Will a Britax Boulevard fit on a SW plane?

Leaving tomorrow and deciding whether or not to take it. Preferably rear facing, but we'll put it ffing if that's the only way it'll fit. TIA!

We have used our Roundabout rear-facing on airplanes. It is tight, but workable. I don't know how the two seats compare though.

It should fit since the Boulevard is not an unusually wide seat.

As for RF vs FF, you didn't say how old your child is. If he/she is younger than one, absolutely RF it and tell any FA who disagrees with you that a child younger than 1 rides rear facing in their carseat in a car AND on a plane! If your child is older than 1, I'd encourage you to FF it to make it more pleasant and comfortable for the person in front of your child.

More power to you for being able to travel with the boulevard! I recently changed that seat from rear facing to front facing for dd and it was a workout! To answer your question, it looks as though it would fit on a sw seat.

My daughter is 20 months old and still rear faces in the car. When we recently flew I put her rear facing on the plane. Fortunately there was a child in front of us who never noticed that he couldn't recline his seat. I was dreading deciding how to handle it if there were an adult there. She still rear faces in the car and we really didn't want to forward face her on the plane. I think I would have left her rear facing anyway, but hopefully you will have a child in front of your car seat too so you won't have to worry about it.
