3.0 out of 5 stars There are better options., November 18, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

We've had this seat since our son went forward facing at 26 lbs and 1 year old. He's turning 3 in about a week. It is not legal for our state to have him in a booster seat at this time, but he has already outgrown BOTH the harness weight limit (40 lbs) and the harness height restriction (15.5"ish torso).

So, if your kid is anywhere near the top of the curve for height/weight or both - you need a different seat. When he's old enough (4 years old) to use the seat as a booster that'll work, but the seat I'm going to have to buy now (and should have bought in the first place - Graco's Nautilus) will also be a booster.

The Nautilus has a 65 lb. harness weight limit and the torso height (NOT OVERALL HEIGHT) limit is 18.5"ish. So by the time my son's TORSO grows another 2 inches (not sure how many inches of torso growth translate to overall height growth), he'll definitely be at least 4 and legal for a booster.

If I'd only known....

MMK Irish ""frugal mom"" (waxhaw,NC USA) - See all my reviews

We got this seat for our son when he was 18 months and still is in good shape. He is almost 3 years now and uses the seat as a booster seat.

Cons:

It takes a lot of space in our suv.

It is no easy to put a part to wash.

Pros:

Good quality

Good use for the money

Easy to use and install as a booster seat

This review is from: Safety 1st: Eddie Bauer Deluxe 3-in-1 Car Seat (Baby Product)

We bought this seat for our daughter when she was about seven months old. At just over four years old, she's still using it! It's really comfortable for the child; she loves it. We planned to keep it around for her to use as a belt-positioning booster, but it looks like she's going to outgrow the height limit on this seat before she's heavy enough to use it as a booster.

BE WARNED

- It's a huge undertaking to take this seat apart for cleaning. If it were easier to clean, I'd give it five stars in a heartbeat.
