Britax Boulevard ClickTight

The Britax Blvd ClickTight is a fantastic choice for parents who are looking for a car seat they can expand with. Its rear-facing limit is 40 pounds, which is more than most infant car seats. Furthermore, it can also be used as a forward-facing car seat until your child is 65 pounds.

The ClickTight Installation System is its biggest selling point. It is the most secure, easiest and most secure system available. It allows you to tighten the seat belt by pressing a red release button and pulling on the harness strap and not having to loosen it and re-thread it. This reduces the chance of not tightening correctly the seat belt which is the primary reason for car seat failure.

Another security feature is the EZ-Buckle Pad, which holds the buckle in place when you're putting your child in the car seat. This feature, along with beltpath cutouts along the sides of your child's seat, make it easy to get them into and out of the vehicle.

All three ClickTight convertible seats (Boulevard, Marathon CT, and Advocate CT) have the same features. These include the ClickTight Installation System and an impact-absorbing base that has 7 recline positions, a rip-stitch energy-absorbing tether, HUGS harness pads and a steel-reinforced frame and EPP energy-absorbing foam.

It's a heavy seat, and it could be worth looking at an alternative that is lighter in case you plan to use it frequently for car swaps or traveling. Also, the seat is big, so it may not be suitable for smaller vehicles, especially when it's in the rear of the vehicle.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly seat with the same quality, the Graco 4Ever DLX is a great choice. This seat has lower crash tests scores than the Boulevard however it is still a great option for your child.

The Graco also has LATCH connectors that can be pushed on, which make it easier to uninstall the seat. The LATCH connectors on the Boulevard have a different release mechanism which requires you to press a grey button and pull the webbing to loosen it. It's not easy to accomplish this if the webbing is tight. However, this seat does come with a storage compartment for belt straps when not in use.

The Liing also has a convenient one-handed release that makes it simple to remove from the base and to use with a variety of strollers that are compatible with it. It's also narrow enough to fit three across in several vehicles, and fits well into many convertible car seat as a travel boost.

This infant seat scores a solid 1st place for ease of installation with its unique rigid-LATCH system. Lower anchors of the Liing snap right into the vehicle's lower seat belt slots and the top tether strap snaps into the headrest of the vehicle to create a tight, secure fit that eliminates the possibility of the child being thrown around in an accident.

The seat is light with the base weighting 9 lbs, and the car itself coming in at an easy 10.5 lbs. Other rear-facing seats are heavier in weight, but if you're planning on taking this car seat and its base everywhere it won't be too obvious (especially once you add a child to the mix! ).

Graco Trio Grow SnugLock LX

The Graco Trio Grow SnugLock LX is a 3-in-1 car seat that converts from rear-facing infant, to forward-facing harness, and then to highback booster. It has the SnugLock system which allows for a simple and smooth installation using lower anchors or car seat belts. It also offers the option to use the top tether when in booster mode (although we recommend using the lower anchors at all times to ensure security).

We love that this seat can be used by children of various ages. For infants it comes with an infant insert that assists to help support their necks and backs. This insert can be removed once the child is older, and the seat can be used as a normal car seat for toddlers. This is the few car seats that allow the top tether to be used as a booster. We highly recommend it.

Its base is pretty compact front to back, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a spot for it in the majority of cars. The headrest must be raised to allow the lower anchor webbing to pass through. There's a convenient knob for adjusting the headrest, and the display window indicates the position of the headrest.

One of the most unique features about this seat is the SnugLock installation system that's a bar that is located in the belt path. Installing this car seat with lower anchors is simple and as simple as putting it on the car's seat belt.

The manual also provides an excellent diagram of how to correctly route the lower anchor connectors when traversing them along the new belt path, which can be a bit difficult initially. It's important to keep them out of the crotch buckle loop and away from the chest clip, to ensure they don't interfere with the buckling system.

The Graco Trio Grow is part of the Protect Plus Engineered family, which means it has been subjected to some of the most rigorous crash testing in the world. This includes side, rear and rollover crashes as well as frontal impact tests.
