Britax Boulevard CS

[Elaine]

We're looking to get Thomas a new seat and TRU is having a trade-in sale that ends this weekend (trade in baby equipment and get 20% off a new item) so we wanted to get another Marathon but neither of the stores in Ottawa has any left. One of the stores has a Boulevard though so we might go with that.

Anyone have one? If so, do you like it? Pros? Cons? The store is holding it until tomorrow night so we've got a little bit of time to decide.

I have a roundabout so I'm not help but I love it!

We've got a Marathon and love it so that's what we were looking for. We could get one somewhere else, I'm sure, but with the trade in we'll save some $$$ even though the Boulevard is more expensive than the Marathon. I checked the safety ratings on Consumer Reports and it's got a better review than the Marathon. Both go up to 65 lbs so that's a bonus.

The only con I've read about it so far is the size. Apparently it's a little bulky. Not a huge deal but we'll see how it fits in the car and go from there.

I got one when FAO Schwartz had it for $149. I agree it is bulky, but otherwise I've been happy with it so far. Easy install and I like the click adjustment feature since I always freak out about if the straps are snug enough.
