We absolutely LOVE this seat, and so does our now 14-month-old son! We originally bought it because it was recommended by Consumer Reports, and our son had gotten too tall to be rear-facing any longer. It is pricey, but we are so glad that we spent the money for this superior seat! The Sure-Latch system is awesome...it tightens down really well and installs quickly and easily! The padding on the sides is great, too...our son rarely slept in our old carseat because he could not comfortably lean his head to the side, but this seat has plush pillow-like sides that extend out further, and he can now comfortably snuggle up the the side supports and drift off to sleep. If I were forced to come up with a negative feature, the only thing I can think of is that this is quite a large seat and would probably not fit well in smaller cars.

I have two different car seats - one for each car - and I'm comparing the Britax Boulevard 70 with the Evenflo Momentum, and I like the Momentum much better. (and it's about HALF the price!) Of course ALL car seats (not just the pricey ones) meet stringent safety requirements and undergo the same government testing, so reviews that suggest some are safer than others are basically just guessing.

What I like about the Britax:
- nice looking fabric
- steel frame
- relatively slim size
- easy to adjust height of straps (but not as easy as the Momentum)
- easy front facing belt or latch installation (but latch system on Momentum is much better)

What I don't like about the Britax:
-straps tangle easily
-not a very cushy seat/padding
-difficult to install rear facing
-cover slides off the top and has to be pulled back on every so often
These are small flaws. It's a great seat. BUT - these flaws make the extra cost seem... Read more

This seat is built like a tank and easy to use... I love the quick latch system. If NASA was going to send a 14 month old to the moon they would probably use this car seat.
