BRITAX 360 Degree Protection The 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 Safety Designed 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 Fit When 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 Features Whether 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 Convenience Packed 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.

This review is from: Britax Boulevard 70 CS Convertible Car Seat Current Version, Blueprint (Baby Product)
I am glad I chose to go with the Britax Boulevard 70. I thought it might be too big to rear-face in our 2004 Saab 9-3 sedan, but it actually fits great, and we can even use it in the middle position of the backseat. My husband is 6'2" tall, and the driver side seat still goes back far enough for him to drive comfortably. The Boulevard takes up the same amount of space (in the middle seat position) as the Baby Trend infant car seat that baby just outgrew. It's taller, though, so it comes up higher, but I can still see baby in my rearview mirror with the baby mirror we have installed on the seatback. There's just no reaching back from the driver seat to try and put a binky back in baby's mouth anymore. It's a little difficult to get baby into the seat because of the high sides and the fact that it's installed in the middle seat position--but I know he's safer in this seat than in any other, and I feel like he's even safer in the middle of the car. To put him in the seat, I have to get into the backseat while holding him, turn him a little sideways and kind of lift him up and over into the car seat. He's 22 lbs and about 28 inches long. Hard to do when he doesn't want to sit down...but that would be the case with any car seat. There's a little room to grow yet in the rear-facing position...but not a whole lot (although I don't think any seat would be able to offer much more rear-facing room--his feet are just about touching the seatback. The click-n-safe mechanism is supposed to click when the tension in the harness is tight enough, but I find that by the time it clicks, the harness is sooooo tight that my boy is very uncomfortable and whining, so I always end up loosening it a little (only enough to get one finger under the straps). The velcro tabs that hold the harness open are a nice thought, but they don't keep the upper portion of the harness out of the way--unless you completely loosen the straps each time you get baby out, so there's slack to hang over the sides of the car seat. That isn't too inconvenient, I am just used to leaving the straps adjusted for baby, like in the infant seat we had. It's really easy to tighten the straps, though, with an upward tug of the extra strap found near baby's feet. And you adjust the harness shoulder height/head protection with a click of a button and a tug, so it's super easy--no rethreading. I also like that the base of this seat is very streamlined, and there's room for people to still sit in the backseat on either side of the car seat. A lot of the other car seats we considered have HUGE profiles--this seat is remarkably 'petite' for such a high-weight capacity convertible. The seat installed in a matter of minutes with the LATCH system. The Britax Boulevard looks and feels sturdy, and I highly recommend it. I would save money and go without the CS feature, if you know how tight the straps should be adjusted.
