This is a fabulous car set! You can rest assured your little one is save and secure - and comfortable. It is a big seat for smaller cars. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee and it fit, but was big for that car. I now have an Odyssey and there is more than enough room. Keep this in mind when shopping. But if you want the best, this is the way to go, no questions asked. I purchased the Park Avenue pattern and it is great! Although the pictures on the internet show a greenish/blue color and there is none of that color in the seat, it is mostly gray and tan/khaki - which will match just about any interior out there! I did have concern about the space between the buckle and the back of the seat. My son has been big since the day he was born (1 year old and 27lbs.), but he fits snugly - not too tight or too loose. I think you just have to "break in" the seat so to speak. I hope this helps anyone looking for a car seat!

I have had this car seat for over2 years now and it has held up like new. Before I bought it I did a lot of research on it. It is the only car seat with true side impact protection. It is the only car seat endorsed by the French government (it is German made). The car seat is large, but if you are realy concerned with your child's safety it is the best.

I bought this car seat when my son, almost two, was ready to face forward. It is fabulous. I did tons of research and chose to splurge and purchase the Boulevard. It installs in less than a minute and doesn't budge a single bit. Now with our second due in July, I'm getting the Boulevard to use from birth. I can't imagine putting my children in anything else.

I have a 2 year old who has been in this for 18 months. The carseat looks brand new still. My son loves it. I am about to buy a second one for my 6 month old.

I love this car seat, my son fits great he sits perfect and comfortable, you can see the quality is great...its not a bad price if you think about it because you can use this as infant car seat as well....you'll pay 100 for an infant and about 150 for the toddler so defintley invest in one!!!

This is the best carseat. We only buy britax. It is heavy duty, and I know my son is safer in that seat versus any other brand and type. We have never had a problem with the straps being tangled. In fact, we've never had to remove the straps to adjust it either. All you have to do is turn the knob on the side, and the straps and headrest raise and lower. It is a great seat, definitely worth the $. I only trust Britax for my son's safety in the car.

PLEASE consider this before you read customer reviews and purchase a car seat: I had purchased the Britax Wizard trusting both the Britax name and the independent reviews of various consumer report agencies; however I learned first hand yesterday the credence and invaluable worth of a child's car seat. Like much customer review might indicate, after purchasing our Britax, I found the side impact construction to be restrictive on our son's side window view- this is a minute con. We were struck yesterday head on by a vehicle going at least 50 MPH (which never applied it's breaks), forcing our vehicle to slam into 3 trees on the same side our son was seated in the vehicle, afterward our vehicle flipped on it's side and skidded several feet- again on the same side our son was seated, finally it flipped upside down into a gully were it finally came to a stop. Our son was cut free from his Britax car seat while hanging upside down! A horrific ordeal, yes, HOWEVER, our son was release from the emergency room ONLY HOURS afterwards with minor scratches! The state Troopers said they could only stare at the vehicle in amazement as they examined the 6 inches in clearance between the car seat and the crushed roof and the mangled side! We were told that in all the years of experience the Troopers, fire department, and paramedics had that they never witnessed an accident where the occupants survived such a collision- and indicated that our son should have been the first fatality! The car seat was the key- second to only GOD! PLEASE consider the safety factor over the inconvenient view and reports of a low crotch!!!!!!! Without the side safety protection I would not be writing this review to implore you to purchase wisely- I would be making arrangements for our son's funeral- now our family can go back to planning for his 3rd birthday next week!!!!!!!!! I WILL BE PURCASING ANOTHER BRITAX AS A REPLACEMENT!!!! STAY SAFE!

I LOVE this car seat. My 8 month old son is comfortable riding and sleeping in the seat, and it is easy to install. My one caveat is its size for travel. It is so deep, especially in the rclined position, that I couldn't get the base of it to sit in the airline seat. The base was only halfway on it. It was strapped in, but the result was the seat was so far forward that there was only 2-3 inches between the seat and the tray. That means I could never use the seat to travel with a toddler, because there would be no place for his feet to hang down. I plan to contact Britax about this, because it seems so silly - perhaps I strapped it in incorrectly.

I bought this for my daughter and was beyond pleased! It was easy to install, so much nicer quality than her previous seat, and far more comfortable! When she falls asleep, her head just tilts slightly to the side and I know she's safe and comfortable! No slouching! I plan on buying the exact same one for my daughter due in January!

After doing through research on convertible carseats I determined that this one was the best. It is wonderful, my daughter is so comfortable in it. I wonder after reading other reviews if we are talking about the same carseat, it was easy to install, in the middle of my VW Passat, and my 6'4" husband can still put the seat where he needs it, it is very easy to get her in and out of the car. I am not sure how it hold up in accidents and I hope I never find out, but I hear from others that it's great. Buy this seat...it's well worth the money.

Get this seat right away and don't waste money by first buying other models. We had a travel system with a basket and base - Miriam grew out in no time; then two Britax Roundabout (for 2 cars) - good for 12 months - now the Boulevard -- get the Boulevard right away and keep it until your kid reaches 60 lbs. If you cannot afford it - save somewhere else - not on security; don't even think booster seat - you want the 5 straps! Even the briefest ER visit costs more than the seat! The only real alternatives are: don't drive or don't have kids - seriously. If you have the space in the car you may want to get the Marathon which is even bigger. Eat potatoes for a month - but don't save on the car seat.

First of all, since I could find the information no where, let me say that this seat fits perfectly in the back of a 4dr 2003 Dodge Neon SXT. I was worried because I am 6' tall and it's not a very large car. I can comfortably have my seat back all the way with this car seat facing backward and placed in the middle of the back seat. Nexct thing to say is it really does install in the car in under 10 minutes. I think it took us 10 minutes only because I insisted on reading the directions. Finally, it is very easy to get baby in and out of and she (7 mo. old) appears to enjoy being in it. She had started crying 2 weeks ago when we put her into the infant seat (never did this before) so we bought this. She doesn't cry anymore and I'm sure it's because this seat is so comfortable. We are very happy with this product and will recommend it to everyone we know.

This is the best seat that I have found. Although expensive, I know my child is the safest possible in it. Also, I found the best website for Diapers and Wipes! It is called: diapers.com.

To receive this offer, at checkout, under the box labeled Promotion Code, use the coupon code: RW8161 I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me!

I had a peg perego infant seat until my daughter turned one...I loved it and thought it was the best. Until I installed the new britax..doesn't even move..not even a little bit. It installs in a minute or two..easy easy easy. The safest there is. Spend the money, it's worth it...buying a second one for the other vehicle today.

I bought this seat after doing some research online and reading on consumer report that it was the best one out there. It is a great, however make sure you have the space for it. I have a big SUV and yet I had to install it on the side seat. On the middle seat, it obscure my rearview and make it difficult for side passangers to lock their own seat belts. The base for this seat is very wide.
