5.0 out of 5 stars Britax killer, Great seat, LATCH NOT hard., August 2, 2009

This review is from: Sunshine Kids Monterey Booster Car Seat (Baby Product)

Several years ago we purchased a Britax Parkway seat for our oldest daughter and we love it. It is very attractive and really holds our daughter well with no head bobbing on long rides.

A few months ago it was time to purchase a bigger car seat for our younger daughter and we were VERY disappointed with the new Britax Parkway. It seems much more cheaply made then our old Parkway and it is downright ugly. This sent us on a search for a new car seat. We wound up purchasing this seat from Monterey. As much as we love the old Parkway, this Monterey is even better. It holds our daughter better and is more adjustable. While the floral patter on the old Parkway is hard to beat, the pink Monterey seat is attractive and our daughter likes it. While the Monterey seat could be used without the LATCH system as we currently use our old Parkway, we like the fact that it has the LATCH system so it secures better.

Lastly, I read some reviews that complained about how hard the seat is to remove when using the LATCH system. I really don't understand this. Either the reviewers are referring to an older seat that is designed differently, or they missed the fact that there is a LATCH release lever under the front bottom portion of the seat that makes it easy to remove the LATCH clips once the tension is released.

Anyhow, this is a fantastic seat and worth the price both for its quality, its appearance, and most importantly for the way it holds and protects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent booster seat, September 21, 2008

The Monterey Booster seat is great. The side impact support for the body and head provide excellent safety. Some of the wings on seats intruded into my child's face to such an extent that he refused to sit in the seat. Not true with this seat. The seat is comfortable. The seatbelt guides are one of the tallest made for full back boosters, allowing for longer use. The cup holders are positioned nicely and support cups well. The adjustable width has not be used yet, but will no doubt come in handy as my son gets bigger. The seat is attractive. The best part is that it latches into your car. What a difference this makes. The seat stays put when your child isn't sitting in it preventing it from becoming a projectile during a sudden stop or crash. As you child moves around while sitting in the seat, it will stay secure and in place. The only thing I don't love is that arm rests are just a little low for really easy access for the seatbelt (but putting on the seat belt is not tough) and a little short for the best comfort. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this seat or my purchase.

First, let me admit that I'm obsessed with car seats. Starting with the amazing over the shoulder Fisher Price Stay in View I bought 6 years ago for my oldest son I got hooked. Every few months you'll find me trolling the best car seat sites checking out what's new. This seat is amazing, by far the best of the boosters we own. It's incredibly well built, sturdy, and safe. It fits my 44lb 5 1/2 year old perfectly and wraps around his head and torso. And it will also fit him well 5 years from now with all the adjustments. He loves the cup holders and the comfort of the fabric (not to mention the red accents, he was very clear that it had to be red). It's easy to install with latch and rock solid. In fact, it's even easier to install than the Jane Indy Plus with isofix bars. I can't say enough about this seat and it was almost half the price of the last booster I bought. Great going Sunshine Kids - you have a winner with this one.
