Consumer Reports Gave it a 82 the Highest Review!

Reviewer: Jirka,

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.

Perfect!

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.

Great Booster!

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.

Considered the safest on the market

This seat is easy to secure in the car, has a high back for additional support, two arm rest for comfort and two cup holders for convience. Test show this to be one of the top seats manufactured. I give it a thumbs up.

Safe, Adorable, Afforable, plus my daughter Loves it!

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!
