Finding a suitable child restraint system when baby outgrows his infant car seat is much easier with the Cosco high back booster car seat. Although car seat laws vary f… More >>
I have been reviewing booster car seats because my 3 year old’s Century seat is about to expire so she needs a new seat. She is not yet tall or heavy enough to have just the belt positioning–she still needs a harness. I am a little disturbed to read that some reviews state you can go from an infant seat to this booster seat. so please be aware of your baby’s size.
if your baby is under one year old they SHOULD NOT be in a seat like this. Babies 1 and under should still be rear facing EVEN IF they are over 20lb; the rule is 20lb AND 12 mths old. These types of boosters are made to go forward only. and the height restrictions on these seats are important. even though alot of these types of boosters state 20-40 lbs. the height restrictions usually start around 34-35″. average toddlers meet the weight but NOT the height restrictions so BE careful.
there are many choices to choose from in the “convertible” type car seats. those are the seats that can go rear OR forward facing; made for babies too big for the infant carrier type seat, not tall enough for a booster, and the convertible usually go up to at least 40lb (many go up to 80lb) so your toddler has time to grow tall enough for a booster.
I know it can be inconvenient and frustrating to have to transition your kid through three seats and some can’t afford it. but it is worth your kids life. Luckily, there are some seats made that can take your baby from newborn all the way to belt positioning–these are called 3 in 1 seats. they are a bit more in the beginning but you use the seat for six years.
The only drawback is that research does show infants are safer in the infant carrier plus its nice not to wake your little one up getting out of the car. so maybe some people could just go from an infant carrier to a 3 in 1–then you only have to buy two seats for one kid.

I bought this for my granddaughter in my car, she is 8 months old and outgrew the infant seat, easy to put her in it and the plastic clasps make it so I can put her in immediately, metal clasps would burn her in the Florida heat. Very happy with this product.

A family friend bought us this booster as a gift because it has all of the features that she knew we were looking for in a booster. However, it is very difficult to adjust and the way it sits in our vehicle causes my son’s legs fall asleep every time he rides in it. The straps are dependent on each other, so as you try to loosen one side you have to tighten the other. It takes a lot of fussing around with to get the straps tightened securely. Our son is currently in an Evenflo Triumph and the knob tightening system on that is a pain also, so I think it is time to pay the price for a Britax, just for the ease of use. Luckily, the booster was purchased at Costco and they will take it back used and all for a cash refund!

Don’t waste your money on the more expensive seats. Once you transition from the infant seat (at around 8 to 9 months) this is the perfect choice. It has the 5 point harness system and then eventually moves up to being just a booster seat for when they get older. The price is great and the padding is decent. It seems to be holding up well with my active one year old. The color is great for boys and it also has a cup holder which is very convenient. Good value for your money.

I’m returning this car seat. After only using it twice, the belt clip pulled right out when I went to clip my child into the seat. I was disconcerted when it came out so easily and wondered how easily it might come out in an actual car accident. The manual tells you how to re-insert it, but the model I bought only has one slot for it, so there is no reason to make it easy to pull out (since it isn’t adjustable with multiple slots for different sized kids). I’m not taking my chances on this seat…
