Customer Reviews

Great Buy
Our kids seem to be very comfortable riding in these seats. Being that Consumer Reports rates them highest in safety the comfort was a great bonus. They weren't difficult to install and seem to be made of great quality materials and construction. The only set-back for us is that our kids' heads flop forward when they sleep in them, (which is what I hear of all non-infant seats). It would be nice to be able to recline them just another inch but I guess that wouldn't be safe in a collision.

excellent toddler seat
I have Britax Boulevard seats for both my 3-year old and 7-month old. They aren't cheap in price but the convertibility of them from rear facing to forward facing, removable extra pads, etc. means we can use the same seat for each child from infant to booster. The latch system is easy to attach, the pads machine washable, the cushioning is soft for the girls without being too hot in the summer. This is a great chair.

Great car seat, but here are some critiques
Also, in the Altima, it only really fits well in the middle seat - it fits right between the front seats nicely, so they can be reclined to a comfortable degree. The only disadvantage is that now you have to sit down in the back seat to get him in there, and kind of hold him awkwardly to get him in the seat. Makes it really challenging when trying to get them out of there asleep. This is going to be an issue with any seat like this though. I am sure I will figure it out.

Material was terrible!
I have always bought Evenflo carseats for my kids. Each time I kept saying I'll try another because of the knob on the Evenflo's gets stuck sometimes. So I decided to spend the money and buy a Britax since my friends have loved theirs. When it was delievered I opened it up right outside and was ready to install it. When I touched the seat (material)it felt like plastic (seemed easy to clean though) so I left it in the car without installing it and closed the door for a few hours. When I came back the seat was so hot that there was no way I'd put my baby into it. I know seats get hot but this material made it much worse! Needless to say I returned it. Although I have to say if it wasnt for the material I would've liked it!

Good Carseat
However, if I was to purchase again I think I would purchase Sunshine Kids seat that is comprable.
