Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE: So the foam topper is indeed useless. It won't stay attached to the base. I don't think it would stay if place even if I had left the harness straps attached. I'm not subtracting from my review because it says right on the box that it can be used with or without the topper. But I would make it a point to say for what I'm getting (a hunk of plastic with some straps) I'd like it to have cost $5-$10 less that the $26 I paid. So I have three kids 4 years and under. I bought this to replace Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat, Green/Blue that my 2 year old was using as a booster that I wanted to put my 8 month old in because I was absolutely sick of washing his Chicco Caddy Hook On Chair, Red every stinking time he ate in it. The 2 year old wasn't quite ready to graduate to his 4 years old sister's booster Prince Lionheart Soft Booster Seat, Charcoal Grey so I figured this was a perfect transition seat because it doesn't come with unnecessary highchair tray accessories but still fastens to the chair for the added safety his age requires. During my install I found that the straps are too long to fasten tightly to my dining chair, a major con. I had to finagle one strap to shorten it but the other is still a little slack. I'm taking off a star for that. Also as you can see in the pictures I'll attach I opted to remove the three point harness so the interior foam piece is just kind of floating on top of the seat with no way to really secure it. This may be a pain in the butt or it may make it easier to clean by removing it and rinsing it out after each use, which when you have three kids eating, easy to clean is the name of the game. NOW if you're unlike me and not churning out kids like hot cakes, or even if you are like me and have multiple kids in my opinion the Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat, Green/Blue could really do the job of all three of the other seats I mentioned. I could have three of those for the same cost if not less than I've paid for all these others (and if you just have one kid the fisher price seat it potentially the only seat they'd ever need) and the only down side is you'd have a lot of trays and covers laying around as your kids get older. So this booster does have my endorsement, for now, as a good transition booster from a highchair but I wouldn't recommend it over the fisher price.
