We've had this seat about one month now though our three year old has been in his Boulevard since he was 6 months. It is our second Britax Boulevard and our fourth Britax product overall. We like the Boulevard because of its excellent safety and comfort features. The Boulevard is very big and thus very versatile as it will span a long period of our child's early life (up to 65 lbs). That said, the "Click and Safe" model is probably worth the extra few dollars so that folks not used to using a car seat (e.g. grandparents) can safely determine when the seat belt is sufficiently tight. However, we have it installed "rear facing" right now and it pinches the belt. Thus, I'm not sure the click and safe feature is really working. However, this is not our first seat so we know how tight it needs to be. Britax has improved the belt buckle so that it snaps together more easily now. We also think Britax offers that most stylish seats with the best quality fabric. The bottom line is... Read more

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... Read more

We've had this seat for about 7 months now, and our 18 month old seems happy enough with it, but we've got a couple gripes about the Click n Safe system:
- From the beginning, it seemed to click when it wasn't tight at all, so we eventually started ignoring it.
- Somewhere around 3-4 months, it stopped clicking altogether. I didn't notice at first, since I had been ignoring the click anyway, but my wife commented one day and it hasn't clicked since.
This is a great seat, very comfy for our son, and fits great in the car, but we wish we would have saved the $20 and just gotten the regular Boulevard.

Update: My son is now 2 1/2, and we're still using this seat. It's been pretty durable, having traveled on a couple of airplanes and put up with general 2-year-old abuse well. The seat in our other car, however, is a Recaro Signo, and, while the two seats are very comparable, we like the Recaro a little better in every way: The fabric is softer, the pads on the... Read more
