I found a boulevard for $219 which seems good to me. Is this a good price? I also found a marathon (in an ugly pattern :( ) for just under $200 which also seems good, yes?

edit - it is teh pure boulevard, not the CS

Sounds like a great price for a BV, to me :)

I'd go with the BLVD for $219. All of the Marathons in decent prints never ever go on sale, it's usually only the girly print ones.

That's a good price for a boulevard, and also a good price for a marathon (but not if you don't like it!). You *may* be able to improve on the price by doing a price match at either diapers.com or bed bath & beyond and then using a coupon (diapers.com has a 10% coupon for new customers; BB&B sends out 20% off coupons regularly.)

Thanks so much for posting this question OP! We started shopping for a car seat 2 days ago and this forum has been invaluable. This particular thread sealed the deal on which model to get!
We scored a britax boulevard for $229 at Albee baby. No tax, no s&h! They had 2 for $219 (pink and grey striped), but we decided to "splurge" ten bucks for the tan one :)
The same model and tan color one was on sale, same price, at diapers.com (and cheaper with 10% off discount) but unfortunately out of stock. Bummer. Paying $207 would have been
awesome, but I'm still excited for saving a buck over retail! Thank you all!
