Britax Boulevard: Take a seat

I love Britax car seats, and I’m not sure I’ll ever use another brand. I recently got the chance to check out the Britax Boulevard cat seat and I am happy to say it’s fabulous! Click here to read my review of the Boulevard’s "little" sister the Diplomat.

My biggest concern with the Boulevard (and even the Diplomat) was that the deep side wings that cushion the child’s head would block my child’s view and in turn make her cranky. But, my concerns went out the window when I read what they do: "The Britax Boulevardcar seat features True Side Impact Protection™ with deep side walls andhead support to provide advanced protection in side impact collisions." And I’m even happier to report that my child doesn’t mind them one bit. She simply leans a bit farther forward to see around them!

I love, love, LOVE this seat! First of all the Shannon "fashion" print is stunning and looks great against my tan leather interior. The purple accents are so soft and plush and look great against the soft, yellow floral print. My favorite feature is how you can adjust the harness strap height simply by turning a knob. Not having to uninstall and reinstall the seat is a HUGE time saver!

I can’t rave enough about this seat and the biggest reason I love it, is I know how safe it is! Remember, Britax has many optionsfor carseats, from infant carriers to booster seats.

I have this exact same car seat for my daughter and we both love it!!! Its truely the best out there and I have done alot of research. My daughter has obstructive apnea and position matters. When she sleeps in her britax she breathes great!

My 10 month old happily sits in this car seat. I bought it orginally based on the Britax reputation and it definetly has lived up to it. I do not notice any concerns from my son not being able to see around the “wings”. He looks comfortable and easily allows the harness to fasten around him.

I LOVE these car seats so much I bought four of them so I would have 2 in the car and truck. I was in a really bad car accident with both the girls and my husband. I turned around once the car had stopped moving and my girls were still sleeping. We were hit so hard on the front corner it caused 12,000 dollars damage on our car and they didn’t even wake up. Of course after the accident we replaced them. I would not buy anything else for my twins.
