A Great Convertible Car Seat!, November 19, 2012

We bought this convertible car seat for my 8 month old daughter. One of the selling points is that it is convertible, or reversible from rear-facing to forward-facing as the child grows. We bought the first generation of the same model, the Britax Boulevard 70, for my son in 2010 and we've been so happy with the first one that when my second child came along, we decided to get the G3 for her in the "Caitlin" style.

THE CAITLIN
From the manufacturer's pictures posted above, it appears that the "Caitlin" model is mostly blue. The seat is actually a mixture of lavender and blue-gray leaves, light silver, and dark background with purple bead trim. I posted a few pictures to give better detail. Even though the colors don't match Amazon's picture, they're still very nice, subdued colors for a girl's seat.

THE SEAT ITSELF
- Newborn (5 lbs) to 70 lbs: I love the versatility the seat offers. It works for children from newborn all the way up to 70 lbs! In my... Read more

Britax Boulevard 70 G3 - Onyx, December 2, 2012

We just purchased this seat for our eight month old son. We are still planning on using his Combi Shuttle 35 seat (just in my husband's car) to save having to move seats back and forth. I asked all of our friends with young children about their experiences with convertible seats, and after hearing their stories we decided that we wanted a Britax. They have an awesome safety reputation, and everyone we asked said that it was worth it to just buy the best first.

Besides the many obvious safety features, the things that swayed me were:
-No re-thread straps
-Easily removed cover (no uninstalling when it's time to launder!)
-High weight limit
-"Tru Safe" head protection

As stated above, we bought a Combi brand infant seat, and it had all of the same great features. I was really, really spoiled with the easily adjustable harness and I was not about to downgrade to something more complicated. The Side Impact protection was a selling point, too. The... Read more

Excellent product that installs securely, January 9, 2013

I just purchased a pair of these seats for the family vehicles to hold our one-year-old son. I was extremely disappointed in the Graco Nautilus, because I could not tightly secure the seat in either our vehicles without the seat "floating" about four inches side-to-side. The LATCH system on the Britax uses two push-button connectors that tighten independently. I was able to install the seats in each vehicle (a full-size crew cab pickup and a smaller crossover wagon) within minutes, and was able to tighten the seats down so they are rock solid in the seat. I also love the fact that the harness straps can be adjusted vertically without re-threading the straps.

This seat is a little pricier than the Nautilus, but the higher quality and ease of installation (as well as the peace of mind from having a seat that will not move in the car) are well-worth the dollars. I highly recommend this seat to anyone!
