Only carseat that will fit in the back of a extended cab pickup, September 10, 2008
This review is from: Graco Platinum CarGo Booster Car Seat Sydney (Baby Product)
We bought this carseat after a long search and talking to several people at baby stores. It is the only seat that we have found at any price that will actually fit in on the back bench seat of a extended cab pickup truck. We don't use it very much, only a few times a week, but it has held up well over about 2 years or so, including shipping it on an airline (and we all know how well THOSE guys like to treat things). Haven't had a problem yet. And honestly, even if we did I would be forced to buy it again because, like I said, it is the only one that fits properly in the back of the truck...

Functionally good, but the styrofoam padding breaks easily, August 20, 2008
This review is from: Graco Platinum CarGo Booster Car Seat Sydney (Baby Product)
I've had the Graco Cargo Platinum for about 2 years now - got it for my son when he was about 2-1/2. Pluses: Comfy for the child Removable cup/toy holders. Reasonable cost Lightweight Decent looking Cover comes off so it can be cleaned easily. Buckles operate & adjust easily. Minus: We've had to replace the styrofoam padding twice on this seat because it got broken, probably from flexing as the child climbs in and gets in position. Behind the cover is a U-shaped piece of styrofoam (um, "EPS energy absorbing foam"), covering the back and wrapping the around the side bolsters. So when the child grabs onto the sides they may flex and break. The replacement cost from Graco is reasonable - about $15 - but it seems that such a safety-related part shouldn't be so fragile in normal usage.

I highly recommend this seat...., July 10, 2008
This review is from: Graco Platinum CarGo Booster Car Seat Sydney (Baby Product)
My children have just outgrown this seat (height wise not weight wise). I purchased 2 of this style seat in 2004 and am so pleased with the quality and durability, I had to write a review. Back in 2004, I researched this seat in consumer reports and it received a great rating back then. I am glad to see that Graco is continuing to offer this seat now. You won't be dissapointed. My children were very comfortable and I felt they were safe and secure. I liked how high the sides come up for when they fell asleep. It supported their head and helped to prevent the head bob. I used the snooze bar all the time. It gave the seat just enough recline to be extra comfortable. The cup holder and basket were extremely handy. I am passing these seats on to a relative because they are in great condition and have a ton of life left in them. I just cleaned them up once again. I take it completely apart. I washed the cushion section in the washing machine (don't put it in the dryer). It came out like new. I hand washed everything else. It is also easy to put back together. I must say after all these years it looks like new. I am sorry to see them go. Thank you Graco for developing a great product. By the way, I just purchased the Graco backless turbo booster seats to replace these seats. My children really like these too.
