Britax Parkway Booster Car Seat Tiffany

0 comments

I bought this seat because it has a head rest so that when my 2 year old sits in it and falls asleep, he head doesnt fall. I never thought this seat would be so awesome! The headrest adjusts to a growing kid, and the seat is so soft and comfortable. The only bad thing is i dont have another little girl to pass this car seat down too, so i wish they made different covers for it.Buy Britax Parkway Booster Car Seat Tiffany!

Britax Monarch Booster Car Seat Pink Racer

My six year loves this seat! We needed to upgrade last year as my son was getting to big for the 5 point harness Britax seat. Can't remember the name of it, but it is also a great seat! We have really enjoyed all of the britax seats we have had. They all seem to be well made, easy to use and very comfotable.
My son really likes this one for longer rides in the car. It is very roomy and helps hold his head up when he falls asleep in the car. He is not a small boy either and still has plenty of room. The base comes apart from the back easily if needed. He likes the arm rests and the fact that he can buckle with the big buckle now.
The only draw back to the seat is the base is wide and so in my husbands (chevy impala)the seat teeters a bit in the center of the bench. I think chevy made a high point in the bench seat and so going around corners with the seat installed can be a little disconserting for my son. We countered the effect by opening up the cup holders which helps the seat maintain balance, but I don't think the cup holders were designed for that. So we opted to just use it in our minivan. We spend more time in the van anyway. As for the impala its mainly for quick trips so we opted for a cheep booster with a smaller base and that one fits great in his car.
On a whole we love the britax booster. Very comfortable and much prettier in real life. And worth the money! Buy Britax Monarch Booster Car Seat Pink Racer!

Graco Air Booster Car Seat - George

0 comments

We love this seat. We have two (one in each car) and have been using them for 4 weeks now. Since children in Michigan (and many other states) have to be in boosters so long, we decided to spend the extra money on a more expensive seat (this one) and we have nothing but great things to say about it. It is easy to use and my daughter feels secure in it. I look forward to using it in the summer to see how much difference the mesh makes with the sweating factor.Buy Graco Air Booster Car Seat - George!

Compass Deluxe Folding Adjustable Booster Car Seat - Aspen

0 comments

I thought I had adequately done my research when I ordered this seat. It got rave reviews from both individuals and in safety testers. I was especially looking for one that had head support, and this one was described as having a deep head rest. However, I was disappointed when I finally used it. The first and only day I used it, my family had a long drive home from grandma's one night and the kids fell asleep. I turned around and found my son slumped over and falling out of the seat. He had his seat belt on and was originally upright, but the head rest and sides of the seat were not enough to support him. I kept trying to prop him back up, but there simply wasn't enough support in the seat. I immediately removed the seat and returned it. I've since ordered another seat by Sunshine Kids. It was the closest thing I could find to the Britax Parkway, which my older son has. Apparently, Britax stopped making that seat, so I tried to find something comparable w/o having to pay hundreds of dollars. The seat I bought by Sunshine is available on Amazon as well. The Sunshine seat has side panels that stick out farther (deeper) and a head rest which is more narrow and cradles the head, should the child fall asleep. It does cost more than this one, but it's worth it to me.Buy Compass Deluxe Folding Adjustable Booster Car Seat - Aspen!

The First Years Compass Folding Booster Car Seat - True Blue

0 comments

We've been using this for about a year and it is simply great. It's light, it's easy. If you have to take it out of the car and put it back it, there's nothing to it. And it's supereasy to strap the kid in. It has little cupholders that may be used for miniature toys, pet spiders (!), etc. and it provides a very good sleeping environment. Our three-year-old didn't used to fall asleep in the car, but he does with this. And though it's really sturdy, it's light enough that we just detach it and carry him into the house while still sleeping in the seat. It also folds up which is great if you have to fly with it. In short, this seat is a total winner!Buy The First Years Compass Folding Booster Car Seat - True Blue!

This is a very user friendly car seat. Materials appear to be durable. Belts get tangled up less than most seats I've seen. Would prefer a better selection of colors... but for the price, who can complain. I recommend this item.Buy Cosco High Back Booster Car Seat!

Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore

0 comments

I have been a big Britax fan for the past 5 years, owning 2 Marathons over that time. I aged up to the Frontier about 5 months ago when my daughter approached 40lbs. The construction is good and I feel confident that these would hold up in an accident.

There are only 2 reasons why I give the Frontier 4 instead of 5 stars. One, it was recalled at the first of the year. Britax issued a small part to correct it, but it does make one wonder a bit of course. Two, they can not build a car seat where the straps don't get twisted. I've seen other reviewers complain so I know I'm not alone. I prayed the Frontier would be a better design, but alas, my straps actually look worse on the Frontier for my 5 year old than they do for my 2.5 year old in the Marathon. Regardless of the strap frustration, I still like the seat and the 5 point harness since my child is not a big 5 year old.Buy Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore!

Combi Dakota Backless Booster Seat Pewter

0 comments

Purchased this for my husbands new car after discovering that the original seat we had did not fit properly. We had a Turbo booster (graco) that quite honestly did not fit all that great in our old car (Honda Accord) but was terrible in the new car (Infiniti). The Combi fits perfect in the seats. It is actually recommended by the manufacturer which we found out after the fact. It is not as square and boxy so it fits better into a "bucket" style seat. We don't have these issues with our mini van because the seats are more square and flat in the back. It does work nicely in our van too, FYI. Buy Combi Dakota Backless Booster Seat Pewter!

Combi Kobuk Booster Seat Black Opal

0 comments

I waited as long as I could to switch to a booster seat from a Britax 5 harness car seat. The Combi Kobuk appears to be very sturdy. The wrap around head support is a plus not only for naps, but for added protection...and the adjustable cup holder is great! The seat is also easy to transfer to other vehicles if needed. We have only used it for a month - but so far, I support a high recommendation for this product.Buy Combi Kobuk Booster Seat Black Opal!

Munchkin Auto Seat Protector

This appears to be a durable product and does a fine job of protecting my car's seat from the booster itself. However, I wish it were wider so as to cover more of the car's seat to protect the upholstery from little feet as well, since my child uses the outside edge of the car's seat to climb up into his booster.Buy Munchkin Auto Seat Protector!

Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat in Matrix

Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat in Matrix This is the best seat! I love the 3 in 1, the fact it harnesses longer than most seats, and that it later will transition into the booster seat. My son loves his new seat and calls it his "race car" seat b/c of it's design. I'd highly recommend this seat to anyone with a child about to outgrow the convertable seats that only harness up to 40 lbs. Extended rear facing and extended harnessing is the safest way!Buy Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat in Matrix!

I like the booster so far. Though I don't sit on it, I imagine it is quite comfortable. My 3 year old loved moving to the big boy chair. He hadn't sat in it for more than 5 minutes and he had already christened it! If I had gotten a cloth seat of some sort it would have been a big mess. This was the easiest clean-up imaginable. I would recommend also getting a seat protector from Lion Heart. What went straight through the chair was captured by this protector and was so easy to clean up. So, it was nice to know that the chair already paid for itself in ease of operation and clean-up. Along with the seat protector, it saved my leather seats. I imagine it will be considerably less hot in the hot Texas sun as well. A good buy so far. We got two!Buy Graco AirBooster Youth Car Seat in Cafe Brown!

Graco TurboBooster Car Seat - Hearts Delight

0 comments

My 3 ½ year old was ready for a "big girl car seat," so my husband and I did our research. After reading everything we could find on the subject, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the GRACO TURBOBOOSTER CAR SEAT is not only one of the highest rated by Consumer Reports, it also is very reasonably priced! And to top it off, it is available in a wide range of colors, which allowed my wee one to pick exactly the car seat she wanted.

The GRACO TURBOBOOSTER CAR SEAT is actually two booster seats in one: a high-backed booster seat for kids three years old and at least 38 inches and 30 pounds, and a backless booster for kids 4 to 10 years old and at least 40 inches and 40 pounds. It is very easy to convert between the two modes, and the convertible feature adds to the over all value by extending the life of your purchase.

The GRACO TURBOBOOSTER CAR SEAT has many great safety features including a height adjustable head support that grows with your child, a seat belt guide that properly positions the car seat belt on your child's shoulder, and an EPS energy absorbing foam liner. The seat also has a number of convenience features such as padded, height adjustable armrests, hide away cup holders, two reclining positions, and a seat cover that is easily removed for machine washing.

The GRACO TURBOBOOSTER CAR SEAT assembles effortlessly and is a snap to install. Your car's seat belt locks the seat into place; there is very little movement once my daughter is properly strapped in. The seat is apparently very comfortable; my daughter falls asleep quite easily, and maintains an upright position. The padded head positioner, which looks like the "wings" on a wing chair, keeps her from slumping. Overall, if you follow the age, height, and weight guidelines, follow the installation instructions, and check the proper positioning and tightness of the seat belt EVERY TIME you buckle your child in, your big kid will be safe and comfortable.

Of course, in my daughter's eyes, the best part was getting to choose the color herself. She chose HEARTS DELIGHT - very pink and covered in hearts with crowns, princesses, and other fun, totally girly things. She loves it, and is very proud that she got to pick it out. Safe, comfy, and happy...what more could you ask for? Buy Graco TurboBooster Car Seat - Hearts Delight!

So far, this booster works fine. My 3 year old likes it and it keeps the seat belt positioned correctly. We bought this to add to our 3 car seats. We have 1 in each of our 2 cars for our 15 month old (she inherited one of his car seats), and needed the booster so we would have one in each car for our son.

We have had a problem with him getting out of the seat belt while driving but that is not a malfunction of the booster, just training our child to not take his arm out of the shoulder belt while the car is moving. Definitely worth the price and I would purchase it again but our son will remain in his 5 point harness car seat for the majority of his car trips.Buy Graco High Back TurboBooster Car Seat, Wander!
