Britax Boulevard Car Seat 2009 at Magic Beans

In the realm of baby bests, Britax is practically synonymous with car seat. The Britax Boulevard Car Seat 2009 is Britax’s top of the line car seat – the best of the best. And fittingly, it is comfortable, effective and easy to use. The Boulevard accommodates infants from 5 to 33 pounds in the rear-facing position and children at least one-year-old who weigh up to 65 pounds in the forward-facing position. This allows you to invest in a car seat just once from birth to booster. Really!

The Boulevard has a superb silhouette, giving kids support where they need it, but without unnecessarily restricting movement. The deep, side wings of the reinforced headrest are lined with EPS foam and offer Total Side Impact Protection™, providing a comfy, stable ride devoid of slumping heads.

The biggest improvement on ease-of-use over Britax’s other models is the knob that allows you to adjust the shoulder straps of the 5-point harness. With the Boulevard, you no longer need to uninstall the seat to change the shoulder strap heights. So, whether your child has had a growth spurt, or is bundled in a bulky parka for winter, you can easily adjust for fit. This convenience alone makes the seat worth the price. Like many Britax models, the Boulevard is large, so be sure to measure your car’s interior before making your purchase.

Spilling the Beans: The safety reinforcements on this seat may make it a tad trickier to insert your little one, but we think the increased safety and comfort these features provide make it well worth the extra minute of maneuvering. Also, installing a car seat base is not a skill that comes naturally. Please visit a certified inspection station to learn about proper installation and to verify that your base is installed securely and correctly.
