Britax Boulevard 70 Convertible Car Seat

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.

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.
