$ Britax 2008 Boulevard



Seat works great. Especially like the "quick release" LATCH connectors. Our last seat just had the clips and it would take 10-15 minutes per clip to get them disconnected when we needed to move the seat. These its just the push of a button just like a seat belt to get the connector loose (they are always out of reach of the child as well). The shoulder height adjustment is good too. You just twist a knob to slide the shoulder straps and side impact protection up and down to fit your kid. The latch to loosen the straps is much better than our last seat as well. Although, I saw a better designed one when we were looking that had a side mounted knob to loosen or tighten the straps. The design on this seat is more of the conventional type with a pull strap in between the kids legs and a loosening latch just below the seat covers, but its operation is far better than average for the seats we tried out. The only things that are kind of a bother are the weight of the seat and the lack of a good level indicator. It's by far not the heaviest seat we saw, but it is still a bit heavy to move from vehicle to vehicle. Also, the seat's only leveling indicator is a line on the side of the seat you are somehow supposed to step back and make sure it is parallel to the ground. Our last seat had an actual level riveted to the side of the seat frame that was much easier and "dummy proof" on leveling the seat. For something that all the manuals and experts stress as so important, you'd think they could put a better device on it.
