Britax Blvd 70 CS Car Seat

Britax Boulevard 70 CS Convertible Car Seat 

After months of researching, cross-analysis, peer-reviews and safety checks, we decided on purchasing the Britax Boulevard 70 CS Convertible Car Seat.  It has great features and will grow with Ella as the years add on.  I think my favorite feature is how slim and compact it is yet provides Ella with protection that we are looking for. It's not bulky and fits great next to our infant car seat (which we will obviously need) but allowing for one passenger to sit in the back.

An easy access cover and access to belt paths from the front of the seat make it easier to install.
