11.05 -> Hi everybody, I’m Melissa. Welcome to Cloudmom,
so happy to be back here at Albee Baby. I’ve
16.07 -> got the Britax Boulevard 70 car seat here.
And this seat has some new and improved features
24.77 -> from the Marathon, Britax’s older version.
I’m going to quickly run through those,
28.619 -> and then show you how to install it in the
rear-facing position. This is the seat your
32.349 -> baby will use as she transfers out of the
infant car seat. And she will be in the rear-facing
36.98 -> position, according to the most recent advice,
until she is both two years old and forty
41.87 -> pounds. So what does this seat have? Improved
SIP, side infant protection, basically a lot
47.89 -> of head and neck support. A anti-tangle harness,
this works a little bit differently than the
53.8 -> Marathon. Here’s how you clip in at the
bottom like this. Here’s the chest clip.
60.289 -> This should be at armpit height. It’s very,
very easy to work. When you want to pull and
66.43 -> loosen these straps, there’s a lever here,
right underneath here, I’m going to try
71.48 -> to show you, that you will press up upon with
your finger. And the motion you follow is
75.96 -> to just pull up and out like this, up and
out, up and out. It’s a little bit different
80.36 -> than the Marathon where you could loosen one
strap at a time. Okay. So one other feature
85.9 -> about this based on much, much older Britaxes,
and I myself have had one since my youngest
93.5 -> child converted out of the infant seat, is
right here. With this feature when your straps
98.74 -> are loosened, you can basically adjust the
height of the back of the chair. In the past
103.42 -> the straps would have to be pulled in, into
a new position, which took a little more time.
107.98 -> Okay. So now I’m ready to put this in the
rear-facing position. What do I do? The first
112.4 -> thing I’m going to do is recline the chair.
And in order to do that I’m using this piece
117.77 -> here, which I’m going to pull up on. And
I’m going to put my seat into a reclining
122.61 -> position. This can be a little bit tricky,
because you don’t get that clicking noise
126.31 -> that we all like so much. Now I’m in the
reclined position. I’m facing my seat towards
132.05 -> the back. And I’m going to do my lock. Here
are my latches. As you can see they move up
141.67 -> and around this steel bar, which is what allows
me to use them in either the rear-facing or
147.63 -> the forward-facing position. Okay? And the
way I loosen them is by pushing down on this
153.37 -> gray piece here, and then by pulling like
this. Just pull out, outwards. If you pull
159.73 -> up or down, you’ll have trouble. Just pull
towards yourself, and then you tighten like
163.45 -> this. Okay? So each latch is shaped like this,
it’s sort of like a shark head I say. It’s
167.98 -> going to go in right like this into the piece
in the back. So I’ve got this side here
174.31 -> ready to go. I’m going to latch it in. Click.
I’m moving around to this side, on the other
182.91 -> side. Here’s my second latch. I’m going
in right there. You want to make sure it clicks
193.76 -> around the metal like that. Okay. Now to tighten
these latches, a good thing to do is to come
200.93 -> up through this hole. This hole, see where
my hand is? This is where I’m going to come
206.52 -> up to tighten my latch like that. And I’m
going to do it on both sides. Right up there,
216.459 -> nice and tight and even. There I go. The final
step, and this is the tether. Now I cannot
223.84 -> fully demonstrate the tether for you guys,
because you need to attach this to the car
230.56 -> seat in front of you. This piece you just
simply pull up like this to loosen it. Pull.
237.9 -> This is going to give you that nice, long
strap. Okay? Now basically what you’re going
244.37 -> to do is, you’re going to loop this piece
around one of the front seats of either the
249.42 -> driver’s seat or the passenger’s seat
in your car. Okay? So it will be looped around
254.739 -> like this. And you will be locking this into
place. And then you will be tightening and
261.799 -> tightening and tightening to make sure that
you get that very tight fit. Now keep in mind
266.449 -> once you do this, you can’t move your driver’s
seat nor your passenger’s seat wherever it’s
271.029 -> attached, because this has to stay in place.
You also lose storage, but a lot of people
275.58 -> think this is necessary, because otherwise
your seat can be not 100 percent, entirely
280.87 -> secure. Check your product manual to make
sure of exactly which way you want to do this
285.069 -> in. Okay. So that’s how the tethering works.
And now I’m going to quickly show you how
291.259 -> to do the rear install using the seatbelt,
which is the option to the latch method, one
296.059 -> of the options. So I’m going to undo my
latches. And the way I undo my latches is
300.83 -> just by pressing down and pulling. It’s
very easy. I press down on the red part and
304.759 -> I pull. Let me come over here and show you
guys. Press down on the red and pull the whole
310.93 -> thing like that. Okay? This comes undone like
this. And I’m going to open up this seat
328.259 -> now. So I’m going to take my seatbelt and
I’m going to pull it out as much as possible.
338.789 -> I’m going to grab onto it with one hand,
giving myself as much slack as possible with
345.96 -> my right hand. I’m going in here where it
says "rear-facing belt path.” I'm swooping
352.839 -> my belt through and I’m dropping it down
into the other side, and I’m pulling it
356.909 -> tight, keeping it smooth in the middle of
where this lock off function is. I’m coming
365.349 -> around to the other side, and I’m snapping
it into place. Now I’m going to start picking
370.65 -> up on the slack and making it nice and tight.
With a car that has a lock function, see how
375.939 -> tight this is getting? That’s good. Your
seatbelt will lock into place. Now make sure
383.839 -> both of these are underneath this lock off
function like this. Okay? Now I’m going
393.58 -> to push this down like this. The top piece
goes down first. Then the bottom piece goes
399.759 -> over it until I hear that nice locking sound.
Same thing here, top piece down first, bottom
407.199 -> piece over it, nice sound of it pressing in.
And you can see that my seat is in position.
414.93 -> Now guys, before you do this lock down function
with these inner clasps, make sure that your
420.259 -> seat is fully tight here. You’ve pressed
down on it. And you’ve maneuvered and made
425.49 -> sure you don’t have more than an inch of
maneuverability. And when your whole back
429.33 -> situation is sorted out, then you have your
tethering function which I showed earlier
433.689 -> in the video, whereby you can tether to the
driver’s seat or the passenger’s seat
438.93 -> at the front of the car. So this is really
the basics when it comes to the Boulevard
443.089 -> 70 with a rear-facing installation. Of course
go step by step through your manual, of course
448.119 -> in addition to this video. And thank you so,
so much for watching Cloudmom.
