 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: Onyx, Barrington, Shannon, Huntington, Park Avenue.
Baby Products Reviews of Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat in Regal
Customer Review: GREAT CAR SEAT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Britax and this car seat. We have both the Boulevard and the Companion and both of them have their advantage and disadvantage. It is important to follow the installation instructions completely. If you are unable to get a good installation, then take the car seat to your dealership, fire department, police department, hospital, highway council and ask for help.
It is important to put your knee in the car seat while pulling the straps instructed so the seat will be a perfect fit to your vehicle. If you are installing using the straps over the back of a third row seat vehicle, make sure you use a towel or some type of covering between the straps and the top of the car seat so you do not harm your seats. If the top of your seat is pulling downward, then you probably have it too tightly. Make sure you use a towel or mat in between the bottom of the car seat and your vehicle seat because if you have leather interior, it will mess up your seats without protection.
The straps on the car seat pretty much stays in place without tangling. If by chance it does tangle, it is a much easier fix than the straps on the companion car seat.
Yes, it is heavy so once it is in; we try to keep in without moving it. If it is installed on a third row seat, if you have to remove it, try exiting the vehicle through the back than over the second row seats because for us it is much easier.
We have never tried the seat as an infant seat or rear facing so I cannot comment on that feature. However, front facing is not a problem and the straps are more than a tight fit. It is very easy to adjust the straps without a hassle.
While attaching the latch between the baby's legs, I do not recall hearing a click but I might have but what we do is after we have inserted the clips, we pull on the belt just to make sure it is in.
My only gripe is the information booklet. It is impossible or near impossible to remove the installation booklet from the car seat without using scissors because it is designed to remain attached to the car seat but under the seat cover. The remedy I found was to go Britax website, download the PDF manual and read the manual from the computer. When I needed a diagram or specific instructions, I printed the document, took it to my vehicle and fixed the problem.
The price for the seats differ based upon the style of the cover. If the cover is a newly released style, then the price will be higher. Older styles are lower but from my understanding the seats are the same. Therefore, you might be paying a higher price for a certain pattern and not the workmanship of the car seat which is more important. If you like a certain style of covering you can always purchase an extra seat cover of the style of your choice. Certain stores have certain patterns as all vendors do not carry the same patterns but again it is the seat cover that is the difference in the cost of the different car seats. Before you purchase the car seat and you want to be certain that the workmanship has not changed, call customer service. They helped me and I am sure that they will help you as well.
I feel that this seat is a safe seat and a good seat. It is worth the money because you should not skimp on your baby's safety even with the hassle of installing and carrying this seat from one destination to another.
