Hi!
I have a 13 month old who is 31 inches tall and weighs 21 pounds. He has outgrown his Chicco Key key fit 30 seat, which I love. We are in the process of moving overseas and cicumstances have caused a big delay in the move. However, our belongings have already shipped overseas months ago and those include the new seat we bought for future use (which we now need). The seat that is now overseas and waiting for us is the Britax Boulevard 70. When we arrive to our future destination it will still take at least a month for us to receive the car seat, due to red tape.
Since we won't be moving for another 6 weeks, I feel that I can't make my son wait any longer for a new seat. The Chicco is getting a little snug on his shoulders and to take it with us would be a waste. I need a new convertible seat that will travel well. We will not only be taking multiple flights when we move, but once we are in the new country, there will be more traveling.
I love the idea of the Boulevard for safety, comfort, and ease of use. However, I believe it could be cumbersome to tote around for travels, especially for flying.We may also have a few different vehicles that we have to ride in before ours arrives in country.
I also have read about the Radians, but am concerned about the possibility of having trouble installing them with ease and the weight of it.
I keep reading reviews but can't seem to find one that meets all of the criteria. I feel like ease of use, safety, and portability are important for us. I feel that we could just use one for travels and the Boulevard for in the car.
Questions:
1. Any recommendations?
2. Is the Boulevard too complicated to tote around? What about if you're in a foreign country with tons of stuff?
3. Can the Radian be used with the Traveling Toddler strap to put on the rolling luggage?
Finally, thank you for any specifics that you can give us.
