Will the Britax Boulevard "Click and Safe" fit on an airplane? Has anyone had experience using this carseat on airplanes?

We have a regular Britax Boulevard, and it fits an airplane seat. I believe the regular Boulevard and "Click and Safe" models are the same size (although I could be wrong). It was a semi-tight fit through the aisle, but we didn't hit anyone. :) The carseat fit pretty easily into the airline seat by just lifting the armrest. The airline seatbelt was a whole different story. I had a very difficult time getting the belt tight enough through the carseat bars-it is just a bad angle. I held onto the seat on take-off and landing just to be sure. Also, I would suggest purchasing wheels for your carseat. go-go Kidz Travelmate is a set of wheels that attaches to your car seat-essentially turning it into a stroller. It is pricey, but worth it. This way you can check your stroller and not have to tow a carseat and stroller through busy airports. Put it together and practice at home to be sure you can do it quickly and easily at the airport. Hope this was helpfu!

I agree with Lauren. A Britax carseat should fit without the adapter. I purchased the adapter in order to attach a Chicco carseat to the Britax stroller.

No. This one is specifically desingned for britax. It does not "grab" the carseat, instead, the carseat clicks into this piece. It id a removable piece that Britax carseats brings attached. I guess you will need the universal carseat adapter.

I believe it is too big for the overhead but carseats are typically checked for free. I believe you can also have them checked at the gate (like strollers).

Hi! I am sorry. I have never taken this carseat with us while traveling. Although, i can tell you that this seat is on the heavier side.

The boulevard has more safety features. You can compare on the britax website.

I am not sure about that. We use Graco and have never had a problem. The side of the car seat should have a label saying it is airline approved or TSA approved.

Thanks for your reply. I bought the Boulevard end of June and started using the carseat beginning of July. I love it! My daughter is 9 mos now, 28.5 in. and 20 lbs. She does very well in the seat and her head does not tilt forward when she sleeps like it always did in her Graco Snugride (which I also liked, except for the head dangle). I'm also not sure if her head will tilt forward once I turn her forward facing. I will try to keep her rear facing as long as possible.

Hello, No sad face! Turn that frown upside down :) . We actually have a new model, the Twin Roo Plus and it will certainly adapt to Britax/Bob B-Safe car seats. Please note that the car seat adapters are sold separately for that item. Thanks!

The Seat Saver waterproof liner fits perfectly in the Britax Boulevard CS. I can't speak for other models of Britax car seats.

I've never used it on an airplane but from using it in my car I would say yes. It doesn't stick out very far. Hope this helps somewhat!

How did you secure the car seat to the airplane seat? That was another big problem of mine. You said, "one of e harness solutions." I only know of one that's FAA approved for takeoff and landing. What ones do you know of?

We didn't use it on a plane, but according to the Britax website and the booklet came with it, it won't be difficult to install. We use the Britax carseat bag and checked in at gate along with our stroller, both didn't count as extra luggage. The bag also can be carry like a backpack, it was light and easy to carry. The Carseat bag also could fit a toddler potty seat from IKEA. So it worked perfectly for us.

Yes, it fits under an airplane seat perfectly. I am coincidentally travelling while this question popped up, and took Skip hop grand with me.

It is certified for aircraft use - I have not taken mine on the airplane. The carseat is large and difficult to carry thru an airport, I am also not sure if it will fit in the airplane seat well - so I chose to check the carseat and take my baby as a lap child. It is a FABULOUS carseat for everything else though - we love both of ours!

I can tell you from experiance using this seat on an international flight it is great. I flew from Germany to Texas without a car seat. I had this one ordered and sent to my destination, as my daughter was about to out grow her infant car seat. On the flight back to Germany my husband buckled this seat into the normal plan seat, and within mins my daughter was asleep and slept the entire 10 hour plane ride, lucky we had a night time flight. We also had a rental car while in the states and it fit perfectly. I did not install this car seat my husband did, but he said it was easy both in the car and on the plane.

I called Britax a few days ago (10/14/11) and the part numbers have changed so Amazon is clearing out the old stock. That's it! There are no new safety features. The only issue to pay attention to is that car seats have expiration dates, 6 years for a Boulevard from the date of construction so the new version may have a few more months in it before the expiration date.
