Britax Boulevard Car Seat Review Summary

If you’re looking for a car seat that got extremely high ratings from Viewpoints members, the Britax Boulevard Car Seat fits the bill. Take this quote from one Viewpoints reviewer “for our first son I bought 11 car-seats in his 7 years of life so far, and I did not like a single one anywhere near as much as I love the Britax Boulevard.” Why do they love it so much? The car seat safety ratings are high, with “true side impact protection” the Britax is a “MUST have if you have to place the seat near a door (instead of the center)." Viewpoints also like how the Britax Boulevard is easy to clean and how it has a 5 point harness is “tangle free”. On the negative side, our reviewers noted that the price tag on the Britax is high, but say that “if you spend more and buy the right car-seat the first time, it saves you money in the end.”

The Britax Boulevard is by far one of the best car seats available. It is highly rated in safety and has the added safety feature of side impact protection. And it apparently is very comfortable. My daughter has no problem taking naps in her boulevard and can ride on long trips in it, unlike the other cheaper carseat that we have in our other vehicle. Yes it is a little pricy compared to others, but to me the price is worth my daughter's safety and comfort. Also, she will be able to use it for a long time, since it accomodates children up to 65 pounds!! Highly recommend!

We have 2  Britax Boulevard car seats.  They are fantastic.  Yes they take up a little more room in the seat than some seats, but the safety features are worth it.  The boulevard has side impact wings and the 5 point harness system. It is one of the sturdiest seats built. I know a couple that rolled their SUV and the only person not injured was their youngest son, who was riding in a Britax Boulevard. The fireman that removed him from the crash said the car seat saved his life.

Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat (regal) 

I've purchased this britax boulevard over a year ago for 250 USD with free shipping form a website. My son wouldn't fit into graco snugride infant car seat comfortably anymore when he was 9 months old at 90th percentile, so I decided to buy a convertible car seat thinking of the future. I searched for the most safest, easy to use car seats. Britax is rated as the number one safest by many resources including consumer reports. So I got the best of the britax line which is boulevard for its added "true side impact protection".

Installation takes only...

I spent forever researching to find the perfect car seat for our infant son. I wanted a car seat with not just high safety ratings, but stellar ratings. It also had to be comfortable for long trips as we travel to visit family at least every month. After researching safety ratings, product ratings, and car seat message boards, I decided on this car seat, and I am very pleased with it. Some pros are: side impact protection (a feature only available in a select few car seats, and a MUST have if you have to place the seat near a door instead of the center) this feature also makes a great headrest...

I lucked out when my "in-laws" decided to purchase our car seat for our first child.  I had looked on line, talked with friends that had kids and we spent at least 45 minutes looking at a display of all the car seats in Target.  Finally a mom told us her experiences with each brand of car seat.  Her favorite was the Britax brand.  Due to wanting a neutral color seat (so we could use it with any child) we went to a baby store here in town.  They just happened to carry the Britax brand.  When my mother in law decided on the Britax Boulevard I thought she was crazy for being willing to spend... read full review »

My wife suggested this car seat and she also did all of the research, God bless her! Once she gave me the stats I decided that she made a good choice and we started looking for a good deal. Of course she found one, and we bought it! This seat actually installs in about a minute, I'm not even kidding! It's on the heavy side, but I think that just shows how sturdy it is, since it has a steel frame! It couldn't be easier to get our daughter in and out of, and she absolutely loves this seat, no crying or fussing from her at all! Even though most of these are dark fabric it doesn't get hot, and we live... read full review »

The Britex Boulevard car seat is their top of the line (or at least it was when we bought it two years ago).  It weighs a ton, is bulky beyond belief to carry, but the piece of mind that it affords is priceless (and at $300 it hits your wallet hard too).

One very nice feature is the adjustable head rest that ensures that, as my daughter grows, her head will still be properly protected.

 It took a bit of work to figure out how to install it....now having done it many, many times, I can do it in less than 2 minutes.

The true test is that my daughter loves to sit in her car seat...even if its just...

The Britax Boulevard is a GREAT seat-- slightly expensive, but we got ours on clearance- seems that towards the end of each year, the next model year is coming out and stores start putting the leftovers from the last model year on clearance! 

It's safe, easy to adjust, and seems really soft and comfortable for our daughter.  The thing I love is that it's incredibly adjustable, and was the only convertible seat that I could even imagine putting our three month old in.  It fit her perfectly even though she was quite small.

The only drawback to this seat is that it seems very hot.  We're having...

This seat is great, is was about $300 when we bought it, but it is the only brand rated at 65 miles per hour for safety and tested as such. Which is our normal speed given most of our driving is on the interstate! I don't remember exactly, but I believe that most car seat brands are only tested at 35 miles per hour. I mean, really ?! Who goes that slow in this day and age?

We also like the color , however, it is hard to clean when it comes to throw up, etc. But the dark colors otherwise hide spills very well. The fabric is super high quality and I was very impressed with that. It is bulky, but...

My husband and I are first time parents who are willing to spend a little extra to keep our daughter safe and happy!  When it was time for her to begin sitting forward we looked for a seat that would keep her safe and comfortable and last as long as possible! 

While the Britax Boulevard cost a little more it is likely to last a year or two longer than the other seats with similar features!  It has everything and is adjustable in a dozen ways to make sure that our daughter is as cozy as can be.  It has top safety ratings and to top it all off it is stylish too!  I opted for the purple and floral...

For our first son, I have bought 11 car-seats in his 7 years of life so far, and I did not like a single one anywhere near as much as I love the Britax Boulevard. With our 19 month old son, we bought the Boulevard when he was 9 months old, and I have never been so happy! The straps have NEVER tangled, and the seat still looks brand new. It gets used several times every single day and it looks like it was just pulled out of the box. As far as it being more costly, I think that if you spend more and buy the right car-seat the first time, it saves you money in the end. This seat accommodates up to... read full review »

I love this car seat!  I did a lot of research before buying this seat.  It has been well worth the money for us.  It's very easy to install and is made very well.  It has your child's comfort as well as safety in mind.  The only draw back is that it is fairly large and for us it was a little on the expensive side.  But when it comes to your child's safety what's a little extra space.  We also took Grandparent donations to help pay for it so it worked out very well for us.  We would definetly buy this one again with any other children that we may have in the future.

We were looking to get our daughter a new seat. We were told this was the best. I LOVE that you do not have to re-thread the height strap with each growth spurt. You just twish the side knobs and they move up and down getting a perfect fit! The price is a little high but for my childs safety its worth it.

Also, our daughter is on the petite side so the fact that it does from 5-40 lbs is perfect. she will be in it until she is ready for a booster.

 Only con I have is the cleaning. I was told you have to take out the straps to get the cover off and You cannot put it in the washing machine.

Love this product! Very comfortable instead of those usual hard plastic seat. Great fabric and design and best of all the saftey. This seat is a big seat with side impact protection. My son loves it and never have any trouble with him wanting to come out. Very comfortable he usually falls right asleep. Fits a child 0- 60lbs , rear and front facing. No need to buy 3 carseats as people usually do. Only problem is the buckle located by childs crotch is set too far back (just have to watch not to pinch the child when strapping them in

this car seat is so comfortable my son absolutly loves it everytime he gets into it he immediatly falls alseep and gets all mad at me when i wake him up to take him out, sometimes i think he likes it more than his bed. It is seriously the greatest cars seat ever and it is a little expensive but if you can afford it is is awesome i wish everyone could ahve one for their children, it is also easy to clean well as easy as any car seat is i think they are all hard to clean but it is beter than other car seats i ahve owned.
