as in the wizard??

ever since we switched my DD from the snugride to the wizard shes been SUPER cranky in the car... and i'm wondering if the wings on the wizard have anything to do with it??? i really like the side-impact protection feature.. i'm wondering if the boulevard will have the same crankiness?

They are *really* wider, almost like they aren't there at all, compared to the little Wizard wings... I haven't heard of any kids hating the BV...yet, at least, lol.

Well, except Charlie. ;) But he only hates it because it's in the car and moving. If it was in the house he would love it.
He just hates the car... I had hoped the 'big' seat would make it better... but nah.

definitely don't go with the RA IMO. We have one, but just because we got an awesome deal on it... and we are seriously thinking of selling it (it's NIB) to get another BV.
I wouldn't go with a MA either. Since there is so little price difference between the MA and the DC and BV, I would go for the other ones.
I LOVE the BV, and Charlie likes it too, as long as the car isn't moving. Though he seems to be growing out of that. One can only hope.

our son is perfectly fine with his Boulevard - he's 10 months old now almost.

What's wrong with the new Marathons? We love our toddler's MA and I was just expecting to buy a new one when #2 outgrows his infant seat.

Nothing is wrong with them. I just think that with the slim price difference, the other two (DC and BV) are better. DC because of the adjustable crotch strap, more padding, and slightly larger size, and BV because of the SIP and the adjustor knob.
I like MAs a lot and have owned them in the past. But with the other two on the market now for about the same price, I just wouldn't buy another MA unles I found an awesome deal.

I agree with pp - the harness adjustment knob and SIP on the BV makes the 40 dollar price difference worth it easily.
