britax boulevard clicktight :: safely travel at any stage and any age :: review

When my husband and I found out we were expecting our first baby, we were beyond thrilled! Expecting our sweet little boy was something that we had dreamed about for years, and now that it was finally here, we were excited to do all the fun things that expecting parents do… like make a registry. When we walked into the store though and stared at the mountains of carseats, our jaws dropped. It felt like we were about to take on Mt Everest. This was going to be a little more daunting than we realized! We were at a complete loss as to where to start… thankfully we talked with an amazing, knowledgeable worker who pointed us to Britax and said, “If you are looking for the top carseat for safety, stick with Britax.”

That was over two years ago now, and since then we have been a part of the Britax fan club and never looked back. When it came time for our little man to move up to a bigger carseat, of course I went straight to Britax!

Did you now that 3 out of 4 carseats are installed incorrectly? That’s a staggering number! Because of this, Britax set out to make a carseat that would take away the guesswork and make installation easier for you. With the Boulevard Clicktight convertible carseat, it is easy to see what you are doing while installing it. I did not have to fish a seatbelt through some obscure hole in the back of the carseat like with some “other” brands. I simply had to lift up the seat, pull the belt through, and “click” it back into place (if you watch the video below, you will see just how easy installation can be!).

With the Boulevard Clicktight convertible carseat, you are able to securely and safely travel with your baby from birth (5 lbs) up to 65 pounds! With the option to rear or front face, you are given the versatility to fit the need of your baby…. remember rear facing is safest!! 🙂 With 14 harness positions and 2 buckle positions, you are sure to find the best fit for your baby.

So you probably get the idea that Britax is awesome on safety, but how are they with aesthetics and day to day function? The size of the carseat is perfect! It is not as wide as other carseats which makes it great for smaller vehicles as well as full-size (One of my friends told me that this fits perfectly in her small car without having to move the seats up!). The cushions are also easy to clean and offer ample comfort for my little guy. This carseat seems to sit a little higher than other carseats that I have seen, which makes it easy for my son to see out of the window while we are driving down the road 🙂

There are so many other great things to say about the Britax Boulevard Clicktight carseat, but I’ll just list a few of the features below!
