Roundabout 55. It's one of the smaller ones. So far so good but I need to figure out why one strap on one is longer. lol

Re: britax convertible car seat

we have the boulevard 70 for DS who is 3.5, and we love it! i like the "headwing" things it has because it gives him a spot to rest his head when he falls asleep in the car. i also like the height limit of 49 inches (And harness weight of 70 pounds), which means it will last us for awhile. i also just like britax in general for how easy the straps are to adjust, how easy it is to get the cover off and clean it, that kind of stuff.
we have it in my 2011 RAV4, and DHs 2014 Outback and it fits great in both cars.

We have the advocate bc it's their top model and has extra side protection. BUT it's huge and if you don't have a big car it won't be a good idea.

Boulevard because it was recommended by CarSeatSafetyChris based on the models of our cars.

Boulevard 70CS.
I like the CS- which stands for click safe. It makes an audible click when you have the straps pulled tight enough.
I like also that you don't have to take it apart and rethread the straps to adjust the height.
Love this seat.

I was told by Car Seat Chris to do the Blvd or the Marathon for our larger vehicle. I went with the Marathon.
For my smaller car i just picked up a Roundabout.

We went with the Britax Marathon 70-G3 Convertible Car Seat. I love it. Have both kids in them. If you decide on the Marathon, I have a brand new one in the box that has never been opened that I am selling. My aunt had bought us an extra one from Amazon that I cant return.

Re: britax convertible car seat

We have the boulevard - didn't seem too too bulky but big enough for me to feel secure. My only issue is that rear facing, the recline isn't huge (even at the most reclined setting). - we had to have a professional install it and tether it underneathth the seat in order to press down and get the seat back reclined enough to be at the permissible angle. I didn't want to use noodles or blankets. In terms of use now that it's in, I love it!

pavilion in my car... bc even though I registered for a different one (I forget now) that's what MIL decided to get lol
roundabout in my mom's car, and dh's car. bc that was the least expensive britax, and she's in their cars rarely.

I have the Marathon. I like it a lot. The only thing I can't stand is the straps are constantly all twisted It's so annoying but I think that's with any car seat.
