 The HUGS system exceeds US safety standards. (Onyx shown.) View larger. |
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 ProtectionTM for Peace of Mind
The Boulevard also gives you additional peace of mind by featuring engineered True Side Impact ProtectionTM. 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.

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, Onyx, Barrington, Huntington, Park Avenue.
Baby Products Reviews of Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat, Shannon
Customer Review: I love knowing my baby is safe in this seat!
Summary: 4 Stars
I think that Britax delivers just what is promises with this seat-- a seat that is both easy to use and provides as much security as it can for your precious cargo. When my (big) 4-month-old daughter started seeming like she was ready to bust out of the britax companion (infant carrier seat) I knew that it was time for us to move her up to a convertible seat. After having been so satisfied with the britax companion and hearing that britax convertibles were the safest out there, we decided that we were going to shell out the money. It was a tough decision to choose between the marathon, boulevard, and decathlon. Ultimately, it came down to the increased protection of the side-impact "wings" that made us go with the boulevard. Plus, our daughter had always been a good sleeper in the infant carrier and because of the side-impact headrest, we never found her slumped over to the side.
We are thrilled with the seat! As she got to be a little too big for the infant carrier, she had gotten in the habit of crying while in the car if she was awake. Now, she travels happily awake and asleep! She definitely makes good use of the "wings" as a headrest during her naps, but she'll also just sit back there and jabber away during her rides if she's not sleepy. I love how easy it is to clip her in. The seat is incredibly easy to adjust and get to fit her just right. And I can't omit the fact that she looks really adorable back there in her "big girl seat" in this cute print-- the online pictures don't do it justice.
I have to say that people shouldn't buy this seat because they think it will be a breeze to install. Good carseat installations take time and attention!!! Although it is "easy" to get a good installation, I still work up a sweat making sure that this seat is as secure as possible. I would hate to think that someone might shell out this much money and then do a half-hearted job of installing it securely so that the seat can't function as well as it should in the event of a collision. A seat is only as good as the installation and I encourage people to do a thorough job of installing it, or-- better yet-- get a certified carseat tech to do it for you! (Your local firestation should have details.)
PROS: safety, easy to get my child in and adjust the straps to fit, durable and attractive fabric
CONS: expensive (although I have to say worth every penny if it protects my baby!) installation takes time and effort (but again, this is how it should be)
