Britax Boulevard CS
$330.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:LATCH connectors. Extra safety measures such as True Side Impact Protection and Click & Safe harness indicator. Designed for children 5 to 65 pounds.
The Cons:Expensive. Crotch strap can be too deep and tight for older, larger children. Not much improvement over the standard Britax Boulevard.
The Britax Boulevard CS is a top of the line convertible car seat, and one of four of Britax's models which feature the more advanced True Side Impact Protection. This advanced protection is designed to reduce neck and spine injuries by minimizing side-to-side head movement with extra energy-absorbing foam around the head.

As in standard side impact protection, the deep side walls with absorbing foam are designed to distribute overall crash forces, shield the baby from vehicle intrusion and contain the head and body. This model also introduces the Click & Safe snug harness indicator, which prevents child seat misuse. This feature is an audiable "click" made by the harness when the straps are snug and safe. The easy turn knob allows headrest and harness height adjustment without having to uninstall the seat. The 5 point harness ensures a snug and secure tangle free fit, while the LATCH connectors provide easy and tight installation. The Versa-Tether anchors the top of the seat to the vehicle to reduce movement in the event of an impact, and also provides stabalization when used as a rear facing seat. The Boulevard CS is designed to hold a 5 to 35 pound child sitting 9.5" to 16" high at the shoulder in its rear facing position. For forward facing, it is designed for a 20 to 65 pound child sitting 12" to 16" at the shoulder. The Britax Boulevard CS is available in a wide array of fabric fashions, and is also certified for aircraft travel. Other features include a rear and forward facing recline for child comfort, and a body pillow for positioning.
