After much research, I am again purchasing this car seat to replace the one I had. My 5 year old son and I were involved in a collision (icy roads, someone slid off a neighborhood street and I broadsided them), and the ins. co. is paying to replace the seat since it was in use at the time of impact. My son was not hurt in the least in this collision, #1 reason I am buying it again. It is difficult to move from one car to another, but I can deal with that. The main feature I love is I can use the 5 point harness up to 65 lbs. My son is 43 1/2 inches tall and 38.8 lbs, so I will still get a lot of use out of the 5 point harness, then I will be able to use it as an acutal booster till he is 100 lbs. or 57 inches tall. And price comparatively, it is actually less than some of the convertible car seats that I would not be able to use as long.

I was all set to get a booster seat for my daughter when she turned five. But after doing the research, I decided that it would be safer to keep her in a five-point harness for as long as possible. I found that this seat harnessed at a higher weight for a more reasonable price than other seats that also harnessed at higher weights. I noticed that it is no longer available. My next choice would have been the Graco Nautilus.

I bought this car seat for my 4 year old son who is tall for his age and weighs 52lbs. We needed the harness style for my husband's truck and trying to find a harnessed car seat for a kid my son's size was almost impossible. Then I found this car seat. My son loves it. He fits in it very comfortably and there is plenty of growing room. I highly recommened this seat for anyone, but especially for larger toddlers.

We got this for my son who is 5 but only 38 lbs. We needed another seat for him because he is too tall and almost outweighs the one we have. So far we like it alot.
