babies on the boulevard
car seat safety– better to have a more custom fit or more side impact protection??
i’m trying to decide between the Britax Decathlon & the Britax Boulevard. they have the same ht & wt requirements, and are very similar.
i’m going to be using the seat from day one with my newborn, (which will probably be above average in size for a newborn–certainly not smaller than average) and trying to weigh the safety of the SIP (Boulevard) vs. the safety of having a more custumizable fit (Decathlon)…
the Decathlon has an adjustable crotch strap & infant posistioning system, as well as having an adjustable fit for older babies.
the Boulevard has more side impact protection & “wings” on the headrest.
anyone know any other differences?
anyone have any experience with either of these?
recommendations?
thanks!
the main thing is– i’m wondering if having a more customizable fit would add to the *all around* safety of the seat, and therefore, may be a better choice than the extra (more specific) protection from *side* impact collisions…
If you can have the car seat installed in the centre of the back seat all the time then you don’t need so much “side-protection” features. They are more important if the child is going to be near the windows.
I would go with the Decathlon if you are going to use it right from birth and always in the centre of the back seat. I think having a good fit is very important. All the Britax seats have excellent safety ratings!
