Is the Britax Boulevard ClickTight Convertible Car Seat worth it?

Yes, for the right buyer. The Britax Boulevard ClickTight Convertible Car Seat ranks #2 in our Best Convertible Car Seats list. Its biggest strength: one seat that goes from newborn to booster years, no need to buy a second convertible seat later. The main caveat: 5-pound minimum means it will not fit the smallest newborns or preemies.

Overview

What the Britax Boulevard ClickTight Convertible Car Seat does well

Best premium convertible pick. What earns it a place here: clickTight install is widely considered one of the easiest convertible seats to install tightly and correctly and click & Safe indicator confirms harness snugness without guesswork. The tradeoff: does not convert to a booster mode, so a separate booster is needed later.

Best convertible pick for tight back seats. What earns it a place here: clickTight's belt-path install often seats the seat flatter against the vehicle seat than LATCH-only installs and narrower shell than many convertible seats with comparable side impact protection. The tradeoff: still one of the deeper convertible seats when reclined for rear-facing.

Head-to-head

Buying advice: car seats

  1. Infant seats are rear-facing only and portable. Convertible seats go rear-facing then forward-facing. All-in-one seats add booster mode. Boosters are for older children who have outgrown a harness.
  2. Experts recommend keeping children rear-facing as long as the seat allows. Higher rear-facing weight and height limits let you do that for longer.
  3. Look for clear level indicators and lock-offs or tensioning systems that make a tight install easier. A seat that is hard to install is more likely to be installed wrong.
  4. Measure the back seat, especially for compact cars or three-across setups. Rear-facing seats can push front seats forward.
  5. Car seats expire, usually 6 to 10 years from manufacture. Check the date and never use a seat that has been in a moderate or severe crash.

What does a convertible car seat mean?

A convertible car seat converts between rear-facing and forward-facing orientations in the same shell, unlike an infant seat that only rear-faces and detaches from a base. Some convertible seats, like the Graco 4Ever DLX, also convert into a highback and then backless booster, which is why they are sometimes called all-in-one or 4-in-1 seats.

At what age should a child switch from rear-facing to forward-facing?

There is no single age. Pediatric safety groups recommend keeping a child rear-facing until they reach the seat's maximum rear-facing height or weight limit, which for the seats in this list is 40 pounds. Many toddlers reach that weight limit well after age 2, which is why current guidance emphasizes the seat's limits over a fixed birthday.
