 Excellent Product! December 3, 2008
B. Hill (Phoenix, AZ)
This is a really great booster seat. It is very comfortable, well made, and has two (easy to clean) cupholders. The best part is that you can remove the fabric easily to launder - great value!
 Very little cushioning November 22, 2008
Tina Christensen (Bay area, CA USA)
This car seat is not good for long drives, which will be an issue for our drives from the bay area to the Sierras (3-4hr drive) This is the reason I gave it 3 stars.
I was originally going to buy this seat in the Chatter (Black,$19), but ended up buying the Baker (light blue, $25)since it looked like a newer model and was a little more expensive. The reason was that I had read that this car seat did not have much cushioning, but that reviewer thought the Nov 08 model was going to have that. I researched on the net for which model would be the new Nov 08 model, but wasn't able to find it. Therefore, I looked at the pics and price and took a chance that the Baker would be this newer model with more padding. I am sorry to say that I was wrong.
Got the seat and for the price it looks pretty good, but it really has NO PADDING. The only padding is what's used to sew the cover and it's THIN. This booster is going to have to be a "around town" booster, but I would not take it along for any long-drive vacation trips. Unless, of course, I can add some padding myself to the seat. I wish I would have just gotten the Chatter for less money.
Luckely I also have a Compass 510 that is excellent for long drives... I saw it got bad review in that carseat study. I went back out to our car to check if the lap belt really is too high up on the stomach on our child, and in our case/kid this is NOT a problem. I would just recommend to try whatever seat you get IN YOUR car with your child. Hope this review help you car-vacationers. =)
These are great November 22, 2008
Sherry (New York, NY)
We live in New York CIty and need boosters that travel well as we are often in car services and friends cars instead of our own.These are great! they install in a snap. seem truly secure since ultimately they allow the kids to use the car safety belts, and they are light enough to tote around when we have to. I am very happy with this purchase.
2008 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Best Bet booster! October 27, 2008
H. Sapiens (Sacramento, CA United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This was one of the top 10 boosters rated by a 10/1/08 report by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety report. Who am I to argue? We previously were using the Cosco Alpha Omega Elite Convertible Car Seat, which as a booster was giving us some problems (the lap belt was not lying flat on her thighs). I researched the seat and found out it was no longer scoring well for a booster for this reason. Sad because we loved this seat! In addition, she could not hook it herself.
So, our requirements were 1) lightweight seat, 2) easy buckling, 3) ability to adjust for multiple cars (e.g. we want to know the seatbelt will be positioned properly), 4) cupholder
The multiple designs, adjustable armrests, and cupholders on EACH side were bonuses.
Here's what we like:
-It's lightweight, can be easily buckled, there is an adjuster strap that attaches like a tether to either side of the seat - it has a clip to hold the seatbelt down and away from the neck
Here's what we don't like:
-The cupholders are sturdy and fairly easy to pull out (could be easier) but shallow.
-The armrests don't snap in as firmly as I would like - they are held in with plastic clips, which if bent, cause them to come out.
-While she seems comfy, there is little padding - the ones due out November 08 don't have the character designs but seem to sport more padding
