Graco's Commitment to Safety

In addition to meeting or exceeding all US safety standards, the Highback TurboBooster has been side impact tested for occupant retention with a standard vehicle harness system in high back belt positioning booster mode to keep your child secure in a side-impact collision. This car seat features EPS, energy absorbing foam for effective energy management in the event of collision.

2-in-1 Design Keeps Children Safer Longer

As a seat both parents and kids can agree on, the Highback TurboBooster can accommodate children up to 57 inches tall. The height adjustable headrest and armrests allow this seat to adapt to your growing child at each stage and help you get a proper fit.

The TurboBooster can be used in high back booster mode for children 3 to 10 years old, 30 to 100 pounds, and 38 to 57 inches tall. It can be used as a backless belt-positioning booster for children 4 to 10 years old, 40 to 100 pounds, and 40 to 57 inches tall.

The American Pediatric Association recommends that you keep children in a belt-positioning booster until they reach 4 feet 9 inches tall when they can safely use your vehicle's seatbelt unassisted.

Machine-Washable Seat Cushion for Easy Cleanup

Dual Cup Holders for On-the-Go Drinks

Dual hide-away cup holders keep your child's favorite beverages within easy reach to keep them comfortable on even the longest journeys. When your child is not using them, the cup holders can be hidden away giving you more space in your vehicle.

5.0 out of 5 stars All good. Narrowest booster seat around with good rating July 28, 2011

By V. Lo

Color Name:Spitfire|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought it because it is recommended by Consumer Reports and also it is probably the narrowest booster seat out there with good test results. My child is happy with it. Oh, and the price is right too, much cheaper than Britax which I also have for my other child. Comparing between the two of them, the Britax probably has slightly better fabric, but in terms of cushioning, I find them pretty much the same.

4.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE READ: THIS SEAT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR CHILD January 9, 2013

By bens mom

Color Name:Spitfire

I am an RN and a Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (I work at Childrens' Hospital in OK) and want to point out that these are WONDERFUL booster seats.
However, this is NOT an appropriate seat for any child below the age of 5-6 regardless of their weight/height.

I realize on the product description that they say this item is approved for children as young as three. They need to change this immediately! Children as young as three are not physically or developmentally ready for a booster. They are likely to climb out, or unbuckle themselves, or move the shoulder strap behind their back which is very dangerous. (You will notice that all new cars that are manufactured now no longer have lap belts only as they are so unsafe)

Children that are less than 5-6 can be seriously injured if riding in any kind of booster seat. They need to be in a five point harness still. Their skeletons are too fragile for a the "three point harness" of an adult seatbelt- a five point harness spreads crash forces over a larger, stronger portions of the body (shoulders, hips, crotch- where there are strong bones) and an adult seatbelt, even when the child is in a booster, crosses their abdomen too much instead of their hips. If you were to get into a crash, many of their internal organs in their abdomen could be lacerated (cut into internally) and they could bleed to death inside in a matter of minutes.
I really hope you will consider keeping your young children, who I am sure you adore and love very much, in a five point harness. There are many on the market that have higher weight limits (All that I have listed here go up to 50, 60, 65, 70, or even 80 pounds)these days... Britax Frontier, Diono Radian, Graco MyRide, Graco Size4Me, Britax Marathon, Evenflo Maestro just to name a few.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great seat with 2 design flaws March 14, 2011

By L. Christie

Color Name:Megan

So overall, this is a good product. It has extremely high safety rating (which was the most important part to me) and it definately aligns the seatbelt where it needs to be. It's also super cute and my daughter says it's comfortable. For that I give it a 5. However, there are 2 design flaws - first is that the arm rest is fixed so my child cannot buckle herself in as the arm rest blocks her ability to do so. Second is that the guide where the seat belt goes through (the shoulder guide) is a total pain in the you know what to put the seat belt through...and you cannot leave the seat belt in this guide: you have to take it out each time to retract the seatbelt and then after you reach over to lock your kids seatbelt (because they can't do it themselves) you then have to reguide it through. Overall, I'm happy with the seat because it's SAFE and cute (and my child loves the cup holders...) but I wish it was a little more "parent-user friendly".
