Britax Boulevard CS Convertible Car Seat, if you like the Boulevard Covertible Car Seat, you will fall in love with the Boulevard CS! This convertible car seat has an added feature; the click & safe harness adjuster. The adjuster actually clicks when the harness straps are snug, as an audible aide to help determine when the harness is snugly secure. The quick-adjust headrest and harness allows for repositioning of the head support and harness height effortlessly without having to rethread the straps. This convertible car seat allows for rear facing from 5-35 lbs and forward facing from 1 year up to 65 lbs. Rear- and forward-facing recline for child comfort and positioning. The Boulevard CS features True Side Impact Protection which distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, contains the head and body, and minimizes side-to-side head movement. The patented Harness Ultra Guard System, HUGS, reduces forward head movement and gently cushions the neck and chest. The tangle-free, five-point harness with multiple harness heights and lift-lever front adjustment allows for a snug and secure fit. The patented Versa-Tether anchors the top of the seat to minimize movement in a crash. Premium push-button LATCH connectors allow for a quick, simple, and tight installation. High density comfort foam gently cushions the child. The Boulevard CS features energy-managing protective foam and a body pillow for a custom fit. Built-in lock-offs tightly secure the vehicle seat belt. Convenient belt holders keep the harness straps to the sides while placing your child in the car seat. The plush, washable cover comes with matching comfort and belly pads and the contoured base is a perfect fit in most vehicles.
Installation
INSTALLATION:
I wish I had done more research (not on the car seat) but the actual installation of the car seat. When we opened the box and checked out the seat, we were VERY happy with it. Installing it was another thing. We have a Subaru Outback Station Wagon. Thinking that it was a family car, a car seat wouldn’t have been an issue. Think again. There are only tethers in the roof (near the hatch). There are no tethers in the floor. Putting this car seat rear facing was a challenge. We ended up tethering it down on the rails of the front passenger seat. When we move this seat to forward facing, it will be a breeze since we can tether it up.
LATCH system – easy to install. make sure to pull the straps TIGHT after install. Seat will wobble a bit but once you tether it down (or up) it’s very secure. If you do tether it up, make sure the seat is still within the 30-45 degree requirement. It makes it hard to keep the seat secure AND at those degrees. When we tethered it up, it looked like the seat was being pulled upright.
