DS is currently FFing in a Britax Marathon. We bought the Boulevard for the new baby but I'm not due until May and we are going to be using an infant seat in the beginning. I'm starting to think that's a long time for the Boulevard to be sitting around in a box. I was thinking that I would move DS into the Boulevard and save the Marathon for baby.

We have an '03 Corolla, each seat would be outboard, and we don't have side impact airbags.

Would the Boulevard be better for the FFing toddler because of the wings? Or would it be better for a RFing infant because they are so tiny?

TIA,

I would put DS into the BV. The SIP is more important to a FF child than a RF child IMHO. If you were starting the baby off in the MA/BV i would say to go with the BV because of the infant insert but once the baby is too small for the carrier they should fit fine in the MA.

JMHO
