Backseat Armrest question

My SOn has been in a Boulevard since birth and I had it installed at the Hospital by a tech. I have an armrest in the center but with a Boulevard there is no way for it to come down. I had planned on moving my SOn's Boulevard over and still keep him rear facing but I hear a lot about the center armrest and infant seats. We bought the Safeseat for the new baby, will it be okay in the center or not?

I wouldn't worry about the fold-down center armrests that are in many cars.

Evenflo used to (I'm not sure if they still do) say you couldn't install seats in front of a fold-down armrest, but it always seemed a bit silly to me. If I recall correctly, Evenflo was the only major manufacturer that forbid it. I may be mistaken about that, though.

Unless your carseat or your vehicle forbids it, you can install in front of an armrest.
