I bought two of these for my son - he insisted on a seat that looked good. At the same time, I bought my daughter 2 Graco Turbo Boosters. I do not like these seats. First, the arm rests are not adjustable and since they're so low it's difficult to get the seatbelt under the arms appropriately. But the worst feature is that the seat is too narrow. My son leans over to pick something up, the seat tips. We drive around a curve, the seat tips. I got so tired of telling my son to 'sit up straight' because the seat was leaning that I went and bought him 2 Graco Turbo Boosters. SO MUCH BETTER! No more leaning seats every time he moves an inch.

The ONLY thing I would recommend this seat for was if it was going to be in between two other carseats or boosters - they would help keep the seat in place better.

More narrow than graco turbobooster which is what we needed. Much more plush than it looks in the pictures. No cup holders or anything, but my son really likes it.

Great booster. Nice fabric and color. The side are great on the headrest if your child falls asleep in the car. The top comes off the base so you can use only the base piece when your child is older.

really love this booster seat ~ it's simple, sporty & has a beautiful contemporary look. i'm very much not into flowery things and sometimes when searching for infant/toddler items it's not easy to find things that look a little more grown up. my son is very tall and he loves the headrest ~ very easy to adjust. he can easily maneuver in & out and in fact, handles the whole thing himself now. a real relief.

my daughter finally outgrew her britax roundabout at age 4 1/2, but she was still just over 30 lbs (she is small). She didn't want to sit in a "baby" car seat like the marathon since all of her kindergartner friends were no longer doing so, but was still too light for some of the other boosters. This was the perfect seat for her. it's lightweight, not too big, and takes up way less space than the marathon or roundabout. she sits comfortably in it, and we've never had any problems with it tipping over. I'm buying another one for trips to grandma's house. it's stylish and well made.

Bought this seat for our 5 year old. Bought it mostly for looks because she loved the color. But also had good reviews.

Wasn't sure about the large "wings" at the top, thought maybe would be uncomfortable. But that wasn't the case. In fact, they work great if she falls asleep, gives her a place to rest her head. More importantly, I found out that they are designed for increasing protection during side collisions. That is even better.

I wish the arms were a little higher but not a deal breaker. Have had no problem using the belt under the arms or in the upper belt guide.

Most importantly, my daughter seems comfortable & likes riding in it.

We bought this car seat to use while on holiday in the USA. It was perfect. Light weight, yet sturdy enough to trust. We actually have the more advanced model (XR Rodi) for everyday use, which has an adjustable head rest.

Fits well in the Passat.
Some complained that the seatbelt gets stuck. This is true.
That said, my daughter loves the color.
The fabric on the armrests make it less hot in the sun.
The top keep her head from falling when she falls asleep in the car. Much better than Evenflo from that perspective.
Top is adjustable in height as well.
When you take it out, the top will easily disconnect form the bottom, so, you need both hands: One for the bottom and one for the top.
Padding is also great (one thinks that kids can't tell the difference, but they really do when they upgrade from $40 Evenflo solutions and tell about it).
So, I'll live with the belt inconvenience and focus on the improvements over the Evenflo solutions.
