 Too Big for most carsJun 02, 2008
This car seat has a bounce rod on the back which makes it too big to fit in most of the cars. I was advised by the Plano Police Car Seat Inspections to return it

 I will not own any other brand!!!!! Apr 18, 2008
I was about 3 months pregnant when my co-worker forwarded me a youtube video on defective car seats. She had a 2 year old at the time and was looking into buying a new one. Ironically, someone emailed her the video link the day she decided to browse for them. It was one of the saddest story I had seen in a long time! A little boy was killed because of a defective car seat. After the parents did research on many, many name brands, Britax was about the safest one around. They wanted to warn other parents in memory of their baby boy. They also set up a car seat donation list for parents who could not afford to buy one. After doing my own research, I very pleased & decided to get one as time got closer for our baby girl's arrival. Little did I know, my co-workers threw us a baby shower and bought it for us. I have absolutely no complaints! Its very sturdy and I feel very confidant that we have her in it. I would certainly recommend it to any, and everyone! It is very pricey, but well worth it. You can't put a price on your children! The best thing anyone can do for a friend or family member that is expecting, is to all go in halves to make sure their loved ones are riding safe! Here is the link! Hope all of you guys searching will take a look at this video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ-5SBT8_1o

Great Car SeatApr 07, 2008
I really like this car seat. The head rest especially. It really holds a newborns head in place. It does get in the way a little when you are putting the straps on the baby's arms, but not enough to not love the car seat. I especially love the color for my little girl. All the pink car seats seem to get really dirty quickly. This color hides all the stains. The five point harness is also an easy way to put the baby in and out. It is very easy to get in and out of the base. I really recommend this car seat.

GREAT CAR SEAT!!!Mar 01, 2008
We have both the Boulevard and the Companion and both of them have their advantage and disadvantage.
Yes, the seat is heavy and I do feel that it is a safe seat. It is a perfect fit for an infant as well as a carry all. I have not had any problems with the shade as it works keeping the sun away. The cover is easy to clean as well as the material under the cover.
The price for the seats differ based upon the style of the cover. If the cover is a newly released style, then the price will be higher. Older styles are lower but from my understanding the seats are the same. Therefore, you might be paying a higher price for a certain pattern and not the workmanship of the car seat which is more important. If you like a certain style of covering you can always purchase an extra seat cover of the style of your choice. Certain stores have certain patterns as all vendors do not carry the same patterns but again it is the seat cover that is the difference in the cost of the different car seats. Before you purchase the car seat and you want to be certain that the workmanship has not changed, call customer service. They helped me and I am sure that they will help you as well.
We did not have a problem with the baby getting too hot nor did we have problems with his head tilting as it was a perfect fit. Other than the strap tangling, we have not had any problems with the car seat.
My problem with the car seat is the straps. The straps are not tangle free as they are on the Boulevard. If they were to add those straps to this car seat, then it would be a winner and that is why I gave it four stars.
However, I believe the car seat is a good and safe seat regardless of the hassles. If I had to do it over again, knowing what I know, I would still purchase this car seat. It is a winner even though trying to keep the straps straight wore us out.

High quality car seatDec 29, 2007
Robust and well constructed, this carseat is top quality. We did have an issue with the head support during the first few weeks of use. It proved to be quite big for my son when he was a newborn. We had to pad the sides so that his head won't tilt sideways. This didn't last too long though since my boy grew big quickly and the head support now fits snugly.
We got the onyx color which on hindsight was probably not a great idea for our baby who gets hot easily. There are many times when we'd pull him out after a car ride sweaty at the back and behind his head. If you have a hot baby, we suggest getting a lighter color.
Other than these 2 issues, we have been VERY happy with this product.
