Cosco High Back Booster Car Seat

So far we have been quite pleased with this purchase. It was relatively easy to install. Loosening and tightening of the straps is simple. The cup holder is a nice touch. We look forward to the flexibility that this seat provides as our child continues to grow.

I bought this car seat so that I wouldn't have to bring my own car seat when flying to my parents. It suited my 18 month old well (and he is on the small side). It could use a little more cushion but it's a good price for an extra car seat at grandma's!

This is my first time to shop on amazon.com, I moved to Asia for years from CA, USA.
Not only the transaction very clear and fast, also the amazon.com products' indormation, spec., links and money save, all satisfied my tough engineer's requirement. I like this shopping experience, and next time, whatever my wife want to buy, I will suggest her to check amazon.com first. :))

I got this car seat as one to leave at my sisters house for our visits since we live in Hawaii and since the cost for extra baggage now is about the same as buying another one this will save us money and headaches. This is a good car seat for the right price. I highly recommend.

We've had this carseat for a few months now. We bought it to go in my husband's car so we wouldn't be doing the "change the carseat all the time" thing. Also, because her main carseat in our Odyssey is the Britax Boulevard, which is NOT a carseat to be lugging from one car the the other. Sometimes I ride with friends when we go out and I always use this seat, because it's easier to move and install. This seat does what it's supposed to do when it needs to be used (which is only a few times a month). My hubby's car is a Ford Escort wagon and it's perfect because the seat is not so big. The Britax would NEVER fit into the Escort! The Escort is a '98 so it doesn't have the LATCH system, but I didn't find it hard at all to get this carseat installed with the seat belt. I did it by myself and got a really tight fit (it barely moved). I was very pleased with that because when it comes to installing my daughter's carseat I'm fanatical about it being done correctly. I only gave it four stars because of a few things: 1) the straps do get twisted, 2) the plastic strap slots on the bottom sides seem to "pop" off and I have to push them back in until they snap back into place, and 3) I did use this carseat using the LATCH belt in the Odyssey for my friend's daughter and it didn't have as tight of a fit as the seatbelt in the Escort. The seat didn't slide more than an inch at the belt, but I noticed the top of the seat back slid around a lot and pulled easily away from the Odyssey's seat back. To fix this problem, I simply secured the seat with the seatbelt as well and that helped tremendously! Baby Number 2 is on the way and once he or she outgrows the infant seat, they will be moved to the Britax and my oldest will use this seat as a belt-positioning booster. Anyway, this is a great seat for the money.

Update - November 11, 2008
Since I wrote the original review, I realized that the reason the top of the seat was unstable in the Odyssey's captain's chair, was because I did not use the tether on the back of the seat (DUH!). When I used the seat again in the Odyssey (had to clean the Britax), I used the LATCH system and the tether anchor that goes behind the car's seat, and the thing was rock solid! I also figured out a better way to tighten the LATCH belt too. The seat is still working out great too, although my daughter has just about outgrown the top slot. I really want to keep her in a harness, so I've been checking out the new Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 seat. If you're looking at this one, then go for that one! Just my observation. If Graco had that one out when I needed this one, I would have bought that one! But, alas, there will always be something new and better around the bend! Hope this update is helpful to all you lookers!

This was the best price available for this multifunctional carseat. We expect it should last for the next 5-6 years or more. We highly recommend this for anyone who wants to keep a child safely restrained.

This seat was bought to be the last car seat that we will need to use.

Our son is particularly tall and light for his age, so we needed a seat that accommodated both his height at his shoulders and his weight.

This seat provided the basics and is well constructed. That being the case, the only thing that we feel is missing is the extra padding on the strap that the top of the line seats come with.

The seats are functional and very attractive.

We purchased this carseat as a "spare" to have in our second vehicle. It is a great choice to use occasionally; I feel it offers more support than a booster without a back.

After shopping at a couple of stores and not finding two of the same seats in stock, I purchased two of these to replace car seats that were just too old. They aren't plush but they work nicely and are easy to install. For the price, they are great (and I didn't have to drive to the store to get them).

Pros: Light weight; easy to use buckle/tightening; price
Cons: Thin padding; may not fit all cars

We bought this as a second car seat for our 2 1/2 year-old daughter. Although she is at the low end of the weight recommendation, the seat fits her well. Not nearly as well padded as pricier seats, but she doesn't seem to mind, even on long trips. Easy to buckle and tighten. Very lightweight (great for airline travel!) One downside is the configuration of the LATCH clips and belt; on one rental car I had to wedge a folded towel under the seat to be able to tighten it properly. Overall a decent product at an amazing price.

This was the second time we purchased this same product...it is a great deal for the price. Our son is very comfortable and the product holds up over time-easy to clean.

I bought this model from a store, but it was pink. I brought it home and had my daughter sit in it uninstalled. She is 3 1/2, weighs 34 lbs, and measures 31" from shoulder to floor standing. ALthough very average in size, she was too tall for the harness (the strap came out a tad below) and too small to use the car's seat belt. I don't see how this seat is safe for the majority of toddlers. Are people moving to booster too quickly because of this product? They must be!

This car seat is practical. I watch children out of my home and occasionally have to pick up my older daughter at school, at which time all the children must be loaded in the car. My personal favorite is a Britax but they are too expensive to purchase 4 or 5 to have in my car, therefore this works great for the occasional car ride.

This car seat fully satisfied me and my 3 years old son, good quality fabrics, soft and comfortable seat, everything works fine, it's safe, price is very good too. I recommend.

This booster car seat was just what we were looking for! It was easy to install (we didn't find it any more difficult than other car seats). It's easy for our 3 year old to climb into by herself, which has proven to be very convenient & quite a help when we're rushing out the door. We're still using the harness, which she can buckle the chest clasp by herself but isn't strong enough for the other latch.
Especially for the unbeatable price, we are very happy with our purchase!

it's a good seat. granted there are better ones. this one doesn't stay put but i'm not paying $300 for a carseat that will last one year if i'm lucky

I am by no means a brand snob, so when I wanted to get a second seat for my daughter to use when she's at her grandma's house, I turned to this one. It was the most inexpensive seat I found that still had everything I wanted. It is easy to get in and out, which is perfect because the grandparents can use it in whichever car they want. Its not quite as comfy as the one we got for my car (an evenflo), but since we don't use it on long distances, it works out fine. I found this on sale at Target for $30, and I'm glad I didn't spend any more for a second seat. This one works just perfectly!

Purchased for a 5 year old grand daughter who was visiting. Worked fine in the backseat of my van for a three day road trip with grand-daughter and family. This way we didn't have to drag her own car seat on the plane from the west coast.

We just ordered our 2nd Cosco carseat for Grandma's car. It is easy to install, easy to use, and very affordable for those on a budget!

we bought this car seat from amazon for perfect price 43 bucks,it really worth it,easy to install,wonderful colour darker than the photo,nice pad,very comfortable.i saw one like this one in walmart for same price but this one darker than the one in walmat and has more pads. i really like it.recomended it to a friend.

This car seat is great except the belt connection between the legs is pretty short. The car seat is light, making it easy to move around. It's super easy to adjust the straps and best of all, my kid seems to like it.

We got this soon after our first grew out of the regular toddler seat. I found this easy to use and buckle. We love it. It easily converted to a booster seat too.

This is a solid seat that will fit well in most compact cars.

I ended up sending this back due to the fact that while the product description says it is for 22lbs and up, the box adds a minimum height requirement (36 inches) that I did not see on Amazon. Quite possibly it's listed somewhere and I missed the line. Just something to be aware of.

I was looking online to find a used car seat for our second car and found this new one for a similar price. It's a great seat and I found it as easy as any other to install.

Because the top slats for the harness on this car seat are low, if you have a tall child you will get limited use out of it. A child outgrows their harness when their shoulders are above the slats where the harness comes out of the back of the seat. You would be better off buying a seat with higher harnessing and/or one that converts to a belt positioning booster - I recommend the Evenflo Bolero/Generations. In addition to being able to use it longer, your child will also be safer as the Evenflo seat has more in the way of side impact protection.

I love this car seat. I've used it for my twins who are 18 months old as well as for my 4 year old. It is a little hard to latch in, but I don't move the car seats to another car so it is fine with me. They are very secure, easy to get the kids in and out of and have plenty of room for the kids to grow.

This is a good Product. This is my secondary car seat for my daughter who is 18 months old. Good Product for the money I paid. The build quality is good and it's comfortable.

I havn't used this seat for too long but certainly have not had any problems so far. Bought one for each grandparents' house for my 2 year old to use while visiting. He seems to like it just the same as the Britax we use at home ...although I can clearly see the difference. But for this price I couldnt really ask for more

Love this car seat.
Fits my girl very well and the 5 point savety belt with the clip over her chest prevents her from falling forward when she falls a sleep during long drives.

I now have two of these seats and they work great! People who say that they are hard to install just are not smart enough to do it! It is very easy to install and the seat is very secure if done correctly !My grandchildren enjoy riding in this seat and they are safe !

I'm returning this car seat. After only using it twice, the belt clip pulled right out when I went to clip my child into the seat. I was disconcerted when it came out so easily and wondered how easily it might come out in an actual car accident. The manual tells you how to re-insert it, but the model I bought only has one slot for it, so there is no reason to make it easy to pull out (since it isn't adjustable with multiple slots for different sized kids). I'm not taking my chances on this seat...
