Britax Boulevard 70 Review and Winter Travel Event

Britax is one of the best know car seat brands available and has been for years. The Boulevard 70 is a convertible car seat that holds babies from 5-40lbs in a rear facing position and children from 20lbs (at 1 year of age) to 70lbs or 49" tall.

I personally have one in my car, and it is the easiest of the three different convertible car seats our family owns to install. My son is tall for his age and is very comfortable in it (more so than in the other two seats, his escape attempts are far fewer and never successful in this seat). Unlike with our other seats, this car seat has never damaged the surface of the seat below it. The cover stays on well and the recline is suitable for even my tall toddler, boosting him enough to see out the window. When we replace the unmentionable second car seat, we will be getting another Boulevard. I definitely recommend a Convertible Car Seat Child Cup Holder or two, sold separately, to hold your kiddos drink and snack in the car.

This car seat has many safety features, including:
- SafeCell™ Technology - significantly lowering the center of gravity and counteracting the forward rotation of the child seat which normally propels the child toward the front seat
- Integrated Steel Bars - strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce forward flexing of the child seat during a crash.
- Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether® - staged-release tether webbing to slow the forward movement, reducing the crash forces reaching the child, and a two-point attachment to minimize forward rotation while anchoring the top of the child seat
- True Side Impact Protection - offers a head restraint creating an extra layer of energy-absorbing EPP foam, keeping the head, neck and spine “in true” or aligned, and deep side walls lined with EPP foam to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, and contain the head, neck and body
- Tangle-Free, Five-Point Harness - distributes crash forces across the strongest parts of the body and provides a secure fit
- Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGS™) - provides resistance to forward movement in the event of a crash


Other great features:
- High Density Comfort Foam provides an extra layer of padding to gently cushion your child
- Plush, Easy-Remove Cover with matching comfort pads and infant body pillow to provide extra comfort and easy cleaning without disassembling or uninstalling the child seat
- Two Buckle Positions for your growing child
- Infant Positioning Insert may be necessary for small infants to achieve a snug fit of the harness around your child (sold separately)
- Quick-Adjust, No-Rethread Harness repositions the harness shoulder height without disassembling the harness straps
- Premium Lower LATCH Connectors for a quick and simple installation featuring a push button for easy release
- Built-in Lock-Offs ensure a snug lap and shoulder belt installation with minimal effort
- Anti-Slip, Contoured Base grips and protects the vehicle seat while offering optimum vehicle fit
- Convenient Harness Holders keep harness straps out of the way when placing your child in the car seat
- Certified for Aircraft Travel
- Made in the USA with global components

Exclusive Britax Event & Sale at Goore's

At Goore’s we’re proud to be a Britax dealer and offer our customers some of the safest car seats on the market. Choosing a car seat for your baby is one of the most important decisions you’ll make; after all, your child’s safety is at stake. I hope not a single one of our customers ever has to put her car seat to the test, but unfortunately, accidents happen more often than we like.

So while we’re excited about new fashions in car seats that look pretty and stand up to wear and tear, we also want to make sure that our customers remember that ultimately, a car seat is a safety purchase, and we want you to understand the ins and outs of what makes a car seat work, and how one model is different from another.

That’s why we’re holding a Britax Information and Sale event on Saturday, July 11th. & Sunday, July 12th. In addition to our own highly trained gear employees, we’ll have representatives on-hand from Britax giving demonstrations, explaining the engineering, and answering all of your questions -- because there’s no one who knows the product better than the folks who make it. We’ll have an exclusive sneak preview of some of the new Britax items such as the Parkway SG and/or the Blink Stroller. You can also get a first look at their other new products now in stock including the Advocate car seat — the ultimate in safety engineering – and the Chaperone infant car seat.

After you get all your information, take advantage of multiple special offers from Goore’s and Britax. Goore’s is offering an exclusive sale during the event on all Britax products, where you can save up to $60 off your Britax purchase. Customers purchasing both the Chaperone stroller and Chaperone infant seat in store and online, http://www.goores.com/, will receive $100 back from Britax. Additionally, to celebrate, we’ll be raffling off both a Marathon car seat and an Advocate car seat after the event to customers who sign up for the raffle in store. Winners can choose any available pattern.

So if you’re in the market for a car seat, you’ll want to stop by on Saturday, July 11th or Sunday, July 12th to take a look up close at the new Britax models, and educate yourself on one of the most important purchases you’ll make for your baby.

This is one of the coolest strollers I have seen in a couple years. The Peg Perego Skate. Accomodates the Primo Viaggio Infant Car Seat. Stroller includes bassinet and stroller seat that can be positioned either facing you or the world outside. For all thre there is a 3 level height adjustment. Nice, plush new fabrics. More info to come on this one!

Great new booster from Sunshine Kids. Goes from 30 to 100 lbs. Can accomodate a child over 5' tall. The shoulder area can be adjusted 3" wider with the turn of the dial on the back. Utilizes latch for stronger installation and can be tightened from the front of the seat. This one won't be arriving until early 2008.

Just a sampling of the really cool stuff from day one. Stay tuned fro more tomorrow.
