The “True Side Impact Protection” provided in the Britax Boulevard 70 and Boulevard 70 CS provides an advanced level of side impact protection for your child in the event of a crash. Crashes involving side impacts increase the risk and often the severity of injury to a child. The Britax “True Side Impact Protection” provides enhanced protection in multiple areas of the seat. The deep side walls of the car seat shell, the energy absorbing foam and the improved adjustable headrest. The “True Side Impact Protection” system provides the improved level of protection in four ways;
It distributes the crash forces over a larger surface area, effectively reducing those impact forces.
It provides a shield for the child from objects intruding into the car during a side impact crash.
The “True Side Impact Protection” restrains and contains the child’s head and body within the structure of the car seat, thus precluding the child form coming into contact with the vehicle’s door or window.
And finally, it minimizes the child’s sideways head movement, literally truing the head position and keeping the neck and spine aligned. This limits the potential for injury.
All of this in conditioned on the child being fully and properly positioned and secured with the five-point harness system, and the car seat being properly and securely installed within the vehicle.
What to consider when purchasing a child car seat.
After confirming that the selected seat meets your child’s size and weight, consider the following aspects;
The type of harness: The Britax Boulevard 70 and 70 CS incorporate a five-point harness system that ensures ease in the process of positioning and securing your child in the car seat. It assures that the child is securely seated, minimizing the connection process with the tangle free system, and ensures an equal distribution of the pressure to the five different points on the body of the child, in the event of an accident. This distribution of stresses reduces greatly the possibility of injury while providing a comfortable and secure seating for your child.
When you child is properly positioned and the correctly secured with the five-point harness, the Britax Boulevard 70 and 70 CS Car Seat will keep that precious bundle securely in place, preventing whiplash, while the side impact protection provides additional protection form head injury.
