VIDEO: Nuna Rava Convertible Car Seat vs. Britax Boulevard Clicktight

THE NUNA RAVA CONVERTIBLE CAR SEAT IS NOW IN STOCK! Free shipping, no tax (outside MA & CT)

We don’t like to scare folks – being a new parent is alarming enough! – but just purchasing a really great car seat isn’t going to be quite enough to keep your child safe. You also have to install it correctly, and while the stats vary, they aren’t reassuring: a whole lot of people aren’t doing it right. This reduces the effectiveness of your seat considerably, and we don’t want that!

So that’s why the debut of the Britax Clicktight convertible car seat series blew our minds. In addition to all of the innovative safety features (which vary between each model), these seats feature the innovative Clicktight system, which makes correct installation SO EASY. It utilizes a belt tensioning plate to install the seat tightly without you needing to shove and tug, a solution that’s easier and more effective to use than other seats that use lockoffs or the vehicle’s integrated seat belt retractor.

So installing your Clicktight car seat is as simple as can be: just open the window in the seat, floss through the safety belt, buckle it, and then close the Clicktight door to activate that great belt tensioning plate. The resulting install is rock-solid every time, as you’ll see in the video below, where Eli demonstrates this feature on the Britax Clicktight Boulevard Convertible Car Seat.

The video contrasts the Boulevard with the Nuna Rava Convertible Car Seat, which uses a similar “Simply Secure” system to get the job done: it uses different color-coded windows for rear-facing or forward-facing installations, but the process and the results are the same.

As you might guess, choosing between these two amazing convertible car seats can be a bit tough! They each have a few features that are a little different, including:

Differing recline systems (we love the no-bubble system on the Nuna Rava);
Differing additional safety features (like the super-cool Safecell system in the Britax Boulevard);
Differing comfort features (the Nuna Rava has such cool flip-out cupholders!); and more.
