In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on. What's in the Box

 Nice comfy seat - keeps seatbelt in place December 18, 2006

I own this seat for my son who is age 6. It is the law in my state that children must in a booster or car seat until age 8. The seat material is high quality and the cushioning is very comfotable. The headrest is perfect for long trips since my son can fall asleep without an annoying crick in his neck. The price is decent too.
The only issue I have with this seat is the cupholders. If you have a regular sedan and want to fit others in your car, the cupholders aren't very usable. Additionally, the cupholders don't slide out very well when the child is sitting in the seat. Personally, I leave the cupholders pushed in. I have another carseat for a young infant in my sedan and must fit my 10-year old in the back seat.
I wish carseat and booster seat makers would instead make a mesh bag pocket hang right off the botton front for kid toys and such. Furthermore, with booster seats in general, I think they are very impractical for families who need to fit 3 kids across the backseat. My son has a very hard time buckling his seat belt because he must reach to the side where space is at a premium.
I would love a forward-facing booster seat with a 5-point harness that would lock into the LATCH loops for the older child. Not only is a 5-point seat harness safer but it is much easier for a child to buckle themselves instead of reaching around to the side.
As far as the options available for a child who has outgrown a convertible seat but is too small for a regular seat belt, this is a nice option.
 Perfect! February 15, 2007

This seat is so easy to put together, place in the vehicle and strap a child in to, it is definitely worth every penny. Safety ratings on this seat are great. It is also convenient that, when the child is old enough to move on to a booster without a backrest, the backrest is removable.
Our daughter loves the cupholders for snacks and drinks.
She also loves that she can climb in and out of the seat by herself, which is good for her self-confidence as she grows up.
We use this seat between 2 cars and it is easily removed and replaced with a simple slide of the seat belt. The seat is even color-coded to show where the belt should be placed across the shoulder and the waist.
Definitely a great product.
Safe, Adorable, Afforable, plus my daughter Loves it! May 31, 2007

I have owned a Graco booster seat before for my son (now 11) and we both loved it so much that when my daughter who is 3 1/2 started refusing to stay in her exspensive Britix Marathon carseat (She learned at age 3 to unbuckle it, so much for using it until she was 5. However she will sit on the regular carseat and does actually put on a seatbelt!) I decided it was time to get her a booster seat that can be used with a car seatbelt. So since it had been awhile since I bought one I researched boosterseats including Britix's, Graco, Cosco, etc and went to Babies-R-Us to have her sit in them. She always prefered the Graco no matter what the design pattern or brand. So based on that and because it has EPS foam, can withstand 2X the crash force of the car seat standard, it has a cute girly design she loves and it makes her feel more like a big girl and she'll actually stay in it I decided I would get a Graco boosterseat! I just refused to pay 59.99 (for the boyish pattern) or 69.99 (for the girly pattern) that they had a babies-R-us. I remembered the fairy tale print seat from when I had bought my son's 4 years ago and decided to google it and found it here for a very afforable price 49.99! E-bay states this is very hard to find, highly sought after design. Kmart is the only other place that I found that sells it, but it is only availble in store and costs 59.99 if you can find it! I had it shipped for free using standard delivery and I ordered it even thru it was back ordered on 05/26/07 and just received it today 05/31/07! Very fast shipping and they filled the order very quickly! My daughter loves her new seat thanks Amazon!

We are thrilled with this product. We had to buy three for our triplets and were just so happy with the price and very satisfied with the quality as well. The kids can buckle themselves in and those days of struggling with the harness for the car seat are over! Thank Goodness! No more twisted up belts, etc. These are great, washable covers, etc. They were simple to put together, minimal assembly and they are so easy to put in and out of the car. I definitely recommend them to any parent looking for a good deal with great value of product. You can't go wrong with this one.

My 3 & 4 year olds absolutely love their new "big boy" seats with their own cup holders. The seat gives a really nice support system using the in car seat belts. The head, neck and shoulders are all supported nicely. I would absolutely recommend this item to someone who is ready to upgrade from the baby seats.
