I watched a video that showed reclining the back seat as much as possible if able and moving the front seat forward as much as possible and then installing the seat. So you stand in the car with your belly against the back of the car seat pushing in while clicking the seat belt and pushing down on the seat, then bring the back seat back up into the upright position. I get a rock solid install every single time doing it that way. It’s amazing. I will never use latch with these seats bc the clicktight seatbelt installation is so so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788516 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 18:37:31 +0000 gotkimchi 2788516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: yah no way I would use latch that’s the best part about clicktight!</p> <p>ETA my husband and I both agree we will only buy clicktight from now on it is absolutely worth the money and has literally made moving car seats beyond painless </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788515 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 18:34:29 +0000 meadow 2788515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha....took our first trip to the grocery store this afternoon........no way!!! I had to lower DS from above the headrest.....hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788474 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 13:39:01 +0000 catgirl 2788474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: I would be very hesitant to install with the latch with the clicktight seats. They were designed specifically for easy seat belt install and only included lower anchors because they were legally required to. It is very easy to damage the clicktight panel when uninstalling if you have used the latch. </p> <p>@SweetiePie: I think it's more that whatever setting you pick it will look more reclined before it's tightened. That's pretty common of all seats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788473 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 13:09:37 +0000 MamaBear87 2788473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have a click tight Boulevard. Install always alters the recline a bit because the seat slopes. </p> <p>I'd pull them out and adjust the incline if you think your littles will be uncomfortable. Make sure the level bubble thing is at the correct area for a toddler. And I would install with the seatbelt, it's insanely easy and zero reason to use the harder install with the latch in my opinion. The easy seatbelt install was one of the huge reasons I went with this seat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788471 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 12:45:17 +0000 SweetiePie 2788471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: Maybe I’m wrong or misunderstanding but I don’t think how tight the install is should impact how upright the seat is, especially if it’s an adjustable incline.<br /> Like if the install is changing the incline, I would wonder if it’s correct?</p> <p>Full disclosure I am far from a car seat expert aside from installing ours over and over. Maybe post a pic? Or ask car seats for Little’s on Facebook? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788470 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 12:22:27 +0000 meadow 2788470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: thanks! We installed LATCH since kiddos are &lt;25lbs. Good point about the head bob! Haha</p> <p>We'll give it a try this week and see how it is to put them in I guess.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788459 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 08:27:18 +0000 petitenoisette 2788459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and if you have them super upright any time they fall asleep in the car their heads will fall straight forward which always looks so sad and uncomfortable to me! Might as well have them more reclined to prevent that since you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788458 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 08:23:43 +0000 petitenoisette 2788458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: I would definitely fix it since it's a clicktight! Shouldn't be too tough. Make sure you unbuckle the seat belt before trying to turn the dial, it's much easier that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788456 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 06:49:56 +0000 catgirl 2788456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: Okay, so 7 recline options. As long as the indicator is in the rear facing section you are fine, and for an 18 month old it can definitely be pretty upright - but it doesn't have to be upright. It's all about preference, what your kid likes, and how much space you want to seat to take up in the car. Before installing always recline more than you think you will need because installation will make it change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788455 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 06:45:31 +0000 meadow 2788455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: clicktight......so yes many options. We had it in tbe middle, then all the tightening made it fully upright. DH said leave it &amp; I think it seems too upright.....</p> <p>We have to redo the install to change the recline, so looking for input before in push the issue....haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788454 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 06:40:25 +0000 catgirl 2788454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: do you have the G4 or clicktight boulevard? The clicktight a have a ton of recline options so very easy to change. The G4 only has one rear facing recline (and two forward facing). If it's a G4 I would make sure it is on the rear facing recline - which is position 3. If it's on the right setting try to install while pushing where lo's bottom would go, that can manipulate the seat a bit. But it will still be relatively upright, especially depending on the slope of your seats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-install-for-18-month-old#post-2788452 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 06:07:59 +0000 meadow 2788452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We installed our britax boulevard car seats last night .... rear facing. They are basically vertical, bo recline. My husband says that's right because the twins are toddlers. I think it just looks really awkward and that it will be hard to buckle them in.</p> <p>Any advice from others who use this car seat? Thanks!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-board-for-britax-b-agile-options#post-2603892 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 07:44:30 +0000 Mrswonderwoman 2603892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Britax B Agile stroller, and I *think* I want to get a glider board for my 3.5 year old (we also have an 8 month old). We like to go on walks and explore the city, and our oldest is good for a while, but he gets a bit whiney and complains about walking sometimes, so I'm wondering if this might help. I see that there's a specific Britax version of the glider board -- is that my only option? Can I use a different brand? Anyone have experience with glider boards for this stroller that can give me tips? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002953 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 16:34:50 +0000 Corduroy 2002953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the B Agile and I like it. I wish it handled uneven pavement a little better. Our sidewalks are terrible and sporadic and until I got my walking route perfected I got stuck a lot (so LO got jerked forward a lot). I posted about it on here before and nobody seemed to echo the issue so it may just be the way I push. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002821 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:10:11 +0000 Littlebit 2002821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and love it! It's great. My husband originally didn't want to get it because he thought it was too expensive, but he loves it now. Our only complaint is the basket - it's pretty small. I usually end up hanging the diaper bag over the handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002812 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:03:51 +0000 snowjewelz 2002812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have it! I haven't used it yet but was to<br /> recommended to me.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002795 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:56:42 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2002795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: haha me too its ok ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002786 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:53:58 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2002786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: thank you so much! YES I got a jogger from someone and it is such a pain that I never use it! OK I'm totally gonna not care and use my Britax! I mean seriously, I'm not a fast runner by any means. More like... trudger. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002778 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:50:45 +0000 BeachMama 2002778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like our b agile. My only gripe is the basket is small and hard to get stuff in/out of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002736 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:29:21 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2002736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: people will always find things to judge! But I went running with a friend who had a jogging stroller and she struggled with hers the whole time while I was able to hold on and steer with one hand....so I don't care ;) at my fastest I'm a 12 minute mile, so you should be fine! I wouldn't use it on any unpaved surfaces but it's great on paved trails and the sidewalk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002667 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 13:54:18 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2002667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: Oh that's great to see that you jog with it!!! I am thinking of starting to jog again (gah. 20-minute-mile I bet) and wasn't sure about jogging with mine. Another concern, and very stupid: I'm so scared of getting "judged" like "oh, that's not a real jogger"... that's just in my head right?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002084 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:03:36 +0000 ktdid23 2002084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: @Rocker2014: @Sapphiresun: @wheres_c: Thank you so much for chiming in! I am super excited to order one now!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2002083 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:02:50 +0000 ktdid23 2002083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: wow that is awesome! I'm glad it stands up to long walks on paved surfaces; again, the BOB was amazing but I'm thinking it'll be way to big to maneuver myself with 2 kids. So glad to hear you love your B-Agile!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2001971 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 07:12:27 +0000 Ash 2001971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love ours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2001945 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 06:09:27 +0000 Rocker2014 2001945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto what everyone else said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2001939 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 05:29:35 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2001939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love ours! I use it to jog on paved surfaces and it probably gotten 2-4 miles worth of road time every day until a few months ago when I had to stop walking due to pregnancy. Ours is well loved but still works perfectly and we will be saving it for when we are done with the double for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2001898 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 01:17:48 +0000 Sapphiresun 2001898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the b-agile and it's great. Fits easily in my Yaris, and is easy to handle. The only thing so far that it's not great for is walking in the snow, but I think that's a lot to ask of any stroller without a ski attachment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-agile-stroller#post-2001853 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 23:47:49 +0000 wheres_c 2001853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto!
