Baby Products Reviews of Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat, Shannon
Customer Review: Highly Recommend!
Summary: 5 Stars
After being invloved in a rollover accident with my 23 month old daughter securely strapped in her Britax Boulevard and escaping injury, I will never buy another brand of car seat. After the accident, I immediately ordered a new Britax car seat/booster for each of my children. The fabric on this one is very soft and pretty. I LOVE that the shoulder straps are SOO easy to adjust (I hated having to adjust the straps in my older children's car seats). Yes, the price is a bit steep, but you really can't put a price tag on your child's safety. I like that my DD will be able to use the car seat for quite some time. Many other car seats are only rated for about 40 lbs or so and this one goes up to 65 lbs so that you can get lots of use out of it. I've read many complaints that the crotch strap isn't adjustable, but so far I haven't had any problems. By far the best investment as far as baby/child products!Customer Review: Great seat, Britax delivers.....
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this seat. my daughter is very comfortable in it. She used to cry all the time in her infant seat. We have the companion and while it was a safe seat (Britax of course) I think it was time to move on. This is an extremely sturdy seat when installed properly feels very safe. It's also a great looking seat. The only drawback is that it is a pain to get in her and out of it, takes a while to snap the harness together and sometimes makes her upset. But once we get going she's ok and I feel good that she is safe. The part between the legs where you snap the two buckles always moves down so you have to hold baby up with one hand and hold that piece forward so you can get them in without having to shove your hand underneat the babies rear! Not fun. However, this isn't enough to deter me from using it and recommending it. Small price to pay for a very safe/sturdy seat.Customer Review: The best!

I have yet to install this car seat but so far it meets full expectations. I had a hard time deciding between the Marathon, Boulevard, or Decathlon, but doing my research I found that the Boulevard is the all around safest because of the True Side Impact Protection. Another really awesome thing about it is that the headrest/harness (seat belt) adjusts with just the turn of a knob on the side. This makes it truly easy to find the perfect fit for your child. The pattern is absolutely beautiful in person. The flowers look very classy and are soft plush. The purple is somewhat similar to courderoy, but is mostly just a plush feeling as well. This is supposed to be the best, and hopefully I will never have to find out for myself. I would definitely recommend this product if you can afford it.Customer Review: love love love it!

We love this car seat. Yes its big and yes its a bit expensive but, it is SOOO worth it. At 10 months our baby still sits backwards, she was a premie, and it holds her snug without confining her every move. The straps don't bunch and are easy to adjust. The large head rest is perfect for keeping her head secure while on long rides with plenty of naps. The material is soft yet durable ( the purple is corduroy while the flowers are plush). Attaching it to our car was a breeze with the manual that stays attached for future reference. The only draw back is that it is a large seat (wide and deep) which means the passenger seat in the front has to be moved up to afford it the proper room. However, because of its size, our baby will be able to grow into it and use it for a very long time.Customer Review: HUGE SAFETY ISSUE
Summary: 2 Stars
I absolutely loved this car seat until my son figured out how to lift the harness adjuster lever (located between the legs) and loosen the straps to the point that he can crawl out. This poses a huge safety issue. When I contacted Britax they told me to use diversionary tactics to transfer his attention away from getting out. However, when trying to drive, this also poses a safety issue if I am constantly looking back and focusing on my child. Britax also told me that statistically, a child would get bored with this new antic after two weeks and that there was nothing that they could do. So in the meantime, my childs life is in danger every time I drive until he gets bored with his new found freedom!!!!!
