Baby Products Reviews of Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat in Regal
Customer Review: Great Seat! It is a bit difficult at times to buckle.
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this seat. It's very snug rear facing with the seat belt. I did have to use a towel rolled up underneath the seatbase as suggested in the manual to get it to recline at the 45 degree angle in my Murano. Once I did that it would not budge. However, the strap between the legs is short and it is difficult to get at and insert the two leg straps. Sometimes you do not hear the click sound and you have to double check that it is in fact buckled. So there is a slight learning curve, I guess. It definitely takes some time to get used to. I'm going to call the company and ask them about the buckle issue with it not clicking all the time. My husband thinks it's a pain in the butt to get him strapped in especially now that it's winter and you have more clothing with the coat etc. Also, I don't think it's one of those seats that you would want to take out and change cars often. All in all, I do feel that it is a safe seat regardless of the strap issue.Customer Review: I'm not a pro but I like this car seat.

First I bought one of those infant car seats with the pumpkin seat, now that was good because of the removable pumpkin seat made it easy to move the baby about after she fell asleep, that ability of course is gone with this seat. Once she grew out of it we bought the Britax. This seat is superior to the other in pretty much every other way. First the installation, if you have the lock rings, this thing is awesome to strap in and get it nice and tight. I never felt like the other one was that tight, but even having it checked, it didn't feel right. This also has a nicer mechanism for tightening baby. It's also got a steel "roll bar" type thing that really makes you feel safe. But you probably know the safety ratings are all tops in class. The only knock against it is no easy place to attach toys or things for baby, of course I haven't done an extensive search for all the Britax Boulevard Car Seat accoutrements. But all together a good seat.Customer Review: Great Buy

I think this is a great car seat. Some have said you can't hear the "clicking" of the harness and that is true. I just give it a pull to be sure it is secure but I have always done that even with ones that click the loudest. Our 10 month old son is fine in it. He enjoys his new view of the road. We took a 4 hour trip and he was good the entire ride. Great quality and high safety rating is important and this seat has it. Let's face it. All car seats are cumbersome. They make the back seats smaller, we struggle to get the child in and out (especially when they grow heavier and longer!) and they can be tough to install. Design engineers can't make one car seat to fit all vehicles equally. This one was tough to fit into our Trooper and so was the smaller carrier car seat with base. But it's in and I have confidence in this product. (if you are having a hard time installing any baby seat, take the time and have a professional do it)Customer Review: Shipper problem not product problem
Summary: 1 Stars
My issue was with the shipper Babyage not with the product. I do see some of the concerns that other reviewers have with the size. I live in NY and so I rent cars when we travel but so far have not had a problem with the seat being too big (1 for 1). I like the seat overall.
Babyage was unable to ship the seat in time for my trip. I contacted their customer support on a Wednesday and was told I should select ground shipping, that because I was so close it would arrive next day anyway, Friday at the latest. Friday morning I called again for the tracking info and they told me it hadn't shipped because they needed more info from me. I was not contacted by email or phone at all and was left with no car seat for the weekend trip. It may be my fault for not following up at every step of the process but I was still disappointed...
The discount is worth the trouble but order early!
Customer Review: Very happy - I got what I paid for!
Summary: 5 Stars
This car seat was SO much easier to install than the Evenflo Titan I had originally bought. I love the adjustable harness, and the seat is very cushy.
BTW - it is large, but it fits in the middle of my Toyota Prius just fine. I simply removed the head rest of the middle seat. Having a small car, I also appreciate the side impact protection this seat offers.
My two year old loves this seat. I will never purchase a non-Britax seat again. This is DEFINITELY worth the extra money.
The instructions are great, too. They feature photographs, not crappy drawings that are hard to follow.
I was expecting this seat to weigh a ton, based on some of the reviews posted here. Yes, it is heavier than your average seat, but it's nothing you couldn't easily carry around the block several times. It certainly weighs less than my toddler!
Great product!
