Boulevard ClickTight SafeWash
The Boulevard ClickTight is renowned for its foolproof installation system and high-energy absorbing shell. The SafeWash version uses a unique knit fabric that is naturally flame retardant without any chemical additives.
Quality & Materials
The SafeWash fabric is a proprietary knit that meets federal safety standards for flammability without any added chemicals. It is also dryer-safe, which is rare for car seat covers.
Evidence & Testing
Features two layers of side impact protection and a steel-reinforced frame. Britax uses a V-shaped tether to slow forward movement and a 'SafeCell' base that crumples to absorb energy.
Brand Transparency
Britax provides detailed installation videos and material safety data, though they are a larger corporation with less direct 'boutique' transparency than Clek.
Value Assessment
Excellent value for a seat that lasts from 5 to 65 lbs and features a reinforced steel frame usually only found in more expensive models.
Why Not Alternatives?
The ClickTight system solves the #1 safety issue: incorrect installation. Competitors often have complex LATCH systems that lead to user error, whereas the Boulevard's tensioning system ensures a rock-solid fit every time.
