The Britax Boulevard is a very expensive car seat, and it is not the one that I would want to wrangle from one car to another very often, but it's probably one of the safest car seats currently available on the market. I love that it comes with safety wings which are made of the same padding that goes into motorcycle helmets. You always hope that your child will never be in a car accident, but if he or she is, this is what you want your child to be sitting in.
This car seat is safe for kids who weigh as much as 65 pounds, so although the price tag is a little jaw-dropping at first, it may not be as bad when you realize there is at least one car seat you probably will not need to buy. The wings will provide extra safety in case of an accident, but I'm not sure that all kids will love not being able to see everything around them.
I'm also a big believer in that you can often judge the worth of a company by their level of customer service. I've had a few minor questions about this car seat since we got it, and I was always very pleased with their customer service. The seat itself looks really comfortable, and I don't see how any child would not be comfortable in it. It may not keep your child from crying when you put them in the seat, but at least they will be very comfortable and safe while they're crying.
I am quite happy with this seat, and am planning to buy a second seat for my husband's car as soon as possible. I'll give it 5 stars and am so glad that we invested in this safety seat.
