5.0 out of 5 stars We survived a rollover accident with this seat. December 29, 2009

By Patrick J. Craft

Color Name:Baton Rouge

We survived a Highway rollover accident this summer with our 5 year old in this seat.

You never think it will happen to you.

And Suddenly in an explosion of violence it is happening.

Several of the emergency personnel independently commented on the Lifesaving aspect of his seat.

They also emphasized the word "Booster" should be completely eliminated from Marketing materials for Children car seats.

A Five point harness is the best way to keep a child stabilized in the physical violence of an accident.

The "booster"s essentially cut children in half internally.

Tell all of your friends.

We survived.

And we will never use anything but a five point harness.

There are models up to 65lbs and then you can switch to another product that goes up to 80lbs.

This seat saved his life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for city dwelling parents! February 11, 2010

By scanpennett

I LOVE THIS!!! We live in downtown Chicago and do not own a car. We usually use public transportation but, occasionally it's easier to take a cab (e.g. when going to the airport with all the luggage). I have looked EVERYWHERE for a "portable" car seat. Sunshine kids was just too heavy and did not fold small enough and our Safety 1st Tote n' Go (a backboard with a 5 point harness) was difficult to install, our son sat on an angle even when installed properly and overall it did not seem safe. I was a bit skeptical about this product - it was a bit pricey for something we will probably only use once a month or so but, my son's safety is priceless. I read the all the reviews I could find and called Safety 1st for more information on installation. I was sold when a NYC woman wrote about installing the seat in less than 90 seconds in cabs; time is precious when you are getting in and out of cabs and horns are honking at you.

The bag is fairly large (think bowling bag) but, there is a shoulder strap on the bag that does not show in the online pictures. The 9lb does not feel like 9lb - far less weight than a Graco infant seat. I'm 5'3" and it's easier to carry than my diaper bag over my shoulder. I usually take my Maclaren Quest when we use public transportation or a cab and I am able to hang the bag/booster on my Maclaren handlebars without it getting in the way of walking.

I read the instruction booklet front to back before our first trip in a cab. WOW! It really does install quickly - try 60 seconds or less! AND it is a very tight fit even using a lap belt. The main reason it is such an easy install is because the seat back is soft and folded down when you are installing the seat - you have more visibility to what you are doing and accessibility to the seat belt. After you have a tight fit you secure the back using the top tether. I found most Chicago cabs have the top tether anchor - even the cabs that look older. Every cab is different so to be able to install in such little time is amazing. I also feel this car seat is definitely safe enough to use when we travel and rent a car.

The only thing I wish this product had is backpack straps on the bag but, it's a minor gripe. This is a must-have if you live in a large city where you take cabs. If you own a car and are just looking for an everyday car seat - this is probably not for you. The child sits very upright and will have no place to sleep - I'd purchase another 5 point harness booster or car seat if I owned a car.

3.0 out of 5 stars Description lacking January 30, 2010

By Elizabeth Colorado

Color Name:Baton Rouge|Amazon Verified Purchase

We purchased this product to travel with as it is light and comes with a travel bag. Unfortunately, for the child seat to work it must be attached to a hook behind the car's seat which not all cars come equipped with, especially cabs in foreign countries. If the car does not have the required hook, the seat is useless as a 5 pnt. restraint booster.
