Amazon.com Product Description

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.

True side-impact protection.

5-point harness for a secure fit.

Deep side walls and head support.

The HUGS system exceeds US safety standards. (Onyx shown.) View larger.

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.

The Companion is also available in the following colors: Regal, Barrington, Shannon, Huntington, Park Avenue.

Good product - E. S. A. Junior, May 03, 2008

Amazon delivered on time. Great product for my 7 month child. Just a little expensive.

This car seat makes me wish I weighed less than 65 pounds! - N. Derhammer, Apr 25, 2008

We are very happy with our purchase. After reading a number of reviews, we were nervous about whether or not we'd be able to install the seat in under 14 hours, but it was really quite simple. Our daughter also seems pretty satisfied with her new perch.

Great car seat - a few drawbacks - S. Brown, Apr 16, 2008

We are using the Boulevard in the rear facing mode for our 6 month old son who outgrew his infant carrier.

The pros: Set up was a piece of cake - super super super easy. The way all the extra parts fit within the seat (under the cover) is well designed. It's very plush and soft - and you can remove it to wash. The straps don't need to be rethreaded to move up and down - you just turn the knob.

The cons: The straps get tangled each time I put the baby in and out, even with the rubbery "hugs" things. I think the dark fabric makes it more difficult to see what the straps are doing. The high profile of the seat in combination with the height of the seat makes it awkward to take the baby in and out since it's rear facing (I have to tilt him sideways and have to be super careful not to bonk his head along the way... and by the way, tilting a 22 lb baby is not easy!). Even with the infant pad removed, there doesn't seem to be enough room around the thighs - it's a tight fit.

I think forward facing with this will be much better.

Great Car Seat!!! - J. Ebel, Apr 09, 2008

My daughter and I love this car seat. It is a very well padded so she is comfortable and of course who doesn't love to put their child in a car seat that you know you can trust with your child's life. Britax has an amazing reputation for safety and that's what counts the most for me.

Simply The Best - Lucy, Apr 08, 2008

Absolutely Great. Super comfortable for baby. My baby started using this car seat at 5 and 1/2 months because she was too heavy for me to carry in the portable carseat. It is great, she falls asleep and her head doesn't slump like in all other seats because of the side support. And in Safety it is the best. Well worth the money, and if you buy it at amazon you can get a great deal and free shipping in most cases. Also it is important that children stay in these car seats as long as possible before transitioning to a booster and with this Britax it is possible because you can keep your child in it up to 65 Pounds, Whereas with other seats it is only up to 40 pounds. Always remember the importance of rear facing as well, lets keep our children as safe as possible while driving go to YouTube and search for - The Importance of Rear-Facing
