BRITAX 360 Degree Protection
The BRITAX BOULEVARD 70 features technologies that work to minimize injury to your child during a crash from any direction, including both frontal and side impact crashes - the most frequent types of crashes. These technologies work together with other features on the car seat to minimize injury to your child during a crash by:

  • keeping your child in the vehicle,
  • diverting crash forces away from your child,
  • helping to slow down your child's body,
  • minimizing movement of your child, and
  • protecting your child's brain and spinal cord.
SafeCell Technology for Advanced Head Safety
Designed with SafeCell Technology, the BOULEVARD 70 features SafeCells, which are engineered structures located in the base of the seat designed to compress in the event of a crash. This compression significantly lowers the center of gravity and counteracts the forward rotation of the car seat, delivering unprecedented performance in a crash.

The BOULEVARD 70 also features integrated steel bars, which strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce the forward flexing of the car seat. In addition, the energy-absorbing Versa-Tether anchors the top of the car seat and minimizes forward rotation of the car seat to reduce the crash forces that can reach your child if an accident occurs. These three features work together as a system to provide revolutionary head safety protection for your child.

True Side Impact Protection for Advanced Security
Offering True Side Impact Protection, the BOULEVARD 70 delivers advanced protection if you happen to face an unexpected side-impact crash. True Side Impact Protection is a system composed of a rigid seat shell with deep side walls, an adjustable head restraint, and an extra layer of energy-absorbing EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) foam lining the head restraint. These combined features work together to protect your child's head and chest from incoming side-impact crash forces by distributing the forces over a larger surface area, helping shield your child from vehicle intrusion, contain your child's head and body in the seat, and minimize side-to-side movement of your child's head.

Premium Fit and Comfort Features
Whether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the BOULEVARD 70 reclines in both the forward and rear positions. And thanks to additional features, which include high-density comfort foam and a plush cover set with matching belly pad, they'll always ride in style and comfort. A 70-pound weight capacity, two buckle positions, and a tangle-free five-point harness with ten harness height settings provide a snug, custom fit for your growing child. Plus, an optional Infant Positioning Insert (sold separately) allows you to properly and securely fit smaller infants into the car seat.

Ease-of-Use for Safety and Convenience
Packed with perks for parents, the BOULEVARD 70 makes it easy to secure your child in the proper position without guesswork. Premium lower LATCH connectors make for a quick, simple, and tight installation, while the push-button allows you to easily uninstall the connectors. Easy-to-access built-in lock-offs allow you to install the car seat with ease using your vehicle's lap and shoulder belt. The quick-adjust harness system and buckle allow you to reposition the harness height without disassembling the harness straps.

Additionally, an anti-slip contoured base grips and protects the vehicle seat, ensuring a tight installation in all types of vehicles. Convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way when you're placing your child in the seat, and the plush cover set with matching pads removes easily for cleaning without requiring you to disassemble or uninstall the car seat.

The BRITAX BOULEVARD 70 Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Sunshine Kids Radian65 Convertible Car Seat - Champagne

Sunshine Kids Radian65 Convertible Car Seat - Champagne Review



Sunshine Kids Radian65 Convertible Car Seat - Champagne Feature

  • Rear facing: 5 lbs to 33 lbs, forward facing up to 65lbs
  • 5-point harness and 3 buckle positions
  • 3" longer seat bottom
  • EPS safety foam for side-impact protection with steel alloy frame
  • Folds flat to a compact 6.5" for easy travel and storage

Not all babies and toddlers fit the "standard" sizes for car seats and boosters. Some might be too tall for an infant seat but too light for a booster--and vice versa. The Sunshine Kids Radian 65 car seat aims to include those in-between children. With safety and performance at its core, Sunshine Kids designed an omnibus convertible that combines maximum protection, comfort, and ease of use. It starts with the steel alloy frame; complemented with expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam around the head, neck, and torso; and completed with comfort foam and plush padding. Install in a rear-facing position for infants five to 33 pounds via seatbelts or using the LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children). Strap baby in with the padded five-point harness and attach the two-piece sternum clip. Comfort pads will help prevent chafing on the neck and shoulders. Convert to a forward-facing booster seat for toddlers and children up to 65 pounds. You can use the five-point harness up to the maximum weight, and the five shoulder strap heights grow with the child. Feel safer knowing that your child has the same impact protection well into their school age years. The Sunshine Kids Radian 65 quickly folds for a depth of seven inches. The steel frame is less bulky than the normal plastic, and the narrow bottom allows for multiple car seats in the back. Manufacturer recommended age is birth and up with a maximum weight of 65 pounds and maximum height of 49 inches. --Scott Teal

Radian is a Convertible Car Seat for rear-facing children 5 to 33 lbs. and forward-facing children up to 65 lbs in a 5-point harness. Maximum child height is 51 inches.
