However, our research showed that rear facing was better so we are glad that the Britax allows this capability. Even better than that....it allows tethering with the rear-facing, unlke many which tether only forward facing. When my daugher reaches the 35-lb rear facing limit, we will turn the Boulevard around and it will accomodate her up to 65 pounds. So we look forward to getting a lot of use out of this carseat for quite...
