 Consumer Reports Gave it a 82 the Highest Review! December 28, 2006

I am very happy with this purchase. I am a Britax Mommy and have been since my son was born but just so happened to check Consumer Reports before I purchased his "Big Boy" seat and was glad I did.
They gave this seat the following review: Over all score 82 (the highest of any booster seat) Graco TurboBooster 8493 TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8496 $50, TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8497 $50,TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8498 $50,TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8673 $60,TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8674 $70
This seat is actually several models but this one that I purchased allows for the back of the seat to detach when they are older and no longer need the back. It also comes with a neck pillow. Unfortunately I did not get this in my box and simply called GRACO and they sent one right out to me. Excellent customer service!
My son is not yet 3 years old but exceeds the mandatory weight and height limits to use the seat. He is not a large child but fits perfectly in it. I have posted his photo in the seat so that you can judge for yourself on the sizing.
From one Britax mother to another don't spend the extra money on the name. Britax did not even make the Consumer Reports list. I am pleased and I am also very concerned with my son's safety that is why I always purchased Britax. This time GRACO came out tops!
As far as my son being comfortable he is able to be free in his seat and still be safe. He can reach his toys and he can also nap comfortably. He dies not complain at all now that we have the new seat. I personally made a wise decision. The seat also fits great in my Xterra and both cup holders on the seat can be pulled out with east for snacks and drinks. I am however worried about cleaning them when they get dirty. It looks as if it will be a tedious job.
 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.

Rarely have i bought a product that I was so unhappy with. This is the fourth car seat we have bought, so we have some experience, and while there were pluses and minuses to all of them, this one is just terrible. It wobbles around on the seat, and does not sit securely. But apparantly it is designed that way and people are comfortable with it... But the worst part is that because we have safety seat belts (a Honda CRV) that won't pull out unless they are fully threaded back in first, the design of this makes it impossible to use - you have to semi-permanently thread the strap through a loop, so it can never fully retract. And so you spend a LOT of time yanking, trying to tilt the seat toward where the strap rethreads, etc., so that you can pull it long enought to wrap around your child. Grr. So annoying. This one is definately going back!
Great Booster! June 26, 2007

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.
