Normally people don't look for bargains when it comes to safety, let alone your child's safety. However, this is a bargain you cannot overlook. The Britax goes for $300, there are other models on Amazon and at Babies R US for $100. I got 3 of these for a little over $100! These days people with more than 1 car, and with family members aiding in child care can use more than 1 car seat.
So here are the facts, Consumer Reports rated the Cosco Protex a best buy, however that model is discontinued. So then I found the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety had the most recent reviews, December 2009. They rated the Cosco Pronto a "Best Buy". Here is the article I encourage people to do their own research. [...]

Basically with the booster seat you are elevating the child so that a shoulder seat belt with come across a child's shoulder. They are designed for children 30lbs to 100lbs. Now that state laws require children to be in booster seats longer this is nice because we will not have to buy anymore seats now we have this one.

The Cosco is simple and my daughter cannot get out of our car's seat belt once I pull it out all the way and have it lock into place. In her car seat she would take the shoulder harness off, making it less safe. So the fact that this is simple, the cloth parts can be removed to be washed, and we are utilizing the seat belt of our car which is stronger than any carseat belts, I definitely recommend this booster seat. Plus you can buy 3 of these for the price of 1 of the other brands.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for minivans, June 24, 2010

This review is from: Cosco Juvenile Pronto Belt Positioning Booster Seat, El-Dorado (Baby Product)

After I purchased 2 of these seats (one for our minivan and one for our sedan), I come to find out that it can't be used with seatbelts that come out of a side panel. Since all the seatbelts in our van come from the side (as opposed to behind the seat above each passenger as in our sedan) there is no location in the van appropriate for this seat. Luckily we made it work by using both boosters in the sedan and keeping our two convertible seats in the van, but we had wanted to have one of each in each vehicle. Since I'm pretty certain I'm not the only mom driving a minivan, I thought I should share the information.

We've been using the Cosco Pronto Belt Positioning Booster Seat for about a month now. It is easy to move from vehicle to vehicle and easily adjustable for height. It uses the existing vehicle seat belt and it appears comfortable enough - no complaint from our little passenger. She's even fallen asleep in it a couple times. She loves the cup holder and the seat really makes her feel like a "big girl". The fabric is easy to remove and is hand washable. I love the fact that we can now use our vehicle's 60-40 seat split since the seat fits easily within the seat belt space. Overall, very pleased with the product's looks, durability and functionality for the price - good value.
