2.0 out of 5 stars OK - Seat, November 9, 2006

I was disappointed that the cup holders come off too easy, they button onto the car seat and it isn't strong enough so when my boys try to stuff their juice or water in them they snap right back off. The are no longer attached to the seats because I refuse to keep putting them back on.

I guess this seat is okay, it is nice and plush but the downside to getting a backless seat (which I didn't think about before I purchased this) was the fact that the kids can't fall asleep in these seats. My kids like I am sure most kids are when they go for a drive the motion knocks them right out. But because there is nothing to support their head and neck they slump over and are very uncomfortable so they usually don't fall asleep unless they are just really beat and then I worry because I don't want them to get a crook in their neck.

I can say that this seat is very lightweight which is a big change coming from the regular child seat.

5.0 out of 5 stars easy-to-use, ultra-lightweight booster, February 2, 2009

By

This review is from: Combi Dakota Backless Booster Seat Marina (Baby Product)

Bought this booster for Zipcars and taxis, fully expecting to use the Graco Turbobooster in our car. Forget it. The Graco is a pain. The seatbelt locks in the shoulder loop and has be unthreaded and rethreaded every time. The shape of the base makes it hard to buckle the seatbelt while leaning over the kid's lap. Picture yourself digging around under the edge of a hard plastic carseat while your child yells in your ear. The Combi booster is sloped at the bottom, so buckling is a breeze. Plus it weighs next to nothing. My 4-year-old can carry it to and from the Zipcar. FANTASTIC seat.

2.0 out of 5 stars not enough padding, July 23, 2007

I bought this booster for my 6 year old and he said that it is OK, but not nearly as comfortable as the Graco Turbo (no back) booster we have in our second car. The padding is pretty minimal, so I am returning it for another Graco.
