I'm needing to get a convertible car seat for my 10.5 month old, who is currently in a Peg Perego infant carrier (30/30). He's 23 lbs and 29.5 inches. I've decided to keep him rear-facing until he's 2 or exceeds the weight/height limit. After reading threads on here, I think I want the Britax Boulevard - having the side impact cushions appeals to me.
My questions:
1. I've saw a reference to the Blvd model with the narrow side cushions (that were apparently made for BRU?) that cause head flop issues - how do I know which model I'm getting? Does this mean I should not buy it from BRU (i.e., are all of BRU's a specialized/modified version of the Blvd)? Are all the ones currently on sale on Albee baby this less desirable model as well?
2. Someone also mentioned that it's okay for the Britax seats to touch the front (driver/passenger) seats when it's installed in the middle - could you please confirm this? It will be installed in a 2003 Accord.
3. What's the consensus on the Click & Safe models?
Thank you so much for your help! I'm happy/thankful I looked on here - we were all set to turn him around as soon as his first birthday hit, not realizing the significant safety implications of doing so... thanks for raising awareness to this issue!
