Will the Britax Boulevard "Click and Safe" fit on an airplane? Has anyone had experience using this carseat on airplanes?

We have a regular Britax Boulevard, and it fits an airplane seat. I believe the regular Boulevard and "Click and Safe" models are the same size (although I could be wrong). It was a semi-tight fit through the aisle, but we didn't hit anyone. :) The carseat fit pretty easily into the airline seat by just lifting the armrest. The airline seatbelt was a whole different story. I had a very difficult time getting the belt tight enough through the carseat bars-it is just a bad angle. I held onto the seat on take-off and landing just to be sure. Also, I would suggest purchasing wheels for your carseat. go-go Kidz Travelmate is a set of wheels that attaches to your car seat-essentially turning it into a stroller. It is pricey, but worth it. This way you can check your stroller and not have to tow a carseat and stroller through busy airports. Put it together and practice at home to be sure you can do it quickly and easily at the airport. Hope this was helpfu!

I am not sure about that. We use Graco and have never had a problem. The side of the car seat should have a label saying it is airline approved or TSA approved.

According to the manual, it is approved for use and will fit on airplanes. It is 14.5" at armrest height, most US carriers have a seat width of between 17.5 and 18" in economy, so you should be good.

I believe both Britax infant car seats do click in... We have the b safe and it goes ONLY on the top not on the bottom..UNLESS you buy the adaptor and then it clicks into the adaptor. We returned our adaptor and used the Britax b safe infant car seat on top when our son was smaller and put our daughter (the eldest) in the second seat below.. My kids are 15months apart in age so that's what worked best until my son outgrew the infant car seat then we put him on the bottom and my daughter up top in the regular seat is comes with! I hope that wasn't super confusing lol.

I highly recommend the new Britax clicktight for seat belt install. I have never had a car seat that has tightened so easily and ends up with no movement at all!

My husband just installed the Britax Boulevard in his Prius and it fits securely. If you go to the Britax website, it has a link that will tell you which models are recommended for which vehicles.

I used an older model on an airplane. All car seats have to be forward facing and an airplane doesn't have a latch system. I always think installing a car seat without a latch system is more difficult. Also it is difficult to carry onto the airplane and move it between seats without bumping into anyone while still trying to wrangle the kiddo� I think this is true for all car seats though, not just this particular brand/model. Traveling with kids is just a lot more work!

Will definitely NOT fit, on some airlines it exceeds the check-in size. You can check plane side and the bag will protect the car seat

Yes it fits any size carseat that is Britax brand. The bag is pretty large but easy to travel with because of the wheels. And it offers great protection when you do check the bag at the counter!

No it doesn't fit down isles, we recently traveled and tried it. I just folded it up before we got on the plane and put it in the car seat while carrying it on, luckily my toddler could walk to our seats.

I flew with a Boulevard 70 CS on Delta and had no problem on either plane (a 757 and a DC9). Car seat was easy to install. feet were a little close to the seat in front of my son (a 14th month old who is in the 97% for size) but he only could kick the seat when it was reclined.

No. There is no way it would fit. Well, perhaps on a large plane. I'm not sure exactly about the dimensions but I think it ends up being to tall. The seat itself is approved for in flight use so you could use it on the plane. The airlines check carseats for free with a child so I went that route.

Yes it is and that was our main reason for getting it. So much lighter toting through airports than the Britax. We used it on several trips, different airlines, etc. with no problems.

I am sorry to say I don't know one way or the other as I have never had to take a toddler seat on a plane. That being said, this seat is about as portable as any of the previous 4 I have tried. I yank it in and out of my car all the time as I only see my little granddaughters once a week and I use my back seat for multiple other purposes than car seat storage. My daughter has one like it and she likes the seat too but I don't think she took it on their one and only plane ride (she did not take any seats as they are 3 and 5). Good luck and have a good trip.

Different airlines have different rules with car seats. You will to check with them. I will say that I would NOT travel with this car seat. It is really heavy and bulky and difficult to transport/carry. We actually bought a lighter, more manageable car seat for travel in Europe.

Hi Jessica,I have a small car myself and this car seat is really big. My husband placed it rear facing and it was a tight fit. The front seat had to be moved up to accommodate the size of the car seat, but overall it fit. We haven't tried it forward facing, but I imagine it would fit better that way. The car seat is also very heavy, I doubt you would be able to lug it around while traveling and you may have some difficulty fitting it on a plane.Hope that answered your question!

Definitely. I travel with it regularly and haven't had any trouble. Fits nicely in the overhead or under the seat.
