Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat Huntington
Convertible Car Seats made by Britax

What sets the Companion apart from other infant carriers? Our Enhanced Side Impact Protection head pad has adjustable, air-filled pockets that expand for a customized fit. The height adjustable base features our upscale LATCH/UAS connectors, complete with LATCH/UAS storage right on the base. We also offer an angle recline adjuster to help you achieve the perfect angle for your vehicle.

  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.

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 Enhanced side-impact protection for Peace of Mind
The Boulevard also gives you additional peace of mind by featuring engineered true side-impact protection. 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.

Submited By: Michelle Corcos on 08/30/2009 My son is very confortable in it. We have had it in both back and front facing now. I had to clean it after a milk spill and it was quite easy. Even if the manual doesn't recommend the washing machine, I just put it through a regular cycle and line dried. I often take it out of my car and put in my friends and the installation is quite simple the SECOND time;-) I have an 18 year old car so we have to use the seat belt where she has a newer model with all the proper fixings. The only comment I would have is that the fact that it reclines is not really an advantage if you are using it back facing for a short period since you can not have in the reclined position when forward facing.
Submited By: Kathleen Krznaric on 07/20/2009 This seemed like the cadilac of car seats when we were purchasing. We like that it has side impact protection and is very soft and cozy. We have used it as a rear facing and front facing and the only complaint that I have is that as a rear facing seat it did not fit in the back center seat of my car, therefore, my husband and I had to switch vehicles for some time.
