Hellobee Boards

I've used both! While I prefer the Boulevard, it is a BEAST. My husband (over 6 feet) can't drive with it behind his seat. I believe it's 3 inches deeper than the Graco, which makes a huge difference. I ultimately prefer the Boulevard (mainly because of clicktight), but I personally would go to a store that has both and try installing them in your car to see which works best. Feature wise (other than clicktight) there isn't much difference - it's going to be a question of comfort. Even with the seat on the passenger side (I still use it), my passenger's seat is fairly uncomfortably close to the dash.

I have a britax, but I don't think it's a boulevard for an "emergency" carseat incase my parents or sister has to come get my son or whatever and I hate the latch straps on it.

Like I said in the other thread the 4evers are fantastic and I like the no thread adjustment. (The britax was a close friend's of mine's seat so it's almost to it's expiration date, and I hate rethreading straps.) The graco installs easily. The one thing I don't like is the tether strap doesn't split around the headrest so I have a permadent in my headrest on my car.

@MaryM: Ha! I guess I'm now a seasoned carseat user and unless you are talking seatbelt install I think nothing of doing that. Our son rear faced until 3+ so I think it is not absurd to go try installs! This is a long term commitment!

@kiddosc: ha, sorry for the typo. I think it's more because of width than depth, though?

@kiddosc: Ha, no! I mean the carseat is like having a sasquatch sitting behind you.

We have the Britax, and my mom recently got the Graco to keep in her car for my son. The Britax feels so much easier to use in every way. I don't know how much of that is because we're used to it, but we hardcore struggled to get the Graco installed in my mom's car and get a good fit. Like @LBee mentioned though - the Britax is HUGE!
