BRITAX 360 Degree ProtectionThe BRITAX BOULEVARD 70 CS features technologies that work to minimize injury to your child during a crash from any direction, including both frontal and side impact crashes - the most frequent types of crashes. These technologies work together with other features on the car seat to minimize injury to your child during a crash by:
- keeping your child in the vehicle,
- diverting crash forces away from your child,
- helping to slow down your child's body,
- minimizing movement of your child, and
- protecting your child's brain and spinal cord.

SafeCell Technology for Advanced Head SafetyDesigned with SafeCell Technology, the BOULEVARD 70 CS features SafeCells, which are engineered structures located in the base of the seat designed to compress in the event of a crash. The BOULEVARD 70 CS also features integrated steel bars, which strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce the forward flexing of the car seat. In addition, the energy-absorbing Versa-Tether anchors the top of the car seat and minimizes forward rotation of the car seat to reduce the crash forces that can reach your child if an accident occurs. These three features work together as a system to provide revolutionary head safety protection for your child.
True Side Impact Protection for Advanced Security Offering True Side Impact Protection, the BOULEVARD 70 CS delivers advanced protection if you happen to face an unexpected side-impact crash. True Side Impact Protection is a system composed of a rigid seat shell with deep side walls, an adjustable head restraint, and an extra layer of energy-absorbing EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) foam lining the head restraint. These combined features work together to protect your child's head and chest from incoming side-impact crash forces by distributing the forces over a larger surface area, helping shield your child from vehicle intrusion, contain your child's head and body in the seat, and minimize side-to-side movement of your child's head.
Click & Safe Technology for the Safest FitWhen it comes to children's safety in the car, it's vital that they are properly secured, because loose harness straps can leave them vulnerable to injury during a crash. The BOULEVARD 70 CS assists in the process of securing your child with the Click & Safe Snug Harness Indicator feature, which provides an audible sound when you are tightening the harness to indicate when it is in the range of appropriate snugness.
Premium Fit and Comfort FeaturesWhether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the BOULEVARD 70 CS reclines in both the forward and rear positions. And thanks to additional features, which include high-density comfort foam and a plush cover set with matching belly pad, they'll always ride in style and comfort. A 70-pound weight capacity, two buckle positions, and a tangle-free five-point harness with ten harness-height settings provide a snug, custom fit for your growing child. Plus, an optional Infant Positioning Insert (sold separately) allows you to properly and securely fit smaller infants into the car seat.
Ease-of-Use for Safety and ConveniencePacked with perks for parents, the BOULEVARD 70 CS makes it easy to secure your child in the proper position without the guesswork. Premium lower LATCH connectors make for a quick, simple, and tight installation, while the push-button allows you to easily uninstall the connectors. Easy-to-access built-in lock-offs allow you to install the car seat with ease using your vehicle's lap and shoulder belt. The quick-adjust harness system and buckle allow you to reposition the harness-height without disassembling the harness straps.
Additionally, an anti-slip contoured base grips and protects the vehicle seat, ensuring a tight installation in all types of vehicles. Convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way when you're placing your child in the seat, and the plush cover set with matching pads removes easily for cleaning without requiring you to disassemble or uninstall the car seat.
The BRITAX BOULEVARD 70 CS Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

great for infant or toddler,

This review is from: Britax Boulevard 70 CS Convertible Car Seat (Previous Version), Waverly (Baby Product)
after being rear-ended with my infant and toddler in their old car seats, I was adamant about getting the best car seats available. We were lucky in the accident, if the truck hit us just slightly differently the results would have been very different. I can't even think about what would have happened to my kids in their cheap-old car seats.
So, I bought two of these to replace the old ones. I could not have anticipated the difference in quality and safety of these over the others. they are built bigger, stronger and more resistant to crashes. I have much more peace of mind with them in these.
The adjusting headrest is great for the toddler so her head doesn't get cranked as she sleeps. the 3 month old fits very well in his seat. I was surprised, but it fit him perfectly. The only problem with the young one is that we can no longer pull him out and carry him in the car seat, letting him sleep, like we used to. It is a small price to pay and isn't nearly...Read more

Love this seat,

This review is from: Britax Boulevard 70 CS Convertible Car Seat (Previous Version), Blueprint (Baby Product)
I am a big fan of Britax seats. I have a big gap between my oldest and youngest. So I have used many different car seats and am totally sold on Britax. When I found out the new seats had even more added safety features as well as THIS IS THE BIG NEWS....a cover that is removable without completely uninstalling the seat from the car.......I HAD TO HAVE IT. We moved the other Britax to the other car....the Boulevard CS model from the previous year....and this one went in my car. I liked the old one, but this one is even better. It feels less bulky and feels nice on the bottom with the new added rubber features. I love that you do not have to unthread anything. You just squeeze the handle on the top of the seat and pull or push to make it fit your child.
The most magical part is that when your child makes a huge mess in the seat....all you have to do is pull the cover off and throw it in the washer. I just take a wet wash cloth and wipe down the straps, and just pop...Read more

This review is from: Britax Boulevard 70 CS Convertible Car Seat (Previous Version), Blueprint (Baby Product)
The Britax CS 70 Convertible Car seat has better safety features than the CS 65. It is narrower than the CS 65, so if your kid is on the chubby side this car seat may not be the best option. I purchased the CS 70 due to a car accident. I was rear ended on a red light and my baby was with me at the time. The CS 65 protected my baby and she barely felt the impact. Now with the CS 70 I feel even more secure because of its new safety features, plus my baby seems to like it too; she falls asleep 2 minutes after I seat her on the CS 70. I highly recommend this item
