    Default Another MA vs BV question

    OK - I'm down to the MA and BV. I'm very tempted by the great deal on the MA recently posted here ($186 with free shipping!). However, the BV seems like a great seat. My DD is quite petite with her head circumference being in the 20th percentile. Those wings seem really wide to me and I wonder how much protection they would give her now. I know when she is bigger she would fit better, but I am also concerned about her hating them. She does fair in her infant carrier, but is starting to hate it because she wants to see everything. Any thoughts?

    I think the wings are so wide apart on this seat as to be a complete non-issue...all the added side impact protection, none of the annoyance. Plus, you get the nifty harness-height dialing feature, which allows you to keep the harness right ON her shoulders at all times...no worrying that her shoulders are too far above the lower slots or too far below the upper slots (granted, it's not a huge worry, and the slots are easy to change....)

    Really, you can't go wrong with either seat, so flip a coin and see if you are happy or disappointed with the answer you get, and then you'll know what seat to buy :)

    Thank you! One more question: The BV replaces the WZ, right? Are there new features on the BV that the WZ doesn't have? I've seem some deals online on the WZ.

    Thanks again,

    Yeah, it's replacing the WZ...the only difference is the wider headwings and cover options...the WZ is just on clearance to get them off the shelves now. It's nice, more kids like the "pillows" than hate them, I think :)

    I struggled with the same options & chose the Boulevard. I love that I can adjust the strap height without taking the seat apart & I love the protection offered by the side wings. More importantly, my 3 year old thinks it's a really cozy seat & he actually refers to the wings as his "headrest" when he's getting sleepy.
