Baby Products Reviews of Britax Boulevard 65 CS Click & Safe Convertible Car Seat, CowmooflageCustomer Review: Great seat, but I don't trust CS to gauge accurate tension Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, this is an excellent car seat and we're glad we chose it. We chose Britax because they continue to be a leader in child safety (we did considerable research). And we chose this specific model because of the superior side impact protection. However, I don't find the Click & Safe (CS) feature of this seat worth the extra money over the standard model. An overview of pros and cons as I see them:
PROS
* Superior protection/safety
* Well designed seat
* Easy installation - the directions are attached to the seat so you can't lose them and are easy to follow
* Durable fabric used
* Decent padding for child's comfort
* Strap height very easy to adjust as child grows
* Easy to buckle and unbuckle - easy in/out for the child
* The cowmooflage pattern is pretty cool (and works for both boys and girls)
CONS
* CS feature doesn't seem accurate - this is the biggest con. After buckling the child in, you pull the strap to create the right amount of tension on the 5-point harness. The CS feature is supposed to click when you have the straps tight enough. However, our seat clicks while there is still too much give (over an inch) in the shoulder straps, and is even less accurate when she's wearing a winter coat. Straps should be snug (not tight) to the body. If we were to stop when the seat clicked, the straps would be too loose. In my opinion, the CS feature is not worth the extra money.
* The straps sometimes get twisted in the harness buckle and it takes a couple minutes to straighten them out (not a big issue).
* Price is higher than a lot of competing brands, but Britax is a leader in safety.
