Loving our new seat!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received my Britax Boulevard ClickTight Convertible Car Seat in Contour Gray from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We installed the seat for my 2 year old who was ready for a forward facing seat. When deciding to change her to forward facing, the first thing we thought about was her safety! As you would for any product, we checked for the safety ratings, and they were superior ratings. As we installed the seat, we already knew based on the weight and the install methods, we felt secure about what we had read. The seat has a bottom section that lifts to allow the seat belt to run through and under the seat section, which made it so secure it wouldn't even move when we tried and that was before we also anchored it into the back of the seat. The mechanic for the opening of this section requires a twist of a lock, which a child would never be able to do, so it would be nearly impossible for it to ever open up without an adult needing to do so. The instructions that come with it give you different options for what you can use to install the seat so you should definitely read it prior and know which method you are using! We had not done this and it took longer than it needed, but whenever we have to move the seat in the future, we will be able to do it in a few minutes. The fabric of the seat shout high quality! They are soft and durable but most importantly, washable! Since we have a toddler who now loves to snack on the go…washable is key! The insert of the seat is called contour gray. It is a lighter gray than our previous seat and I'm excited that it will not show every single spill as our darker car seat previously had. The seat is missing one important feature if you have an independent little one like I do…cup holders! I have since looked and you can add accessory cupholders. The seat width is comfortable for a child, and it is more streamlined than seats that have built in cupholders. If you have a smaller vehicle or multiple seats, this is probably a plus! You will not have to spare safety and comfort for a smaller width seat. Another plus for security is the flame-retardant fabric! Overall this has been a great addition to the needs of our family…the clicktight seat belt feature is by far our favorite! Car seats are all about safety and this has that plus a great look and feel!
Best car seat EVER!
We bought the Clicktight Boulevard the week it was released. We're going on 3 weeks now, and we could not be any happier. We still have our daughter rear facing, and it has been hands down the easiest convertible car seat we've ever installed! We highly recommend this seat to anybody! Thank you Britax for continuing to make amazing products for our littles!
Confident it will protect my baby
I bought this car seat as an upgrade for my now 1 year old. While it is quite heavy and bulky I am confident it would protect my child if we were ever to get In a wreck. This particular series is a babiesrus exclusive. I like the pattern in the black on black, it is very comfortable with the extra padding. I also like that there is a pouch on the seat to place the car seat manual. This makes it very accessible if you need it instead of searching online or trying to go through files looking for it. Some cons are that's spent over an hour flipping through the manual trying to install and adjust the seat. The instructions for the tethering harness were not clear for rear facing. Also, adjusting the seat angle while seat is rear facing is impossible.
very satisfied - knowing that my little one is well protected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did our research before we switched from infant car seat to convertible. We bought two separate convertible seats for each of our car. We are extremely satisfied with the product. Our little one is comfortable because of all the padding and nice soft fabric. We just drove 6 hrs one way over the holiday weekend and she was fine all the way. After reading about all the features of the Britax car seat, we know we made a very good decision and provided best safety for our little one.
Best car seat EVER
I have a 3 year old and a 10 month old, both have Britax car seats. The 3 year old has had The Marathon for over 2 years now and he loves it. I just transitioned my 10 month old onto The Boulevard (rear facing) and he no longer cries when in a car seat. He absolutely disliked the infant car seat he had. The click tight is such a lifesaver! I can't express this enough. I've had to move the car seats around a bit and i no longer fear the fastening like I did before with other brands (I used with my daughter years ago). Yes this brand is a bit pricy but I wouldn't go back to the cheaper alternatives. Not to mention washing it, it is literally THE easiest car seat to wash. I don't have to YouTube a video on how to assemble the fabric back on.
Wish I found it sooner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to the weeSpring Parent Panel for allowing me the opportunity to submit my unbiased review of the Britax Boulevard Clicktight car seat. We are so pleased with this car seat! We previously were using a different car seat and our biggest complaint with it was that the straps would constantly get tangled in the back making it difficult to adjust. Completely solved with the Britax car seat which means less temper tantrums as mom struggles with strapping baby in! It was easy enough to install which of course is appreciated. It's heavy but I think it frankly just comes with the territory with convertible car seats. They're big and bulky but grateful for the incredible safety ratings to keep my little one safe. We have the Splash (gray and green color) and find it to be pretty attractive. Overall we're very happy and will absolutely be keeping this car seat and recommending it to friends.
Overall Awesome!o
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this a little over a year ago. My son started using it rear facing and is now forward facing in it. I love how easy it is to install. My son seems to very comfortable in it so that's awesome! It is also very easy to clean. Life with a toddler requires a lot of laundry :) We plan on purchasing another for our daughter!
Kept my daughter safe
My SUV was rear ended by a semi truck causing us to roll over and land upside down. My 3 year old did not sustain any serious physical injuries and her car seat remained intact. I repurchased this car seat as you are not allowed to use a car seat after a serious accident. The only part I would change is the crotch buckle is too short.
Super easy to install!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat from the WeeSpring Parent Panel and was excited to give it a try! The car seat was so easy to install and took me less than 5 minutes. My son is just over a year, he is still rear-facing and I used the lap/shoulder belt to install. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the seat was easy to get set up for the install. There is a handy level on the side so you can easily see if you are the right recline angle for your child. The only con during the install was it was a little difficult to get the seat shut once I had secured the seatbelt. I had to really put some muscle into it! The car seat straps are very similar to other car seats and were easily adjustable to fit my son. One thing I didn't care for were the rubber pieces that are on each shoulder strap with the chest strap. It made it hard for me to get the chest strap in the right place because I kept having to adjust the rubber piece and the chest strap. The seat itself is lower in the car than my other convertible car seat so getting my son in and out was easier. Overall this is a great, durable, easy-to-use car seat!
Seems safe but wouldn't recommend .
first of all I have a small 1 and a half year old rear facing. We have a Maxi Cosi 85 in our one car and decided to try a not as bulky carseat in the other car so we got this car seat. It is compact and fits well in the car. one down side is my daughter is very tiny for her age and her feet still touch my cars's seat in this car seat and in our other car with the maxi cosi she does not .. My only major complaint was installing the car seat is not nearly as easy as they make it out to be and my husband and I are usually pretty good with building things and doing stuff like this and this took us nearly an hour to do . If the instructions were more detailed maybe it would have helped. you have to make sure you loosen the harness straps before tightening the car seat in also hard to tighten back up because of the way the car seat presses against the car's seat when installed. also do make sure you recline it first like the instructions say cause you won't be able to reach the lever once locked into your car.. undoing the latch to open the car seat once installed is almost impossible its so hard to turn and clicking it into place took all my body weight and I still couldn't do it and we even tried with the seat belt not as tight underneath to see if that made a difference and it hardly did.. I also would have hoped that a car seat of this price range would have an actual cup holder. Don't bother buying the cup holder to this because it is a joke and can barely hold a full sippy cup without breaking off and I do have it attached correctly .. checked multiple times.. also dosent seem entirely comfortable well comparing it to maxi cosi I suppose isn't fair on that level . I honestly wish I would have just got another Maxi cosi because this wasn't what I was hoping for but it seems safe and good for kids as long as you never have to move it it or mess with it much. also the crotch strap is short even after moving it out for my 1 and a half year old and she is 22 pounds .
