LOVE this car seat! Both my girls have one and we love that it is rated one of the top safest car seats, so light weight, easy to take in and out of the car. I also love that we are pretty compact and are not taking up the entire back seat!

A hard pass for us
August 6, 2023
It is very easy to install; however AFTER i purchased it I found the crash test ratings to be sub par (easy to find online) compared to other seats. Was really disappointed and the thing is heavy as heck so didn't attempt to return. As well I sent a note to britax and never heard back.

ALSO the wife hated the fact that there is basically NO padding for the back. I actually wondered if something was missing. Just very thin cloth that seems massively uncomfortable given the hard plastic.

Looks good, easy to install (terrible instruction booklet)... but i don't care about any of that... i care about protection. For me, it was a waste of money and we are replacing it with a cleck foonf... we used a liing for early on and felt safe doing that.
Pros
  • Looks good, easy to install, fool proof
Best Uses
  • a heavy door stop
Cons
  • sub par saftey ratings compared to others, no padding on kiddos back... seems uncomfortable at best and dangerous at worst.

Solid seat that’s easy to use and installs easily
June 12, 2023
We purchased this seat in February 2021 for our then-2-year-old grandson to use when riding with us. We also bought the anti-rebound bar, as it was sold separately.

We’ve been very happy with this seat. It installs very snug rear-facing (the only way we have used) in our Toyota Highlander, and we use a Britax seat protector mat and Britax mirror with it to keep an eye on our 2-year-old granddaughter. (We purchased a One4Life when she was born, which her brother promptly claimed as his seat).

I really like the features of this seat. The only small issue I have between stretches when I use it is that the harness release button is sort of inside the seat itself and is NOT the clicktight release mechanism. I think since it’s visible, it’s where my hand wants to go. Thankfully it must be turner and not pushed, so I don’t inadvertently uninstall the seat.

(First and second pics show rear-facing installation with accessories mentioned, third pic is the harness release lever being depressed in relation to the clicktight opening mechanism.)

Pros
  • Relatively lightweight for a Britax
  • Harness length allows for it to be pulled well to the side for ease getting child in and out.
  • Anti-rebound bar available as add-on accessory.
Cons
  • Potential for visual confusion with clicktight mechanism and harness release.

Nice car seat for a decent price

This is a nice car seat, I like the clean comfort fabric look and feel, and I really appreciate the anti rebound bar. I was surprised that this model didn’t come with the plastic harness cushions, at first I thought that was a mistake but if you look closely at the photos, they are not shown. This seat seems to have nice safety features and I certainly hope it would perform well in an accident.

We love this car seat! We've used it from 6 months to 2 years old now. We'll continue using it until our daughter reaches her height/weight limits. Only downside we see so far is the lack of a cup holder. The anti-rebound bar is a great added safety feature. The seat is super easy to adjust as she grows taller. We absolutely LOVE the clicktight feature. Installing it in the car is a Breeze and stress free.

Safe, comfortable, easy to use!
July 1, 2022
I have always used Britax seats with my three kids because of the high quality structural components inside the seats. Ultimately, no car seat is worth buying if it's not going to protect them.

The additional elements that make this seat a winner for me include the color of the casing (white) that makes the backseat look less like a black hole of toys and other objects. I strongly avoided all black car seats because of that. I like the material of the gray seat cushion and my toddler has been using this since babyhood in comfort.

The anti-rebound bar is also a must for all rear-facing seats. This is a standard safety feature in Europe where child vehicle fatalities are much lower and was a key reason I chose this seat for our youngest. When our older toy were infants, it was almost impossible to find car seats sold in the US market that had this feature. However, I think that now all parents should be looking to find a seat that offers this feature.
Pros
  • Lots of attractive color options
  • Anti-rebound bar is a safety must
  • Extended rear-facing for 4 years
  • Large and comfy without taking over the back seat
Best Uses
  • Best for the main family car
Cons
  • Heavy and difficult for some to move

Sleek Looking/High Safety Seat

Love the safety ratings. Very sleek looking seats. Hard to pull front strap to tighten however which would be reason for 4/5 stars.

Seems safe, easy to use
June 24, 2022
After obsessively reading reviews, decided this is the seat to go with. My daughter likes it overall. The only caveat is that because the sides are so large in the interest of head protection, for some cars when the seat is rear facing, it leaves little space to slip the child into the seat between the door opening and car seat. So If you have a car with a door opening on an angle, in my case an Audi Q3, it may pose a slight issue.
Pros
  • Best rated for safety, on sale price is reasonable
Cons
  • Perhaps excessively large head protective area making it harder to put a child into the seat in certain vehicle types. Wider than seats suck as Clek

Great Convertible Seat

I was able to get this car seat on a great deal from Albee. Obviously I choose it because it is one of the top rated car seats. on the market. The seat and big and sturdy. Well made and quite nice looking. sits very adjustable and my 9 month old sits well inside of it. Dare I say I like it more than his Nuna Pipa? The fabric is nice and looks like it will hold up to future washes. A bit confusing to install (first time installing a seat myself) but there are lots of resources for troubleshooting on the Britaxnl website. So far so good with this purchase!

Great seat, the clicktight system is as easy as all the reviews say. My only complain is how hard it is to pull the harness tight using the bottom strap; my wife has trouble doing it which is not ideal in situations when she's the only one in the car with the kid.

Fantastic car seat
April 6, 2022
Great car seat! I wanted a steel frame car seat for my daughter to transition out of once she maxed out of her infant seat. We had a Britax B-Safe Ultra and LOVED it. We are a huge fan of all things Britax. The ClickTight feature is fantastic. Super easy to install and get a secure install. We did have to adjust the harness to make it shorter because it was hard to get a proper fit with all the scars fabric, once we did that (it was very easy to do) it made the world of a difference in getting her buckled in easily. It fits perfectly in my husbands 2021 Toyota Tacoma (middle seat install) and my 2021 Toyota Highlander.
Pros
  • Easy installation
  • Easy to clean fabric
  • Superior safety features
Cons
  • Heavy

My 8 month old was to heavy for me to carry in his Britax baby car seat. Being a fan of Britax for durability, safety and made in USA; my search for a convertible car seat began. This car seat is a perfect fit in my Ford Edge. The tick tight installation could not be any easier and I’ve installed other seats that are latch connected, which can be very frustrating.
Favorite feature is the shoulder and crotch straps stay out of the way while you put the child in the car seat. No more digging your hand around a wiggly baby, straightening a strap. This seat is a 10 and Albebaby had the best price so put it in your cart.

I like this car seat. We originally had the Britax Bsafe infant seat and got this when my LO outgrew it. Very easy to install, however the harness straps are a little hard to tighten and loosen at first. They also don’t seem to fit as well as I would like, I think my LO’s shoulders are a little too narrow right now. But overall happy with this purchase, I think it will last us a long time!

  • Britax has great customer service

It’s only Britax for me
October 19, 2021
Dang! This car seat was incredibly easy to install. I’ve only used britax fkr my kids because of their high crash test safety ratings but add in the fact that this is the simplest car seat installation I’ve ever used and this product is a 5 star for me. It’s a very secure install with a comfortable seat. I love that we can change the incline as my little one grows. I had this car seat 9 years ago for my oldest (and I raved about it then) and they’ve only improved the design. More user friendly, more features (optional safety bar, optional cup holder, incline options), greater stain resisting fabric and same great safety rating. Take my word for it or go ahead and do your research, you’ll end up back here anyway: Albee baby delivered a great product in a quick delivery.

Great Knowing Your Carseat is Installed Correctly - Everytime!
July 12, 2021
I am very pleased with the Britax Boulevard Click Tight car seat. It installed very easily and is very tight. With the click tight feature, the car seat doesn't budge. I also appreciate the added safety provided by the anti-rebound bar.
We have a 20 month old rear facing and they seem quite comfortable and happy in it. My older child spilled milk on the car seat and I was able to just brush it off with my hand thanks to the Nanotex material.

Easy for travel - not my favorite for every day
May 30, 2021
This is by far the easiest car seat I’ve found to install and remove. Seriously 2 steps and takes 30 seconds - anyone can do it. We use it for travel and for having on hand to swap in and out of cars (Nanny’s, grandparents who are visiting etc.)
However it isn’t the MOST comfortable for my toddlers and feels a little wobbly (much prefer our Cybex for comfort and safety features). We don’t use it for long road trips and it isn’t our main everyday one. But if you need a convertible car seat that is a dream to install and easy for anyone to figure out, this is a great option.

Couldn’t be easier!
May 28, 2021
The seat couldn’t be any easier to install, which is exactly why I bought it. We’re a Britax family, and this seat doesn’t disappoint. The fabric is soft, not scratchy like I expected it to be with the water-resistant fabric. my only complaint about this chair is how unsure I feel about how I installed the anti-rebound bar. I know it isn’t considered locked in until the click-tight is closed, but even with the click-tight closed it wobbles. I’m sure that’s by design, and I’ve watched YouTube videos to make sure it’s installed correctly, but it doesn’t FEEL right.
Pros
  • easy to install, soft fabric, good recline range
Cons
  • Flimsy rebound bar install

Easy Install, Comfy for Baby
April 22, 2021
Headline says it all. It is so easy to install, which means I don't have to worry about it and if I have to reinstall it to change the recline, I don't have to worry about that either. My daughter is so happy to be in it. The recline options are many which is great for my growing child who gets more mature every day. So far, I can't say anything about how easy it is to clean but our first road trip is coming up next month and I'm hoping it lives up to the hype.

It is super heavy, but it's no surprise, that's listed in the details. We don't plan to move it often so the weight shouldn't make much of a difference. Hope to use it for many years to come!

The Britax Boulevard Clicktight is super simple to install! I bought this car seat for my parents’ vehicles as they switch the car seat between the two vehicles frequently; however, they could never install their previous car seat correctly. They would show up to pick up my toddler and it would always be too loose, installed incorrectly, or not even installed at all because they couldn’t figure it out and then I would spend 10-15 minutes trying to install it for them. The purchase of this car seat has completely eliminated that problem. It takes less than two minutes to install! Not only is the installation a breeze, but this seat is very sturdy which makes me feel like my child is well-protected. My child also seems very comfortable in this seat.
Pros
  • Easy to install
  • Sturdy

This car seat is excellent. Super easy to install with a seat belt. I didn’t bother trying with latch as instructions say seatbelt is the preferred method of install. Click tight is the best. The only difficulty is closing the car seat click
Right when car seat is in the car. You really have to force it down and it’s really heavy but this is not going to be a car seat that gets transferred between cars so it isn’t a big deal.

So easy
January 27, 2021
Super easy to install. I have weak hands and it’s often difficult for me to unlatch or latch lower anchors. The clicktight system lets me bypass this issue totally. We traditionally keep 2 seats for each child because it’s so annoying to have to uninstall and reinstall them, however, we may not even need a second one anymore. After 9 years of parenthood, I can confidently install a seat without my husband’s help.
Pros
  • Easy to install and uninstall.
Cons
  • Does not come with a cup holder and the official Britax cup holder has terrible reviews as far as coming detached and letting things spill.

Great seat!
January 25, 2021
My son had gotten sick a few times in his old seat. It was very difficult to clean, so I took a leap and bought a new seat. The nanotechnology fabric really sold me for a kid who gets carsick. The seat itself it beautifully made. It’s easy to install, there’s a bit of a learning curve but once you figure it out it’s easy. The seat it’s pretty bulky and very heavy, but in my opinion that’s great! It tells me my kids are safe. After buying this seat we decided to purchase a second for our baby on the way. They fit great in my midsize suv.
