Our 7th Britax seat, and certainly won't be the last!
This is the 7th Britax seat we've purchased over the years for our 5 children. We've had our 2 year old in the Boulevard 70-G3 since birth and have loved it, so when the clicktight seats hit the market AND we were expecting another child, we were very interested.
I hemmed and hawed over this purchase for months because of the significant increase in price over the non-CT models, after the recall earlier this year, and after reading review after review with various complaints. I was mostly concerned about the complaints of the short crotch buckle/thigh digging issues. My 9 month old is a big boy with serious thighs! I'm so glad we went ahead with this seat, it really is wonderful, and our little fella loves it, squishy thighs and all.
I did have to move the crotch buckle to the outmost position, and I wonder if this may help some of the other reviewers issues? I've provided a photo of my 27lb 2 yr old in his Boulevard 70-G3 vs. my 23lb 9 month old in his Boulevard CT. I hope it helps anyone wishing to compare or who is milling around making the choice.
The CT technology is so wonderful, it makes your install simple and foolproof, and this included with all the other features I've loved about the other Britax seats we've had. I also really love the newer fabric on this seat. Several of our older seats have almost a velour fabric, which is nice, but it does fade in the sun and the improved (in my opinion) on the CT seats seems like it will be cooler, wipe off nicely, and won't be prone to snagging. This thing *is* a beast though, I didn't weigh it, but I'd guess it's over 40lbs, so some people might need some help to hoist it up depending on their car/size. That is really the only drawback we've found so far.
I also want to add that in addition to the 7 Britax seats we've owned, we've also owned 3 Britax strollers over the years and in our experience, Britax has the hands-down best customer service of any company we've ever dealt with. Very happy to continue to be loyal to this brand.
