I have the Britax Boulevard and have been extremely happy with it. My son loves it and enjoys going for car rides. Check out www.albeebaby.com for some great prices.
I received such helpful information regarding my search for a stroller, I'd love to hear your feedback regarding a front to rear facing convertible car seat. I'm considering the Britax Decathalon or Britax Boulevard. Anyone have any pros or cons for either of these models or can recommend a better car seat that will last thru the toddler years?

Not much difference between the two car seats I have the three of the Marathons and love them. Two are for my children and my husband has an extra one his car. I think the Decathalon and Boulevard have higher weight and height capacities, but just think that once you child is four he/she will want a booster seat so why spend the extra money.
All I can say is if you can afford the Britax, go for it, its great, just check for recalls, but if you want advice from a mom of Four, stick with anything made from GRACO, i mean anything, and you should be ok...resale your carseats and that will supliment your money for a new one, but dont expect to get exactly what you paid. kind of like a car, it loses value.hope that helped..
i Love the Britax Boulevard. I have it and a Graco. Hate the Graco...
I love my Britax. I got it at Babies R Us and they have a 15% off coupon this week. I have an extra coupon if you are in the Lewisville area. I could meet you up there if you need it.
Have you considered the Marathon? It goes up to 65 pounds. I love mine. I recently purchased one from www.travelingtikes.com at a great price since it was a 2007 model. BTW, the only difference between the 2007 and 2008 was the fabric (and the price - $50 less!).
Britax is very good. I have the Roundabout. If you can, I would recommend going to a store that has these seats and making sure they fit in your car. I wanted the Marathon, but at the time had a small car and the Roundabout was the only Britax model that would fit in my car when the seat was in the rear-facing position.
