  Convertible Car Seats: Reviews, Best Convertible Car Seats
Car seat reviews say the Britax Boulevard is larger and bulkier than many car seats, but unlike most other convertible car seats, the Boulevard is rated for kids up to 65 pounds (most seats only accommodate kids up to 40 pounds), so this seat can be used much longer.
The second and generally intended purpose of convertible car seats is to hold children who are too large for an infant car seat, yet are still under a year old and need to be rear-facing in the car.
Convertible car seats can face the rear until the child is of the right height and weight, at which time they can be switched around (or converted) to face the front.

 Convertible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike a roadster, which may also have a soft folding top, a convertible has roll-up glass windows in the sides, and so the entire vehicle is "convertible" to an enclosed coupé.
Later, convertibles were made less often, possibly due in part to an unfulfilled threat made in the mid-1970s by the United States government to increase rollover safety requirements that may have made auto manufacturers hesitant to manufacture cars that would be unsellable under those new restrictions.
It was not until the 1980s and cars like the Chrysler LeBaron and Saab 900 convertibles that the body style made a comeback.

 Luxury Car Rental - BMW 645Ci Sport Convertible - Convertible Car Rental
It's been a long time since BMW had a coupe, let alone a convertible, that could be rightfully called aspirational, while cars like the Mercedes-Benz SL and Jaguar XK reigned supreme in the high-end convertible market.
With its sultry lines, sports car performance and uniquely configured soft top, the 645Ci looks as though it was designed with enough personality to make up for all that lost time.
It's a grand touring car in the most traditional sense, but there's nothing traditional in the way it goes about delivering on that promise.

 1969 Camaro Convertible Restoration - Car Craft Magazine
It is said that every car has a personality and that the personality develops further with every experiance you have with that car.
This is when we removed both the front subframe and the rearend and springs, relegating the car to a roll-around stand.
While most people have great memories, such as meeting their soul mate in their car, or driving cross-country in their '32 roadster, most of my memories are scarier than the latest M. Night Shyamalan movie.

 Ford Mustang GT Convertible - - Car and Driver - June 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: )
We suppose that on smooth pavement a Mustang GT coupe could be hustled around a given stretch a little quicker than the convertible, with a little less body roll.
The convertible pulled a modest 0.82 g on the skidpad, for example, considerably less than either of the coupes we've tested.
But even with an as-tested price of $34,080, this car is an unbeatable value—lots of performance in a gorgeous four-seat package that plucks the nostalgia strings of everyone who sees it, whether they remember the '64 original or not.

 1998 Corvette Convertible Car Reviews - The Car Connection
An undeniable benefit of the car's extended rump is the size of the trunk.
Besides the longer wheelbase, a key factor in the car's newfound cabin comfort is the adoption of a rear transaxle.
The convertible's powertrain has the same 345 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque as the coupe's, so performance is comparable.

 2005 Corvette Convertible Pace Car At The Indianapolis 500   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Because the production Corvette is so racing-ready with 400 horsepower capable of 186 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds, class-leading aerodynamics, a suspension that can handle.98 Gs in cornering situations and large 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, few changes were made to prepare it for this year's role.
During the last three Indy 500 races, for example, the Chevy pace vehicles led the field for a combined 140 laps (350 miles) of the total 600 race laps (1,500 miles) and ran an average lap speed of 75 mph.
Even during green-flag race conditions, the pace cars patiently run at idle ready for action at a moment's notice.

 1969 Cadillac convertible "Stonewall Car"
The car was driven (not towed, as many think) by two un-uniformed N.Y.C.P.D. police officers to the old Sixth Precinct on Charles Street near the Hudson River in Greenwich Village.
A quarter-of-a-century later on January 1, 1994, the 1969 "Stonewall Car" officially was bestowed with "vintage" automobile status in accordance with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles' requirements and guidelines.
On "Stonewall Sunday", June 26, 1994, the "Stonewall Car" was in the New York Sunday News (with a circulation of nearly one million), describing the history of the car vis-a-vis the Stonewall Rebellion.

At $24,495 for the V-6, and $29,995 for the GT Deluxe, the Mustang Convertible is still a heck of a deal.

The rear window is relatively large for a fabric top car, while the new Mustang features full quarter windows, modest-size C-pillars and a full glass backlight, with a standard-equipment defroster.

I was very concerned about buying her car seat and wanted to get the safest possible model.
Another problem - all these Britax car seat covers (according to the Britax web site) aren't supposed to be machine washed, just hand washed, and frankly, if my child throws up/leaks/spills in the car seat and it needs washing, I don't particularly want to be doing that by hand, especially at this price.
I plan to use this rather than a booster seat so long as he falls into all the safe height and weight guidelines because it is safer because of it's support and 5pt harness.

Diesel power has been added to Volvo's new C70 convertible range, with the arrival of the 177bhp D5 engine.
Priced from £29,420 in Sport trim, the D5 is £3195 more than the 170bhp 2.4-litre petrol, but comes fitted with the Geartronic automatic transmission, which is a £1250 option on the petrol car.
Combined fuel consumption improves from 31.4mpg to 38.7mpg, while lower emissions means it's cheaper to run as a company car, despite its higher price tag.
