Britax Boulevard Review Summary

If you’re looking for a car seat that got extremely high ratings from Viewpoints members, the Britax Boulevard Car Seat fits the bill. Take this quote from one Viewpoints reviewer “for our first son I bought 11 car-seats in his 7 years of life so far, and I did not like a single one anywhere near as much as I love the Britax Boulevard.” Why do they love it so much? The car seat safety ratings are high, with “true side impact protection” the Britax is a “MUST have if you have to place the seat near a door (instead of the center)." Viewpoints also like how the Britax Boulevard is easy to clean and how it has a 5 point harness is “tangle free”. On the negative side, our reviewers noted that the price tag on the Britax is high, but say that “if you spend more and buy the right car-seat the first time, it saves you money in the end.”

We have 2  Britax Boulevard car seats.  They are fantastic.  Yes they take up a little more room in the seat than some seats, but the safety features are worth it.  The boulevard has side impact wings and the 5 point harness system. It is one of the sturdiest seats built. I know a couple that rolled their SUV and the only person not injured was their youngest son, who was riding in a Britax Boulevard. The fireman that removed him from the crash said the car seat saved his life.

When doing the review for the Britax Boulevard, my husband (who was a certified carseat technician at the time) asked many of his carseat tech friends for recommendations on carseats.  We believed that this seat was the safest option available.  It was expensive, but when it comes to safety, price is no object. The carseat has True Side Impact Protection (which will protect your child in a side impact collision).  

Aside from the safety features, which are obvious & easy to read about on the Britax website, as a mom I have found this carseat to be the best purchase ever.  The cover is removable,...

Am enthusiastic about the Britax Boulevard convertible car seat, and give it excellent rating overall l. The standout feature here is the safety wings with EPS designed to provide additional protection in a side-impact collision. This feature adds safety but blocks the child's view somewhat. If you're considering the Boulevard, it might be a good idea to see how your particular child reacts to it first. The Britax Boulevard also has  extra-high weight limit. While most convertible car seats -- including the popular Graco ComfortSport are only rated for kids who weigh less than 40 pounds,...

As my daughters one-year birthday approached, we started looking into convertible car seats. Our number one concern was safety. We wanted the best. After thorough research, we decided that Britax Boulevard would be the one to provide our daughter the best protection.  It came very highly rated by consumer groups, and feedback from other parents who had this seat was excellent.

One feature we liked is it's capability to rear-face up to 35 lbs. My daughter is a petit little girl and at 18 months is still only 20 lbs, which is the minimal weight to forward face them. However, our research showed...

While it is one of the most expensive car seats available on the market, the Britax Boulevard CS has proven to be one of the best its class.  We have tried a variety of different car seats and have found that Graco seats, although great in terms of price, are not comfortable for our daughter.  Graco seats cause her to slouch a great deal and do not support her neck and head adequately when she falls asleep.  Britax seats are better cushioned, sturdier, and offer head/neck support.  The easy to use LATCH system also makes the seat easy to move from one car to the other in a timely fashion. ...

My wife suggested this car seat and she also did all of the research, God bless her! Once she gave me the stats I decided that she made a good choice and we started looking for a good deal. Of course she found one, and we bought it! This seat actually installs in about a minute, I'm not even kidding! It's on the heavy side, but I think that just shows how sturdy it is, since it has a steel frame! It couldn't be easier to get our daughter in and out of, and she absolutely loves this seat, no crying or fussing from her at all! Even though most of these are dark fabric it doesn't get hot, and we live... review »

The Britax Boulevard is by far one of the best car seats available. It is highly rated in safety and has the added safety feature of side impact protection. And it apparently is very comfortable. My daughter has no problem taking naps in her boulevard and can ride on long trips in it, unlike the other cheaper carseat that we have in our other vehicle. Yes it is a little pricy compared to others, but to me the price is worth my daughter's safety and comfort. Also, she will be able to use it for a long time, since it accomodates children up to 65 pounds!! Highly recommend!

Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat (regal) 

I've purchased this britax boulevard over a year ago for 250 USD with free shipping form a website. My son wouldn't fit into graco snugride infant car seat comfortably anymore when he was 9 months old at 90th percentile, so I decided to buy a convertible car seat thinking of the future. I searched for the most safest, easy to use car seats. Britax is rated as the number one safest by many resources including consumer reports. So I got the best of the britax line which is boulevard for its added "true side impact protection".

Installation takes only...

This it the best car seat ever! My son loves this seat. You get what you pay for. We tried a cheaper brand, because the lady helping us said they all meet the same standard, but after trying it for a day we returned it and bought the Britax which was the best decision we made. No need to worry about re-threading the straps, adjusting the headrest, the straps don't twist or tangle, my son thinks it's comfortable, it has everything you would want in a car seat. Would recommend this seat to everyone!  .

I'm a mom of 3 great kids; so I have lots of experience with Car seats ( my oldest is 14, then 10 and the baby for whom I bought this latest seat just turned one). Let me tell you, they have come a LOOONG way in carseats since my first child. I was amazed by ALL the different seats available. It took me weeks to decide on a carseat and when I finally read EVERY review there was on-line on just about EVERY car-seat available I was stuck on this britax Boulevard model. I loved all the feature's like the true side impact protection, which was a VERY big decisions maker in this carseat for me/ us;...

Britax Boulevard Car Seat

 

This seat is really great, I can't say enough good things about it.

First of all, my 7 month old son fits perfectly and rides so comfortably in it. He outgrew his carrier, and I wanted a safe, and snuggly seat for him to move into. He not only loves the look of the cow print (he smiles and laughs at himself in the Baby In Sight mirror!), but the fabric is so plush and soft. If you're going to get a top of the line model, I figure take advantage of the fun prints that are offered! It's great because it is so soft and lush, but he doesn't sweat in it at all, and he's...

Britax car seats were recommended to me before my daughter was born. I did my usual comparison shopping, and I found out they were rated as the safest car seats on the road. Some had complained about price, but how can price factor into your child's safety? We first purchased the Britax Marathon when my daughter was a few months old. This car seat proved it's worthiness when a lady ran a red light and t-boned my car, totaling it and completely smashing the mid-passenger section. Needless to say my daughter came out without a scratch. We immediately replaced that car seat with the Boulevard,... review »

The Britax Boulevard has been the perfect choice in convertible car seats for my little guy.  I researched car seats for 2 months before deciding on the Britax. Safety is a number one priority as far as my little guy is concerned.  While the Britax brand is more pricey than other brands, I felt the extra safety features as well as their proven track record in safety innovations made the Boulevard a worthwhile investment. 

The Britax Boulevard features side-impact protection as well as standard harness protection.  But the one feature that stood out most for me is the capability of keeping...

I am a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Instructor so I have the opportunity to work with most all the car seats on the market.  I have found that all of the Briax products to be top of the line. For years they have been known for developing quality products and being leaders in safety in the car seat industry, but with a significantly higher price tag.  However this is a true case of you get what you pay for with the Marathon.  The seat is constructed with side impact protection and can be used up to 65 pounds with the 5 point harness which means you can keep them harnessed longer. ...

I bought a Britax Boulevard Click and Safe for my daughter. I have readon review after review and decided on Britax brand. I was weary of spending the money, but then I weighed it out. There are several pros! I figured that she will be in it for a while, and also if we do have another baby I would be able to buy a cover and I would be able to use it for a boy. I also decided that it would be the safest seat for her to have. One major buying decision was that the car seat is made in the USA. I like to buy USA products because that helps stimulate our economy. One con about the car seat is that it...
