Geanddaughters loves it

I liked the color and style of this car seat. The latches were super easy to hook onto the car latches to keep the seat in place when child climbs aboard. Also having the latches keeps seat secure when not using in the event of an accident the empty carseat would not toss around the car. This seat has to flexible rubber cup holders that can be depressed in if you are using multiple carseats like 3 across and need the extra space. I'm not sure 3 seats across would be able to latch depending on your style vehicle, the middle carseat may or may not have the capability to be attached with the latches. On the underside of the seat is the mesh strap and the plastic clip for the child's shoulder part of seatbelt to be adjusted. It is a nice compartment to store the plastic clip if not using or to keep it from being lost. There is also a nice slot to store the operation manual so it always stays with the seat unit. The seat has 2 cup holders so that is also a nice feature. I rate this a five star. We purchased a second seat for our other granddaughter. Please note the child needs to meet the height weight requirements IN ADDITION to the age 4 requirement. We also have a 2 and a half year old granddaughter that is big for her age and meets the height weight requirement but not the age . It is important to wait for her to use this since at age 2 she would have to use her own muscles and bone strength to keep her back strong enough to use this seat. There is no back.support other then your own vehicles back seat nor side support. So the child needs the skeletal support which at minimum is age 4. We use full car seats for the 4 year Olds to travel for daily support and thes boosters are used in a secondary car in my husband's vehicle in case he would need to pick up the girls in an emergency and still be secure. These car seats will be used daily later when they can no longer squeeze into the full car seat which will be in about a year.

Pros
  • Easy to install and remove, well Mad made
Cons
  • The lack of a recline feature may make it uncomfortable for children to sleep in the booster seat during long car trips
