Britax Boulevard 65 Click and Safe Car Seat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've had this seat about one month now though our three year old has been in his Boulevard since he was 6 months.It is our second Britax Boulevard and our fourth Britax product overall.We like the Boulevard because of its excellent safety and comfort features.The Boulevard is very big and thus very versatile as it will span a long period of our child's early life (up to 65 lbs).That said, the "Click and Safe" model is probably worth the extra few dollars so that folks not used to using a car seat (e.g. grandparents) can safely determine when the seat belt is sufficiently tight.However, we have it installed "rear facing" right now and it pinches the belt.Thus, I'm not sure the click and safe feature is really working.However, this is not our first seat so we know how tight it needs to be.Britax has improved the belt buckle so that it snaps together more easily now.We also think Britax offers that most stylish seats with the best quality fabric.The bottom line is that this is a great seat that is as safe or safer than anything else on the market.It's comfortable, versitile, and stylish.The lone 'negative' is that it's very big.Thus, if you have a compact car, you will havetrouble getting it installed as a rear facing seat without impacting the driver or passenger seat.We have a 2003 BMW 5 Series wagon and, when installed rear facing, it does touch the front passenger seat.However, there is sufficient room for a 6 foot adult male to sit in front comfortably.On the flip side, I believe that if you're buying a small car seat, to some degree you're sacrificing safety.When installed front facing, the size is less of an issue.I know it's a pricey seat, but considering it should last us about five years, I think we can swing the $5/month it will cost us to keep our kids safe and happy.Last, but not least, the Mom wanted the 'girlie' fabric for our little girl.Her older brother has a different pattern.Even I must admit the pattern is cute for our little girl and I do think she likes it.

The Boulevard CS Convertible Car Seat is ideal for parents concerned with providing proper safety and posture-support for their children during car rides. When it comes to your child's safety in the car, it's vital that they are properly secured. The Boulevard CS assists in the process of securing your child with the Click & Safe snug harness indicator feature, which provides an audible sound when tightening the harness to indicate when it is in the range of appropriate snugness.
True Side Impact Protection for Advanced Security
Offering True Side Impact Protection, this seat delivers superior protection if you happen to face an unexpected side-impact accident. If such an event takes place, the solid head support and deep side walls work efficiently to distribute crash forces, shield the child from vehicle intrusion, contain the head and body, and keep the head, neck and spine aligned to limit injury.
Superior 360-Degree Protection to Minimize the Risk of Injury
In addition to True Side Impact Protection, the Boulevard CS offers a range of superior crash force management features to keep your child properly positioned and protected. First, the patented, energy-absorbing Versa-Tether has staged-release tether webbing, anchoring the top of the seat at two points to minimize forward movement. For growing babies, the easy-adjust, tangle-free five-point harness offers infinite harness height adjustments for a snug, custom fit.
For additional protection, the Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGS) reduces forward head movement, while both the EPS foam liner and base are designed to absorb energy and distribute forces in the event of an unexpected impact.
Superior Fit and Comfort Features
Whether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the Boulevard CS reclines in both the forward and rear position. With additional features which include high-density comfort foam for extra padding, a plush cover set with a matching belly pad for comfort, and an infant body pillow for a custom fit, they'll always ride in style and comfort.
Superior Ease-of-Use for Safety and Convenience
Packed with perks for parents, the Boulevard CS includes an easy-turn knob that adjusts the headrest and harness height without requiring you to uninstall the seat, and a front harness adjuster allows for easy loosening of the harness. Premium push-button lower LATCH connectors offer a quick, simple, and tight installation, while built-in lock-offs secure the vehicle seat belt so that the car seat does not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.
The Boulevard CS Convertible Car Seat is available in the following patterns: Davenport, Berkshire Tan, Cowmooflage, Lauren, and Spa.

Evenflo Tribute V Convertible Car Seat - Big Brown Plaid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)sturdy, easy to secure in car, easy to secure baby.

I don't understand the negative reviews with folks unable to to secure the seat/ release the child. If you can clip and release a car seatbelt, you can secure this seat/ your child.

Comfy enough- though thinly padded compared to the $200 seats.

For the price- 5 stars.
Overall regardless of price- 4 stars.

Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After many MANY weeks of research, gathering information from several sites, reviews etc I decided that the Britax Boulevard was definitely the safest bet available on the market. The things that sold me: All the safety gadgets that other seats don't have like the side impact wings, the HUGS system, the LATCH system and 5 point harness and also the fact that it lasts up to 29Kg.
My toddler was using a Cosco seat which I really didn't feel comfortable with, it moved pretty easily in the back seat, it was near impossible to remove the fabric covers if I wanted to wash them ( which is often with little hands rubbing bits of biscuits into the seat, dropping raisins and drinking juice in the car) and IF and when I decided to go ahead and wash it, it would take more than 30 mins to get it all back together again. It was time for a change.
I did most of my research on the net, picking my top 3 choices I went and had a look at them in the shops. I looked at one the Graco Comfort Sport, the Britax Boulevard and the Decathlon and Marathon seats. By far it seems that Britax have the upper hand safely wise on the market, many professional reviews and crash tests agree on this so Britax was the clear choice for us.
If you are spending money on the safety of your kids I really believe that $300 is not a high price to pay for peace of mind. Obviously I think this the THE factor which makes parents doubt if this is the right seat, but look at how long the seat will actually last, if you opted for any other seat, you'd soon have to buy a second one when the child outgrows it.
I have the seat front facing in my Camry (2007) I worried about the size of the chair from reading other reviews but that is NO problem in my car, my son has plenty of leg room and can see perfectly out the window. He is nice and high up which is a bonus and when he falls asleep the side wings serve as support for his head whereas normally it would flop about with his old seat. Installation is not a problem, I suggest reading the instructions all the way through a couple of times first though because as with all things that require instructions, the first time I tried to install it got carried away and started doing things before reading the next step so do make sure you're not too overly confident!! I did actually put a small towel under the seat's base and removed the back headrest from my car to stop the leather from getting damaged. The seat is quite tall, although visibility isn't a problem, the marks on the leather could be.
I have yet to wash the covers but the onyx material is really plush and soft and the whole cover looks easy to remove.I could go on and on about how much I love this seat. We have had it for over a month now and have NO complaints and my 2 year old son is happy in it and a lot more safe.If you are worried about the size of this seat it's really not as bad as people say it is. In fact, the base of the seat is actually smaller (narrower) than the Cosco and you can still fit 2 regular sized people in the back of the car. It's just taller to accommodate taller children. The harness lengths are fine in my opinion and all the padding looks comfortable. Instructions are reasonable and with a couple of practice runs it's easy enough to change from car to car. CONCLUSION: If you're in doubt over the price, it's well worth it.
Pro's:
*The amount of safety features this car seat has
*It's unbelievably secure once installed ( it doesn't budge)
*The quality of the Onyx material is great along with the HUGS system, lips and padding
*You can adjust the height of the harness and side wings WITHOUT removing the seat and without any hassle. It has a sliding rail here which allows you to change the position of the harness and wings without pre-set holes, so it will always be just right for your child.
*The side wings move with the harness so you don't have to worry about whether they're at the right height or not.
*It will last you child a lot longer than any other convertible seat on the market

Con's:
*The price is higher than any other chair on the market
*It's really rather heavy, it's FAA approved but I can't imagine carrying it on a plane... although I have seen some celebrity photos of their kids in these seats and some sort of trolley you can get to wheel it around on. Have no idea where you can get them though!

I have made this as detailed as possible, I hope it helps with all your shopping decisions!

Product Description:
The Boulevard from Britax offers a host of comfort and safety features designed to keep your child secure while traveling in the car. Made to accommodate your child throughout his or her infancy, the Boulevard can be used as either rear facing for babies five to 35 pounds and a standing height of 49 inches or less, or forward facing for those babies weighing 20 to 65 pounds, with a standing height of 49 inches or less.

The Britax Boulevard offers:

HUGS system for maximum safety.
True Side Impact Protection.
5-point harness for a secure fit.
Deep side walls and head support.

The HUGS system exceeds US safety standards. (Onyx shown.) View larger. Quick and Easy Installation
Designed to install quickly and easily, the Boulevard features an easy-turn knob that immediately adjusts the headrest and harness height so you don't have to continually uninstall and reinstall the seat. The tangle-free, durable polyester, five-point harness system ensures a snug and secure fit without unnecessary or uncomfortable pressure on your baby's body. You can also take advantage of the belt holders to keep the harness to the side while you're placing the baby in the seat. Lock-offs tightly secure seatbelts--and since they're built-in, you won't have to worry about losing parts!
True Side Impact Protection^TM for Peace of Mind
The Boulevard also gives you additional peace of mind by featuring engineered True Side Impact Protection^TM. Deep side walls and head support provide advanced shock-absorption and cushioning in side impact collisions, helping to reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) impact foam lining around the baby's head and torso absorbs energy in side and rear impacts, cradles baby's head to keep it away from protruding parts, cushions violent side to side movements, and creates a comfortable resting spot.
HUGS for Optimum Safety and Support
When it comes to safety, the Boulevard truly delivers. First, the patented floating HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system exceeds U.S. safety standards by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding--a feature that's particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap time. In addition, this system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of an impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip.


Proper Positioning for a Safe, Custom-Fit
The Boulevard comes complete with a body pillow and EPS and comfort foam to help ensure proper positioning that keeps your baby's head and neck stable. Front harness adjustment lets you ensure a safe and snug fit, while the rear- and forward-facing recline helps the patented Versa-Tether anchor the top of seat to the vehicle in the event of impact, reducing potentially dangerous movement. This system also allows for rear-facing tethering to help keep the seat from shifting.
Weighing 19 pounds and measuring 19.5 x 27 x 25.5 inches (WxHxD), the Boulevard is also certified for air travel, boasts a soft and supportive design, and offers a valuable level of protection in the event of an accident. The Boulevard comes with a 1-year limited warranty.
The Companion is also available in the following colors: Regal, Barrington, Shannon, Huntington, Park Avenue.

Cosco 22-248BVL Ventura DX High Back Booster Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yes, I know I purchased a cheap carseat based on the price, but was surprised how cheap when it actually arrived. I would never put my children in this. The headrest is actually a detractor. It hits both my sons (1 and 2 yr old) in the back of the head, and juts their head forward, the fabric cover provides no padding and barely covers the plastic frame of the carseat. The cupholder does not stay on, even with nothing in the holder. I sent this carseat back the same day and decided to buy a Britax.

Evenflo Tribute V Convertible Car Seat, Abby II Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have a very tight budget right now, like many of you do too. So it's good to keep in mind that all car seats have to pass the same safety inspections by the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin (google them for more car seat info). The reason all these car seats have different prices are due to comfort and style. We were not concerned about style so much, but we did want our baby to be comfy in case we take long road trips. We went to Walmart and felt the padding in all the seats. We stuck our daughter in some of the seats to make sure everything lined up right with the straps. I suggest you do the same, even if you end up buying it from Amazon because it might save a few bucks.

We chose this car seat because it's cushioning is equivalent to many of the high end models. It doesn't recline, but I didn't want to pay another $50 for the model that did. My daughter's head does slump when she falls asleep, but a kid-sized neck rest mostly fixed that.

Installation was easy enough, although I'm not strong enough to pull the straps down tight (small woman). I assume this will be a similar problem with all car seats.

The straps that buckle the child in are a little odd, but if you take a good look at them before you install the car seat it all makes sense. I got used to the side tightening buckle really quickly and it doesn't bother my daughter.

It fits well in our Honda Civic and VW Jetta, although we put it to one side and can't use one of the trays (snack or cup holder) because it blocks the car door. So we left one off (my daughter doesn't know the difference). We could do without the flimsy arm rests - in fact we left them off, too.

It's tempting to buy the car seats that you can use from 0-100 lbs, but it's silly if you're planning on having multiple children. As soon as our daughter is ready for a booster seat we'll probably have her younger sibling graduating to this car seat. With that in mind, why spend a lot of money on the super fancy all-in-one models?

SnugZee Baby Car Seat Pillow & Head Support - Outlaw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a grandparent I purchased two sets for my grandson.He has a lengthy commute each day and this holds a sleepy head in place when he has his power naps.They were very easy to install and remain in place.A simple solution for an uncomfortable problem.

Product Description:
Adequate neck support is necessary for young babies as their skeletal systems experience the majority of it's maturity in the beginning months. The U-shaped (or C-shaped) pillows currently available on the market work against supporting baby's head by pushing it forward and down. SnugZee works to stabilize baby's head by providing adequate support on each side.Side pillow support cushions can be easily removed so harness strap pads can be used alone to prevent digging and chafing into baby's delicate skin. Recommended for rear facing infants, ages newborn - 12 months. This product is custom made and fabric pattern placement may vary.Product is incompatible with Recaro brand car seats.
