great seat!, November 15, 2009

My son loves his new chair. He sits up higher and is able to see out of the windows. The only problem that I came across: Although he meets the height requirements, the seat belt still hits him wrong and hurts. I have to readjust it so that it wont rub him on his neck and cause a rash. I would reccommend that the child be taller by about 4 inches or so than the company suggests. Very durable, light weight and easy to manuver... a bit of a pain to put together!

Good seat, October 24, 2009

We bought this seat for out 5 and half yr old who is about 50lbs very tall little girl. We kept her in here 5 point still she was 50lbs even tho her seat can go to 25 to 80 we are having a third child and her little sisters Britax Boulvard for that baby and she'll move to oldest ones Frontier that goes up to 80 - 100 lbs. With so many seats that go up to 60 plus pounds for a 5 point there is no reason to move a child to a booster who is less then 50lbs. I love this seat its great for the price and she can use the back till she is 100lbs safest place for any kid is in a car seat and a 5 point as long as possible. When they are ready for there booster i think this is a great seat and easy to use. comes clean great in the wash as needed. The headrest slides easy so sometimes if u hit the red lever when placing kids in out of the car i have to fix it. I would like to have more padding in the seat for them since both of their britax have more then this one. But this is comparable to the Britax one so if u have big kids or extra room i would go for the britax one. But having place three car seats right next to each other we needed a bit of a smaller seat till we move back to the states in 6 months till we get our mini van and if i still think My 5 yr old who well be 6 in a few months still need her britax ill more then likely switch back and get a sec boulvard for our new baby and let the three yr old stay in her Boulvard.

Great seat when they are ready to move up, October 22, 2009
This is a really comfy seat for a kid and my daughter likes the "pink" It is starting to get a little dirty. We washed it just fine but the white parts aren't as white anymore. No problems with this seat at all.
Great product for a great price, October 21, 2009
Love the color and the feel of this. My daughter enjoys it so much. She keeps her juice in the slot allocated and she is really having fun in this seat! Wonderful product
Wonderful car seat, October 19, 2009
This seat has all the regular features of a booster seat for younger/llighter children with a beautiful, fun hot pink, butterfly design. My three year old daughter loves it.
