On the Car seat, a couple have noted that car seats fit, but they seam to be forward facing. I refuse to turn our daughter around until she reaches the Britax Boulevard?s weight limit (33 lbs),

How old is your daughter? My son is nearing 3yo and is not 33lbs yet. I know for a FACT that if he were still facing rearwards at this point vehicle rides would be very, very unhappy events. I understand being a cautious parent but before you go nuts on this check with your Pediatrician. I have a feeling that he/she will proably say its okay for your daughter to be facing forward at the one year point.

Also remember that you are going to have this vehicle far longer than you are going to have that car seat, and that Britax makes a variety of seats. I've got a Britax in my H3 (although I can't remember the model, its a Marathon, I think) and it fits fine. I got the H3 after my son was turned to face forwards so I can't comment for sure on the rear facing fit, but I have a feeling that it would have.

At the worst take some car seats with you to the dealership. Stop at Babies R Us before you go and get one of every style and then return the ones that don't work. If the dealer doesn't like it just tell him that they just lost the sale. I have a feeling that all will be good.

Good luck in your decision.
