Amazon.com Product Description

The Boulevard from Britax offers a host of comfort and safety features designed to keep your child secure while traveling in the car. Made to accommodate your child throughout his or her infancy, the Boulevard can be used as either rear facing for babies five to 35 pounds and a standing height of 49 inches or less, or forward facing for those babies weighing 20 to 65 pounds, with a standing height of 49 inches or less.

The Britax Boulevard offers: HUGS system for maximum safety. True Side Impact Protection. 5-point harness for a secure fit. Deep side walls and head support.

The HUGS system exceeds US safety standards. (Onyx shown.) View larger.

Quick and Easy Installation
Designed to install quickly and easily, the Boulevard features an easy-turn knob that immediately adjusts the headrest and harness height so you don't have to continually uninstall and reinstall the seat. The tangle-free, durable polyester, five-point harness system ensures a snug and secure fit without unnecessary or uncomfortable pressure on your baby's body. You can also take advantage of the belt holders to keep the harness to the side while you're placing the baby in the seat. Lock-offs tightly secure seatbelts--and since they're built-in, you won't have to worry about losing parts!

True Side Impact Protection^TM for Peace of Mind
The Boulevard also gives you additional peace of mind by featuring engineered True Side Impact Protection^TM. Deep side walls and head support provide advanced shock-absorption and cushioning in side impact collisions, helping to reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) impact foam lining around the baby's head and torso absorbs energy in side and rear impacts, cradles baby's head to keep it away from protruding parts, cushions violent side to side movements, and creates a comfortable resting spot.

HUGS for Optimum Safety and Support
When it comes to safety, the Boulevard truly delivers. First, the patented floating HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system exceeds U.S. safety standards by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding--a feature that's particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap time. In addition, this system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of an impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip.

Proper Positioning for a Safe, Custom-Fit
The Boulevard comes complete with a body pillow and EPS and comfort foam to help ensure proper positioning that keeps your baby's head and neck stable. Front harness adjustment lets you ensure a safe and snug fit, while the rear- and forward-facing recline helps the patented Versa-Tether anchor the top of seat to the vehicle in the event of impact, reducing potentially dangerous movement. This system also allows for rear-facing tethering to help keep the seat from shifting.

Weighing 19 pounds and measuring 19.5 x 27 x 25.5 inches (WxHxD), the Boulevard is also certified for air travel, boasts a soft and supportive design, and offers a valuable level of protection in the event of an accident. The Boulevard comes with a 1-year limited warranty.

The Companion is also available in the following colors: Onyx, Barrington, Shannon, Huntington, Park Avenue.

This review is from: Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat in Regal (Baby Product)

We have this car seat and an Evenflo Triumph. This was twice the price of the Evenflo, but is sooo much easier to use. Adjustments are simple and it's a snap to install. The belts and the seat padding on the Britax have a more substantial feel to them, and the belts don't tangle as often. We're always fighting with the belts on the Evenflo, but the Britax belts rarely tangle. This may sound petty, but a tangled belt doesn't offer good protection in a crash. My son has used this seat since he was 8 months old and the head wings don't bother him either. As a matter of fact, it gives him a place to rest his head when he falls asleep in the car. Lastly, if you have an older car without LATCH, then a Britax is definitely the way to go. The lock-offs insure the seat will not move more than an inch.

This review is from: Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat in Regal (Baby Product)

We bought this carseat when my son turned 10 months old. We bought it because of the side impact protection, in my opinion every carseat should have it. He is now 3 and he still loves his carseat. It has remained in perfect condition especially for everything we have put it through, it is very easy to change from car to car if needed, the material is easy to clean, and the no-tangle straps are a life saver. I have seen other reviews of people complaining of the strap between the legs not being adjustable but my son is in the 75% height and 50% weight and we have never had any trouble with it and in fact he still has room to grow. Some have even said the wings for the side impact get in the way of the child, my son has never had an issue with them but it is all he knows, infact when he falls asleep they are perfect to rest his head on. The material of this carseat is also breathable so if its hot or your child gets sweaty it will not be uncomfortable. The price of this seat is well worth it my son still has more room to grow in it. We were so pleased we bought one for my daughter when she outgrew her infant carrier. Absolutely no complaints!

This review is from: Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat in Regal (Baby Product)

This car seat was SO much easier to install than the Evenflo Titan I had originally bought. I love the adjustable harness, and the seat is very cushy.

BTW - it is large, but it fits in the middle of my Toyota Prius just fine. I simply removed the head rest of the middle seat. Having a small car, I also appreciate the side impact protection this seat offers.

My two year old loves this seat. I will never purchase a non-Britax seat again. This is DEFINITELY worth the extra money.

The instructions are great, too. They feature photographs, not crappy drawings that are hard to follow.

I was expecting this seat to weigh a ton, based on some of the reviews posted here. Yes, it is heavier than your average seat, but it's nothing you couldn't easily carry around the block several times. It certainly weighs less than my toddler!

Great product!
