Britax Boulevard CS Convertible Car Seat Review

Britax Boulevard CS Convertible Car SeatThe Britax Boulevard CS Convertible Car Seat is a delightful addition to any car. It is a great car seat if you’re looking for safety and comfort. Your baby will love it and so will you. The cutting edge safety and comfort features of a Britax product are all incorporated in this latest model and the peace of mind you get is what makes it really top notch. When you hear two distinct clicks you know instantly that the belt is locked and your child is absolutely safe. This sets the Britax Boulevard CS Convertible car seat way apart from other available brands.

The seat has a tangle free five-point harness, which has infinite adjustment possibilities against the usual restricted preset adjustments of other brands. Simply turn the two knobs at the rear of the seat to adjust the height to suit your infant, placing the shoulder straps at just the right height whether front faced or rear faced. So every time you need to adjust the height, you do not need to take out the seat. Great for a growing child! Advanced side impact protection offers extra protection. This is very useful, especially in the absence of side impact air bags. The Versa-tether by Britax can be used even in a rear facing position.

The seat can be installed front faced or rear faced either by seat belt or LATCH. Installation is easy and the push button releases make removing very convenient. Once installed it doesn’t budge at all. If you have any problems working out the installation just refer to the online video at the Britax website. The seat has a capacity to fit in infants from 5 to 35 pounds rear facing, while front facing it can fit infants of 20 to 65 pounds. So generally it lasts your baby till 5 to 6 yrs, which is a good utility life.

The feel of the seat is very plush and the padding and fabric very cushy. It prevents the baby from sweating. Plus the cover can be removed and reinstalled very easily. This makes it great for washing and seat covers do need periodic washing as infants have a tendency of scrubbing in food. The seat is accommodated with adjustable rear and forward facing recline, body pillows and a quick-adjust headrest. The wider head wings support the head of a nodding baby nicely and prevent it from flopping which is an issue with other seats. The wings move along with the harness and you do not need to worry about the shoulder straps being at par with the wings every time you move the harness. The shoulder belts are wide and do not get folded every time you use it. They are extra padded for added comfort. Webbing loads are smartly distributed by the patented HUGS system. This also prevents webbing edge loads accumulating on the baby’s neck in the case of a collision. The base of the seat is smaller than most other seats and so it takes up less space in the car.

Overall the Britax Boulevard CS Convertible Car Seat is one of the best of its kind in terms of safety, comfort and is a great buy. I definitely recommend this car seat!
