Just received our new Britax Boulevard G3 in the mail. This is our second BV - we have really enjoyed our first one (BV 70 from 2010) & needed a second for other car.
We ordered the new one in Silver Birch fabric. When it arrived, I was so disappointed in the feel (& noise!) of the material. It is rough and stiff, not at all like the make of the fabric in our older BV. It is also extremely noisy, which poses a problem since this material covers the headrest piece too (our DD would always feel & hear the crinkle/swish of her head rubbing against rough polyester). Within 20 min of opening the seat, we decided to send it back, knowing that there is no way our 18 month old would be comfortable in it. Anyone else have this take on the material?
So before I take a stab at another fabric choice, does anyone know about the Aztec material (BTW, we have ruled out zebra, onyx, & caitlin)? Can you give a description of the feel of the material?
Also, because the price is close, we also considered the Pavilion in Blueprint. Can anyone help with describing the feel of this material?
Any help is appreciated - We live in the boonies, so going to a store to see the fabric is not an option. Gotta rely on opinions & online descriptions. Many thanks for your help!
