Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm one of those parents who worries. All.the.time. So, I hemmed and hawed about moving my almost 6 year old (yes, I know) to a booster instead of a 5-point harness carseat. As you can imagine, that are roughly 8,000 booster seats to choose from. I decided to purchase this one for several reasons: 1. It got good reviews, consistently 2. It had a back; I didn't want to get a backless booster. But, it also converts to a backless booster for when my daughter gets older. 3. It utilized the LATCH system as an additional precaution. I know that securing a booster seat with the LATCH system isn't really necessary because the seat belt should keep the seat in place. However, I'm a nervous Nelly and felt that this would be a more secure booster. It was easy to assemble (all you have to do is put the arms, cup holder, and back on) and then put it in the car. My daughter loves this seat. She thinks it's comfortable and she loves being able to wear a seat belt like mommy and daddy. She also is pleased that she can buckle and unbuckle herself. My husband also said it was easy to install. The only downsides to it are minor ones. I really wish the seat had cup holders on both sides. The reason for that is we have her car seat on the right side of the car. The cup holder is also on the right side. That means that she bumps into whatever is in the cup holder when she gets in and out of the car. There is a little drawer on the left hand side of the seat, but it's hard to open and close and, frankly, is a little too small to hold much of anything. Also, I really wish the colors were more vibrant. The purple is brighter in person than on the screen, but it's still very subdued. But, overall, I'm very happy with this purchase, as is my daughter who uses it every day.
