Several reviewers complained about the seat belt guide piece - sounds like if the child leans forward &amp; the belt pulls out, it doesn't always retract? Anyone else having this issue?

I didn't have a problem with the belt pulling out. I had an issue with the entire seat back coming forward when I braked. I only used it for one trip down the road and after I saw that happen, I took it out and returned it. Interestingly, the clerk at the store where it was purchased was not surprised that we weren't happy with it and said he sees a lot of them returned. Hope that helps!

I have not. I have installed and used two of these and never had that problem. It is not auto retracting.

It doesn't stay on as in lock on, it just sits loosely on top of the seat buckle. But you don't have to take it on and off, I usually do take it off and put it in the behind the seat pocket so the kids don't move it somewhere else.

I managed to get the front seat belt wrapped around it and clicked in place. It wasn't a sure thing but kept it from sliding forwardin braking situations. Hope this helps

I had the same problem. The quick release lever turns to set the seat tightness so it does not turn, I believe that was clockwise. My husband showed me how to tighten. I haven't had any problem with the seat turning after we adjusted it by that lever.

I haven't had a problem with that. I just put the seat belt over it. So far I have not had a problem. I do recommend looping your belt through it if you are going to be engaged in a lot of physical activity. It tends to get bumped off if it is just attached by sliding it over the belt.

I have mine in the center seat. My only complaint is if you have a rear facing car seat. The top part doesn't stay up on its own nor does it come with a strap to put around the head rest. So the top half is always falling O my child's legs. If your car seat is forward facing, that's better. We had some issues with snapping the side seat belts under the seat cover but I found that to be the same with other seat covers.

No it does not prevent the seatbelt from retracting. The clip easily slides along the seatbelt.

It's been at least a year since you posted this question, so I hope you've solved the problem by now. My parents had the same fight with me and my brother when we were young and solved it by slamming on the breaks when they saw our seat belts were off (obviously, they made sure the road conditions were safe for this!). I tumbled to the front of our van and my brother hit a cabinet. Then we got yelled at and (probably) spanked. We were unharmed, but very terrified by the experience and NEVER took our seatbelt off again. It's not a solution I can recommend, but it worked on me.

HiMy five year old daughter unclicks the seatbelt all the time. I am always concerned about if she is safely strapped. I don't think it is the ideal booster for a such young child. If strapping is what bothers her, you would have a bigger problem.We love the booster seat and we had also transitioned from a Britax marathon. But it would suit better a older child. Hope this helps!

A couple of things that I thought of: Is the seat in recline position 3? Have you removed the infant body pillow? (It's not needed if your child can sit without support.) If it helps, it looks like you can adjust the angle of the car seat in position 3, the manual talks about this on page 20. Good luck!

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.

I use it on my driver's seatbelt to prevent the "cross piece" from rubbing my neck. Once installed, after use most of the belt retracts up to the clip - which is great because I don't have to re-adjust every time I use it. However, a different size driver would have to undo the clip before using. I'm not sure about the child car seat ..... but the good thing is that it's metal & won't break.

No. My only issue was the seat. It didn't tighten correctly. Seat tended to move more than I liked. Other than that my kids have rode it hard. Now my sisters kids play with it.

We have never experienced even a whisper of difficulty in steering. It IS a double stroller so by nature it does not manuever like a single. It's heavier and wider. I think if you've never used a double stroller you may think ALL of them are hard to steer so maybe that affects the opinions of those who have a negative comment about this. Or someone may have gotten a defective stroller with a set of crummy wheels. That can happen with any product.Amazon reviews can be very confusing - sometimes too many opinions actually help instead of hurt, right? Ha.Maybe you could "test drive" one in the store?Hope this helps. Good luck. We have never experienced even a whisper of difficulty in steering.

yes it is frustrating. i pull the straps as tight as i can and then pull down on the strap that tightens it. it feels like it is off the track or something. it is my biggest complaint about this seat as i feel i can't get the straps as tight as they should be.

I've not had any problems. It has a slot to remove it is positioned in a way that to get it off you must lift straight up when the toddler seat is in the down position.
