Marathon:
It's a subtle difference.

One other thing is that she gets car sick in the BLVD once a week or so and has never once been car sick in the RA50/RA. I am thinking that the headwings could be the reason.... she is constantly leaning forward to see out the window and then gets sick. I know that when people can't see out of a vehicle they can get motion sicknes

I never thought about the headwings being a problem with carsickness!!! My dd gets carsick (so sick of cleaning vomit out of carseats). She was in a Recaro Signo with headwings. I just switched her to our new RA50. I hope it will make a difference for my kid like it did with your little sister! Fingers crossed.

I could be wrong but I think it makes sense and seems true for Olivia. One little boy I took care of would get horribly car sick if he sat outboard. He was 10 at the time and would always have to sit in the center back seat of the SUV so he could see out straight ahead. The interesting thing is that Olivia consistently gets sick in the BLVD in my mom's car which is a Toyota Sequoia with tinted windows and she has been in my car a few times per week her whole life always in the SS1/RA/RA50 and has never puked. She never puked in the SS1 from birth to 8 months in the Sequoia either. Everything does seem to point to the BLVD but it could still be a coincidence. ..who knows.
But yeah... cleaning toddler puke out of a seat is pretty much worse than anything. I have a strong stomach but ugh, I am SO over it. It is of course my duty because no one else knows how to clean/assemble/install... pathetic, I know. I've tried to give a RA50 to my mom but she loves the Megan BLVD cover and thinks my theory is wacko like everything else I tell her about seats.... sigh.

Not everyone is prone to motion sickness but to those who are, obstruction of vision in a moving vehicle and not being able to see out can make it much, much worse. Your son is probably fine with it because he doesn't suffer from motion sickness... many kids area fine in the BLVD but to many it may be an issue. I was not implying that the seat *causes* motion sickness, just that's if a child is prone to it, it may make it worse.
Oh, I understood you. I was prone to motion sickness as a child and threw up in a few cars when the driver didn't listen fast enough.
I hope DS continues to not suffer that problem. It's something for me to keep in mind tho next time I shop for car seats ... though I'm not sure I'll be buying another RF seat short of an accident.You must read your carseat and vehicle owner’s manual and understand any relevant state laws.
