Identify a seat?

_juune · Aug 8, 2014

A used Britax Boulevard (?) listing popped up in my local "craiglist" type portal. The thing is, I'm in [Eastern] Europe

Can anyone tell how old that seat might be, and what are the RF/FF limits [height/weight/cm from the top rules]?
I'm well aware of the "beware used seats"; if the price goes down I might get it just to play with a foreign seat

Here's the seat:

I think they stopped making that seat in 2009. You can find a link to the manual in the discontinued seat section on here

Looks just like the same model of our now expired Britax Boulevard seats. We bought ours in 2008. Weight limit FF is 65 lbs.

Is it FF only or?
I secretly wish we had a higher harness limit FF then 40lb. :spit:

It's a convertible. The classic (white shelled) Britax seats were essentially the first ERF seats we had in the US. They were great seats.

Rear-facing limit was 33 lbs. I believe in 2008 or so it was bumped up to 35 lbs. I believe the xover is called Regal. I might be wrong.

Yep...what she said! It's a very good seat. It is most likely expired since it only lasts 6 years from manufactured date...and I think they stopped making it in 2009 that looked like that, so check the date! Otherwise, it's a good Extended Rear Facing and Forward Facing for a long time. Easily until your kid is 4-5 years old.

Thanks!
If the Boulevard was manufactured until 2009, it's likely expired or very close to expiring. And the seller wants 100 Euro for it, LOL!

Well, in truth, me, too. Mainly because of 2 reasons. The kids on the top percentiles, who outgrow the FF 18kg harness seats way too soon [and whose parents have never heard of RF to 25kg seats]. And because there is a ton of very nice FF-only harness seats that I'll never get to play with, because DD is already 19kg [and nearly 5 years old] and is obviously going from RF straight into booster.

My reason as well. That or they just don't believe in ERF....

I see 3 year olds in a booster all the time when I pick my daughter up from play school. :thumbsdown:
