now, and we let our 4 month old baby use the old Britax Roundabout. These two seats fit our Toyota Highlander rather well (one on each side in the back seat).
We favored the Boulevard 70 over Boulevard CS because we didn't think we need the extra seat belt tightness indicator feature of the Boulevard CS. (We figured even with the indicator, we would still manually do it the right way, so didn't think we need that feature). We also favored the Boulevard over the Advocate because the extra padding seems bulky to us.
We absolutely love the Britax Boulevard. We have a Graco carseat in our backup car, and that seat just can NOT compare to the Boulevard. The Boulevard has a lot more padding and feels a lot sturdier!
HelenfromFlorida September 28th, 2010 I was very impressed by the steel structure and the absolute safest features for my daughter. This car seat is well worth the money. The design is great, the material is soft where it counts - on your baby, but durable and easily cleaned in the main seating area.
TamifromSeattle, WA September 8th, 2010 Most of the reviews under the Boulevard 70 are not for the new 70 version. They are for the older model. Then model was not out when the reviews were written. I find this misleaning. I have the Boulevard 70 and love it.
Mandy September 8th, 2010 We bought this car seat for our 11 month old. We bought it in cowmooflage and paisley and like both colors. We've only used it for a few weeks but our daughter likes it a lot better than the previous one (screaming has stopped). I think this is becuase she is more comfortable and can sleep easier in it. Rear facing it does not recline much in my husbands car but it does in mine. The directions say you can put something under it to get a better recline though. Overall we are satisfied with our purchase and would recommend to other people.
CaliforniaMom September 6th, 2010 This carseat feels very comfortable and the safety features are great. Would think twice before buying if you have a compact car. This takes up a lot of space in your backseat.
YYs_mom September 6th, 2010 This is a great carseat to graduate to. My son loves the plushness and he seems to not fuss as much (as compared to his infant seat). The only downside is the size - it is tall and wide. I have a large sedan but, it is still quite bulky. It wouldn't be a good carseat for those with compact cars.
Satisfied MamafromNorth Central Idaho July 15th, 2010 After a lot of research on convertible car seats, there was not a doubt in my mind that I would purchase anything but a Britax. I decided on the Boulevard Convertible. Its a great seat and my 5 month old is sooo happy in it, much happier than in her infant seat. I have peace of mind knowing that she is safe in that seat. Its a great seat and I highly recommend one!!! Worth every penny!!!
Shopping Tarheel June 12th, 2010 Britax is great! The safest car seat around and you can feel it by the sturdiness and padding especially for the head (the most important)
K May 31st, 2010 We were worried about fitting this into our car, because we have a Honda Civic. So we were excited to find that it fits in the center seat! It's tight on the sides though - only very thin people would be able to comfortably sit next to it. There's also more than enough room to move the front seats back for us (5'6" - 5'9" range). Installation instructions are not the most clear but there are videos on the Britax website that shows how to install, which really helped.
PutturfromColumbia, Mo May 28th, 2010 Nice and comfortable even for summer. Easy to install, manual needs some improvement.
Anna fromCromwell, CT May 19th, 2010 I just bought this car seat for my 8 month old daughter and it's truly the best car seat ever made. My daughter has so much more room than the infant carrier. The Britax car seat is so sturdy and I feel very safe having my daughter in it. Excellent car seat!
Pat K,fromCalifornia May 18th, 2010 We love this carseat and bought three! Two fr. BabyEarth, fast shipping. We are very pleased with the purchase. Britax Boulevard is the one to go, no regret.
mpfannyfromAlta Loma, CA May 14th, 2010 We bought this seat for our 9 1/2 month old to replace her infant carrier. She weighs 16 1/2 lbs and could still technically use the carrier, but she was getting cramped in it.
The seat was very easy (for me) to install rear facing in our Nissan Murano. We put it in the very middle, but it could have easily been placed on either side. My husband didn't quite read the directions correctly, so I took a look at it and reinstalled it myself.
The only problem we had is that there is no designated anchor point on the floor to use with the Versa Tether when the seat is rear-facing. Since it is optional when using rear-facing, it wasn't a big deal. I wasn't comfortable using the "over-the-head" method, so we chose to use where the passenger seat is bolted to the floor as our tether point, which was described in the manual. Once you have the LATCH system tight and the Versa Tether tight, that seat DOESN'T MOVE!
Our daughter is super comfortable in the seat. I think she's happy to be riding higher up and sit "big girl" style. She hasn't cried in the car since we started putting her in it. We did remove the HUGS chest pads (which is allowed for rear facing) because our daughter is so short that they were covering most of her torso when she was sitting.
I am really happy with our purchase and will recommend this seat to everyone!
LarafromAustin, TX February 11th, 2010 I started using this seat when my baby was 5 months old and she loved it. It is spacious, yet cozy. It also sits up quite high so that my baby can enjoy looking out of the car windows. Functionally, it is very sturdy and it is easy to tighten and loosen the straps.
MarekfromUT October 5th, 2009 This is the safest carseat out there. The price may be discouraging, but think about how long your child will use this carseat. It figures to $60/year over 5 years.
This is side-impact tested and it's the safest carseat I could ever imagine putting my kid in.
Several features make it an exceptional buy. Tired of worrying about whether the chest straps are too tight or tight enough? Pull a strap that comes out the bottom of the seat and it makes an audible clicking sound when you've pulled the chest straps tight enough for your baby.
There's also a knob on the side that you can turn to move where the chest straps come to your baby...so you can perfect whether they come just below baby's shoulders or at level. (Instructions tell you how you know where they need to be.) With the chest straps, the side cushions by the head move as well, so that baby's neck and head is completely procted from a side-impact car accident.
There is an infant insert you can remove once your baby is big enough, as well.
This is the only brand of carseat I'll ever buy again.
Stephanie fromAustin, TX November 5th, 2008 Love this seat. The adjustable head rest is great, and the velcro on the sides to hold the straps in place while you seat your child in the seat is a great idea too; so they don't end up sitting on them.
Lisa June 7th, 2008 Previously had the Britax Companion infant seats for my twins. Now have two of these Boulevards. I set one facing forward and one backward since one of my 1year old's is >20# and the other wasn't quite at the time I purchased these. Both set ups were easier than I thought they'd be, even "swapping" sides on the latch straps was just like the instructions said. I like: 1. chest buckle (vice the plastic non-buckle thing that the companion had) 2. the main buckle will click in one side at a time (unlike the Companion where you had to have both pieces inserted for the buckle to lock) 3. same system of strap adjustment as Companion 4. The instruction book is secured to th seat, seems inconvenient but you don't lose it! 5. something other than black fabric--I got Huntington (or something like that)(tan with little spirals, you don't see those on the picture but they are cool), and Shannon (with flower pattern)! The only downside I can see fr the near future is that they are heavy and we'll be flying soon. I have wheels for them but carrying them down the aisles--well, it was nearly impossible with the Companion! However, it probably doesn't weigh that much more than comparable convertible seats. Even though it takes 5-65 pounds, and even if my babies would have been ovr 5 pounds at birth, I still would have done the infant seat first, the Companion has the thicker head pillow around the top to keep their head stable; even with the extra removable cushion, you'd need even more than the usual additional stuff to keep a baby's head straight with this seat.
Cathy May 23rd, 2008 I LOVE this car seat. Jacob is 16 months old now & the best thing about it is the side "wings" in the head area. He leans his head against them when he falls asleep so no head "bobbing" or strained neck. The base is quite large but I can fit 2 seats in the back of my SUV and still fit one smaller sized passenger next to them.
Happy MomfromGeorgia March 5th, 2008 So EASY to install. Love the padding for all that comfort!! I bought it for my 11 month old and it is the best seat. We love it!! Price means nothing compared to comfort and safety!!

Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat
Britax hails the Boulevard as the flagship of its convertible car seat line, and it's easy to see why. The Boulevard combines the best and most innovative features from its predecessors, as well as some fantastic new surprises that truly make it a top-of-the-line car seat.
As a convertible car seat, the Boulevard can be installed facing rear for newborns and infants and then convert to a forward-facing seat to accommodate older babies. Like Britax's Marathon and Decathlon, the Boulevard supports babies from 5 to 33 pounds in the rear-facing position, and in the forward-facing position the seat can support 20 to 65 pounds and up to 49 inches tall. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the rear-facing car seat position at least until one year old and 20 pounds. The Boulevard offers a rear-facing harness that will fit most children from birth until well past their first birthday, making it a great choice as a first car seat and also for babies who have outgrown their infant rear-facing only seat but are still too young to move to a forward-facing seat. The seat's higher weight limit will safely and comfortably accommodate most children up to age five in the forward-facing position, extending its use significantly beyond most convertible car seats on the market.
Like its predecessors, the Boulevard features a tangle-free, five-point polyester harness with Britax's patented HUGS, or Harness Ultra Guard System, which gently cushions the neck and chest, reduces forward head movement, helps avoid improper chest clip placement, and distributes the harness load to avoid webbing edge irritation on the child's neck in the event of a collision. The seat's front harness adjustment is a lift-lever style located under a protective flap on the seat cover. According to Britax, the lift-lever adjustment was intended as an alternative to the usual push-button adjustor and is designed to be easier for individuals with low-hand strength and easier to access in the rear-facing position.
A special feature found only on the Boulevard is a unique harness height adjustment dial to help parents take full advantage of the seat's higher weight limit. With the turn of a knob, the Boulevard's harness and headpad are effortlessly raised or lowered. That's right - no more threading harness straps through those tiny little slits. The Boulevard provides infinite harness heights, allowing you to create a custom fit for your little tike without having to remove the seat from your vehicle.
The Boulevard can be easily installed using lap belt and shoulder belt harnesses as well as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) anchoring system that accompanies most vehicles made after 2003 and a few models made in 2000 to 2002. The seat's premium, push-button LATCH connectors ensure a quick, simple, and tight installation every time. If you do not have LATCH or if you'll be using the car seat in an older model automobile with metal locking clips on the safety belts, the Boulevard includes built-in lock-offs to tightly secure the vehicle's seat belt in both the rear and forward-facing positions. For children weighing more than 48 pounds, be sure to use the vehicle's seat belts, not LATCH, unless otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer. The Boulevard conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety standards and is certified for use in aircraft, meaning you can secure the Boulevard into an aircraft seat to keep your baby snug and your hands and lap free. Of course, always check with your airline for any size requirements or other regulations regarding child seats.
The Boulevard includes Britax's patented Versa-Tether system, which anchors the top of the seat to the vehicle and reduces forward or backward movement in the event of a collision. While most car seats only provide tethering in the forward-facing position, Britax's intelligently designed Versa-Tether allows rear-facing as well as forward-facing tethering for maximum seat stabilization. The Boulevard also features a patent-pending rip-stitch tether that reduces G-force effects on the head and body in the event of an impact. Continuing the Britax tradition of safety innovations, the Boulevard's deep side wings and adjustable head support feature True Side Impact Protection, a patented infant head support system that distributes crash forces and minimizes lateral head movement in the event of a side-impact collision. The side walls are lined with EPS protective foam, which manages and distributes energy, while the seat's high density comfort foam gently cushions the child for a comfortable, relaxing ride.
The Boulevard convertible car seat includes premium comfort and convenience features found on other Britax seats, plus a few extras to keep baby especially cozy and content. The Boulevard's plush, microfiber cover is removable and washable, and its premium comfort pads protect baby's delicate skin from coming into contact with the harness system. The matching belly pad keeps the lower buckle from irritating or pinching baby's tummy. The Boulevard features extra comfort padding, as well as an integrated toddler pillow and a removable infant body pillow to provide a perfect, adjustable fit as your child grows from 5 to 65 pounds. Other convenient features include the rear- and forward-facing recline options and the Velcro harness belt holders, which keep the harness to the side while placing the child in the car seat, making boarding less stressful on the parent and baby.
By combining the best-loved features of previous models with excellent new safety and comfort engineering, the Boulevard stands out as the crown jewel in the Britax line of convertible car seats. BabyEarth offers the Britax Boulevard convertible car seat in four different fabric options to suit every style.

I love this car seat. It was easy to install and is easy to use. My two year old preemie, who finally got to turn around, loves to see outside and drive her daddy crazy asking questions about everything she finally gets to see. We got the paisley one and she likes to count the "flowers". 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13! (She refuses to say the number 5)
I have been looking for months for the "BEST" car seat for my daughter that just turn One.By the way i found it.Months of research and this wonderful car seat was the easiest car seat to install. As soon as
I put my angel into it she didn't fuss around and just sat in it like a queen. after 20 mins on the road she feel asleep. It seems like every time we go out she falls asleep in it .. She loves it and she looks very comfy in it too. i love it and recommend it to my friends and family. I have seen people complain about the Cost, but you CANT put a price on you children ,they are worth each penny ...BEST CARE SEAT AROUND!!!
I bought my granddaughter the Britax Boulevard 70 for her 1st birthday. Her parents really liked it and said they would need to get another for their other car, so Iordered my son's daughter another one. The second one was to be for Christmas, but they both are in cars already. I have two Britax car seats in my car for my other two granddaughters, and my daughter has bought five Britax car seats in the last five years for her two children for mulitiple cars.
This is the third Britax Boulevard I have bought for my three granddaughters. My oldest, five years, is still in hers. She likes being high enough to see out. I have never had any problems. My daughter has bought five over the years for herself and her mother-in-law, who baby sits for her. Everyone who sees mine always asks about it because they think it looks so good, as well as safe.
We have 2 of these Britax Boulavard 70 Convertible Carseats - one for each car. We feel they are safe and secure, adding peace of mind. So much better quality, safety and comfort than our previous Graco car seat. Our daughter seems to like them and looks comfy when she falls asleep in them. Highly recommend!
My 21 month loves his new cow seat!! He is big for his age and it fits him like a glove!! It sits up high so he can see out the window better... We got him a new seat because we have a little one on the way and so we're moving him to the side and I thought he should have great side impact protection... I'll get the same seat for our new little one around the beginning of the year... Very pleased with seat!!
Only thing that I don't love... I live out in the country and lots of crazy whindy roads... I drive a Jeep Grande Cherokee... The seat sits up higher than my last seat & it does make it hard to see around creating a little of a blind spot... I just have to strain my neck alittle more than usual... Not too bad.
My 3 year old daughter "graduated" from the Britax Roundabout to the Britax Boulevard. It fits her much bigger for her height at this age now, and we let our 4 month old baby use the old Britax Roundabout. These two seats fit our Toyota Highlander rather well (one on each side in the back seat).
We favored the Boulevard 70 over Boulevard CS because we didn't think we need the extra seat belt tightness indicator feature of the Boulevard CS. (We figured even with the indicator, we would still manually do it the right way, so didn't think we need that feature). We also favored the Boulevard over the Advocate because the extra padding seems bulky to us.
We absolutely love the Britax Boulevard. We have a Graco carseat in our backup car, and that seat just can NOT compare to the Boulevard. The Boulevard has a lot more padding and feels a lot sturdier!

Rear facing it does not recline much in my husbands car but it does in mine. The directions say you can put something under it to get a better recline though. Overall we are satisfied with our purchase and would recommend to other people.

Nice and comfortable even for summer. Easy to install, manual needs some improvement.
I just bought this car seat for my 8 month old daughter and it's truly the best car seat ever made. My daughter has so much more room than the infant carrier. The Britax car seat is so sturdy and I feel very safe having my daughter in it. Excellent car seat!

We love this carseat and bought three! Two fr. BabyEarth, fast shipping. We are very pleased with the purchase. Britax Boulevard is the one to go, no regret.
We bought this seat for our 9 1/2 month old to replace her infant carrier. She weighs 16 1/2 lbs and could still technically use the carrier, but she was getting cramped in it.
The seat was very easy (for me) to install rear facing in our Nissan Murano. We put it in the very middle, but it could have easily been placed on either side. My husband didn't quite read the directions correctly, so I took a look at it and reinstalled it myself.

I wasn't comfortable using the "over-the-head" method, so we chose to use where the passenger seat is bolted to the floor as our tether point, which was described in the manual. Once you have the LATCH system tight and the Versa Tether tight, that seat DOESN'T MOVE!
Our daughter is super comfortable in the seat. I think she's happy to be riding higher up and sit "big girl" style. She hasn't cried in the car since we started putting her in it. We did remove the HUGS chest pads (which is allowed for rear facing) because our daughter is so short that they were covering most of her torso when she was sitting.
I am really happy with our purchase and will recommend this seat to everyone!
I started using this seat when my baby was 5 months old and she loved it. It is spacious, yet cozy. It also sits up quite high so that my baby can enjoy looking out of the car windows. Functionally, it is very sturdy and it is easy to tighten and loosen the straps.
This is the safest carseat out there. The price may be discouraging, but think about how long your child will use this carseat. It figures to $60/year over 5 years.
This is side-impact tested and it's the safest carseat I could ever imagine putting my kid in.
Several features make it an exceptional buy. Tired of worrying about whether the chest straps are too tight or tight enough? Pull a strap that comes out the bottom of the seat and it makes an audible clicking sound when you've pulled the chest straps tight enough for your baby.
There's also a knob on the side that you can turn to move where the chest straps come to your baby...so you can perfect whether they come just below baby's shoulders or at level. (Instructions tell you how you know where they need to be.) With the chest straps, the side cushions by the head move as well, so that baby's neck and head is completely procted from a side-impact car accident.
There is an infant insert you can remove once your baby is big enough, as well.
This is the only brand of carseat I'll ever buy again.
Love this seat. The adjustable head rest is great, and the velcro on the sides to hold the straps in place while you seat your child in the seat is a great idea too; so they don't end up sitting on them.
Previously had the Britax Companion infant seats for my twins. Now have two of these Boulevards. I set one facing forward and one backward since one of my 1year old's is >20# and the other wasn't quite at the time I purchased these. Both set ups were easier than I thought they'd be, even "swapping" sides on the latch straps was just like the instructions said. I like: 1. chest buckle (vice the plastic non-buckle thing that the companion had) 2. the main buckle will click in one side at a time (unlike the Companion where you had to have both pieces inserted for the buckle to lock) 3. same system of strap adjustment as Companion 4. The instruction book is secured to th seat, seems inconvenient but you don't lose it! 5. something other than black fabric--I got Huntington (or something like that)(tan with little spirals, you don't see those on the picture but they are cool), and Shannon (with flower pattern)! The only downside I can see fr the near future is that they are heavy and we'll be flying soon. I have wheels for them but carrying them down the aisles--well, it was nearly impossible with the Companion! However, it probably doesn't weigh that much more than comparable convertible seats. Even though it takes 5-65 pounds, and even if my babies would have been ovr 5 pounds at birth, I still would have done the infant seat first, the Companion has the thicker head pillow around the top to keep their head stable; even with the extra removable cushion, you'd need even more than the usual additional stuff to keep a baby's head straight with this seat.
I LOVE this car seat. Jacob is 16 months old now & the best thing about it is the side "wings" in the head area. He leans his head against them when he falls asleep so no head "bobbing" or strained neck. The base is quite large but I can fit 2 seats in the back of my SUV and still fit one smaller sized passenger next to them.
So EASY to install. Love the padding for all that comfort!! I bought it for my 11 month old and it is the best seat. We love it!! Price means nothing compared to comfort and safety!!

Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat
Britax hails the Boulevard as the flagship of its convertible car seat line, and it's easy to see why. The Boulevard combines the best and most innovative features from its predecessors, as well as some fantastic new surprises that truly make it a top-of-the-line car seat.
As a convertible car seat, the Boulevard can be installed facing rear for newborns and infants and then convert to a forward-facing seat to accommodate older babies. Like Britax's Marathon and Decathlon, the Boulevard supports babies from 5 to 33 pounds in the rear-facing position, and in the forward-facing position the seat can support 20 to 65 pounds and up to 49 inches tall. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the rear-facing car seat position at least until one year old and 20 pounds. The Boulevard offers a rear-facing harness that will fit most children from birth until well past their first birthday, making it a great choice as a first car seat and also for babies who have outgrown their infant rear-facing only seat but are still too young to move to a forward-facing seat. The seat's higher weight limit will safely and comfortably accommodate most children up to age five in the forward-facing position, extending its use significantly beyond most convertible car seats on the market.
Like its predecessors, the Boulevard features a tangle-free, five-point polyester harness with Britax's patented HUGS, or Harness Ultra Guard System, which gently cushions the neck and chest, reduces forward head movement, helps avoid improper chest clip placement, and distributes the harness load to avoid webbing edge irritation on the child's neck in the event of a collision. The seat's front harness adjustment is a lift-lever style located under a protective flap on the seat cover. According to Britax, the lift-lever adjustment was intended as an alternative to the usual push-button adjustor and is designed to be easier for individuals with low-hand strength and easier to access in the rear-facing position.
A special feature found only on the Boulevard is a unique harness height adjustment dial to help parents take full advantage of the seat's higher weight limit. With the turn of a knob, the Boulevard's harness and headpad are effortlessly raised or lowered. That's right - no more threading harness straps through those tiny little slits. The Boulevard provides infinite harness heights, allowing you to create a custom fit for your little tike without having to remove the seat from your vehicle.
The Boulevard can be easily installed using lap belt and shoulder belt harnesses as well as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) anchoring system that accompanies most vehicles made after 2003 and a few models made in 2000 to 2002. The seat's premium, push-button LATCH connectors ensure a quick, simple, and tight installation every time. If you do not have LATCH or if you'll be using the car seat in an older model automobile with metal locking clips on the safety belts, the Boulevard includes built-in lock-offs to tightly secure the vehicle's seat belt in both the rear and forward-facing positions. For children weighing more than 48 pounds, be sure to use the vehicle's seat belts, not LATCH, unless otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer. The Boulevard conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety standards and is certified for use in aircraft, meaning you can secure the Boulevard into an aircraft seat to keep your baby snug and your hands and lap free. Of course, always check with your airline for any size requirements or other regulations regarding child seats.
The Boulevard includes Britax's patented Versa-Tether system, which anchors the top of the seat to the vehicle and reduces forward or backward movement in the event of a collision. While most car seats only provide tethering in the forward-facing position, Britax's intelligently designed Versa-Tether allows rear-facing as well as forward-facing tethering for maximum seat stabilization. The Boulevard also features a patent-pending rip-stitch tether that reduces G-force effects on the head and body in the event of an impact. Continuing the Britax tradition of safety innovations, the Boulevard's deep side wings and adjustable head support feature True Side Impact Protection, a patented infant head support system that distributes crash forces and minimizes lateral head movement in the event of a side-impact collision. The side walls are lined with EPS protective foam, which manages and distributes energy, while the seat's high density comfort foam gently cushions the child for a comfortable, relaxing ride.
The Boulevard convertible car seat includes premium comfort and convenience features found on other Britax seats, plus a few extras to keep baby especially cozy and content. The Boulevard's plush, microfiber cover is removable and washable, and its premium comfort pads protect baby's delicate skin from coming into contact with the harness system. The matching belly pad keeps the lower buckle from irritating or pinching baby's tummy. The Boulevard features extra comfort padding, as well as an integrated toddler pillow and a removable infant body pillow to provide a perfect, adjustable fit as your child grows from 5 to 65 pounds. Other convenient features include the rear- and forward-facing recline options and the Velcro harness belt holders, which keep the harness to the side while placing the child in the car seat, making boarding less stressful on the parent and baby.
By combining the best-loved features of previous models with excellent new safety and comfort engineering, the Boulevard stands out as the crown jewel in the Britax line of convertible car seats. BabyEarth offers the Britax Boulevard convertible car seat in four different fabric options to suit every style.
