While turning his car seat around yesterday, I realized that the base is broken. It will not lock into the upright position. I've noticed that this seems to be a common problem.
I don't think it is a safety issue, because I have the seat installed (FF right now) so tightly that it can't just 'slip' into recline. However, it is an expensive seat and it should work!
I don't know how long I've had this Boulevard. We got one when it first came out, but replaced it a few months later... and then one I think last January. I don't know which is which though. Under warranty Britax will replace it, even out of warranty they probably will. But that's two weeks without the seat. Until then I have an Evenflo Triumph I can use, but it has to be FF, and probably outboard, which bothers me a lot. Otherwise I could use an Evenflo Generations, but between the two I would rather have the Triumph. I've been thinking about buying an Uptown 'just because' and this might be a perfect reason. But I don't want too many seats, I'm trying to get rid of them!
Is the broken base likely to ever be a problem? I can't imagine it would be, but I don't want to take chances.
