Click & Safe Technology for the Safest FitThe Boulevard CS Convertible Car Seat is ideal for parents concerned with providing proper safety and posture-support for their children during car rides. When it comes to your child's safety in the car, it's vital that they are properly secured. The Boulevard CS assists in the process of securing your child with the Click & Safe snug harness indicator feature, which provides an audible sound when tightening the harness to indicate when it is in the range of appropriate snugness.
True Side Impact Protection for Advanced SecurityOffering True Side Impact Protection, this seat delivers superior protection if you happen to face an unexpected side-impact accident. If such an event takes place, the solid head support and deep side walls work efficiently to distribute crash forces, shield the child from vehicle intrusion, contain the head and body, and keep the head, neck and spine aligned to limit injury.
Superior 360-Degree Protection to Minimize the Risk of InjuryIn addition to True Side Impact Protection, the Boulevard CS offers a range of superior crash force management features to keep your child properly positioned and protected. First, the patented, energy-absorbing Versa-Tether has staged-release tether webbing, anchoring the top of the seat at two points to minimize forward movement. For growing babies, the easy-adjust, tangle-free five-point harness offers infinite harness height adjustments for a snug, custom fit.
For additional protection, the Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGS) reduces forward head movement, while both the EPS foam liner and base are designed to absorb energy and distribute forces in the event of an unexpected impact.
Superior Fit and Comfort FeaturesWhether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the Boulevard CS reclines in both the forward and rear position. With additional features which include high-density comfort foam for extra padding, a plush cover set with a matching belly pad for comfort, and an infant body pillow for a custom fit, they'll always ride in style and comfort.
Superior Ease-of-Use for Safety and ConveniencePacked with perks for parents, the Boulevard CS includes an easy-turn knob that adjusts the headrest and harness height without requiring you to uninstall the seat, and a front harness adjuster allows for easy loosening of the harness. Premium push-button lower LATCH connectors offer a quick, simple, and tight installation, while built-in lock-offs secure the vehicle seat belt so that the car seat does not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.
The Boulevard CS Convertible Car Seat is available in the following patterns: Lauren, Berkshire Tan, Cowmooflage, Davenport, and Spa.
The Britax Boulevard CS Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Britax Quality and Style,
November 23, 2008 The MF "Dogger" (SoCal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Britax Boulevard 65 CS Click & Safe Convertible Car Seat, Lauren (Baby Product)
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

Great seat, but...,
July 24, 2009 Todd A. Linn (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Britax Boulevard 65 CS Click & Safe Convertible Car Seat (Baby Product)
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
