I bought this car seat from Amazon at an awesome price and they shipped so fast I didn't expect it to come 2 days earlier than the estimated delivery date. My little guy outgrew his Graco snug ride at just before 6 months. He is a big boy at 20 lbs and has chubby little thighs. I previously bought the Roundabout model because I looked up the specs and saw that the buckle strap depth is deeper at over 6 inches compared to the boulevard at 5.25 inches. Some of the reviews I read described this being a problem for little boys or for bigger babies. With the roundabout my sons thighs seemed like they were being squeezed to an uncomfortable fit with the straps. My sister had purchased a Boulevard Click and Safe for her son a while back and so I fitted my baby to their seat and saw that even when I tightened the harness snug, my baby's thighs didn't look uncomfortably tight. (The click and safe upgrade isn't necessary; it seems to click every time the harness is pulled even though there is obvious slack left between baby and harness. Britax says it clicks when the child seat harness is within range of proper snugness, but that you should use your own judgement.)
I'm 5'4 and I own a 2006 VW Jetta. I was worried it wouldn't fit right rear-facing in the middle of the back seat. It fits just fine but the car seat base covers the other seat belt buckles so no one else can really sit in the back.
He is a lot happier in this seat. He used to get fussy in the other seat but now he seems so relaxed.
Hope this helps.
