Bauer Convertible Infant

Is convertible car seat a good idea for a newborn?

I am very confused shall buy an infant car seat now and a convertible when the baby is an year old or shall I get a convertible which can be used both for a newborn and a todller?

Many convertible seats have a minimum weight of 5 lbs or "birth". The problem is that most newborns do not fit well in a convertible seat. In order to fit correctly, the child's shoulders must be at or above the lowest set of harness slots. Many parents purchase a convertible seat before their child is born, thinking that it is the ONLY seat they'll ever need. Most babies will need an infant seat.

Many people don't realize that not every car seat fits in every car. Many vehicles have humps, sloped seats and buckle configurations that are completely INCOMPATIBLE with some car seats. Unfortunately, the only way to tell if a seat will fit is to try it out. Many baby specialty stores and places like Toys R Us/Babies R Us will allow the customer to leave a drivers license at the front desk and take seats out of the store to try them out in the car. When installing the seat, you need to be sure that it is locked into place. Check your car's owner's manual to find out how to lock your child restraint in. There should be less than 1 inch of movement side to side and from back to front. To check for seat movement, grab the seat where the seat belt threads through on either side and pull from side to side and from the back of the seat toward the front. Use gentle tugs - any forceful movement can dislodge even the tightest installation. A rear-facing seat will have normal movement back and forth and side to side at the TOP of the seat - this is the way it's designed to protect baby.

The Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat is a top of the line seat made by a company who has been a leader in car seat manufacturing and safety for over 30 years. It successfully combines safety, comfort, and ease of use.

The Britax Boulevard protects from all types of crashes included side impact accidents. Not only does this seat keep your child's head and spine stable, it also protects from side airbags and flying debris.

The Boulevard uses EPS foam not only to make your child comfortable, but also to protect her during an accident. The air cells within the foam absorb the impact so your child doesn't get hurt. This type of foam is also used in bicycle helmets.

The Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat adjusts easily as your child grows. A knob on the side of the seat adjusts the harness quickly without removing the seat from the vehicle. The height adjustment also moves the head restraint, ensuring your child is protected.

Since the Britax Boulevard is a convertible seat, your child will be able to use it for many years. The seat safely cradles a five pound baby and also supports a 65 pound toddler. It can be used rear facing or front facing. Adjustable and removable pillows offer further support and customization. Due to the years of use provided, the Boulevard saves the money and time involved with shopping for another seat.

The Britax Boulevard offers easy installation. The small, contoured base fits securely in most vehicles. The Latch connectors attach snugly and, with the built-in lock-offs, help hold the seat snugly in place.

Stories abound of children surviving accidents unscathed due to the safety and durability of the Boulevard. You can watch one family's story of how a Britax Convertible Seat protected their child during a head-on collision with a train.

When purchasing a car seat, get one that promises years of use, safety and comfort for your child, and ease of use for yourself. The Boulevard can deliver all these things for years to come.
