OT - Britax Carseats

[coconutsunshine]

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of deciding which car seat to buy and we've decided on a Britax but are still debating between the Diplomat and the Boulevard, anyone with any advice???

While I don't know much about the Diplomat or the Boulevard, we own the Marathon and LOVE it! It is so much better than the safety first seat we have or the Eddie Bauer. We will definitely buy another Britax for our YDD soon!

I think part of the decision is how long you plan to use the seat (Diplomat is rated 5-40 lbs while Boulevard is 5-65 lbs). We will not switch to booster seats until kids outgrow weight/height limits of their car seats.

We don't own either but have a Marathon and Advocate. Both have been great (easy to install, seat covers removable for cleaning, harness is easy to adjust and use). We love the infant hugging features of Advocate (Diplomat & Boulevard) for DD who is on the small side.

Click Safe is an optional feature we don't find very useful (it's a metal plate that clicks when properly tightened).
