[+] 8.0 Turbo booster car seat

our three yrar old likes the turbo booster seat, but I wish it was little higher to sit, so he can enjoy the senery
Reviewer [A61ELVE7UMKJ7] | Date [July 28, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Great seat
I love the booster seat. It fits great in the car and the color is great. I was able to fit two of these and a graco snugride in the second row of my pathfinder. My sons love it. The sides are great for when they fall asleep, they no longer slump over, but are able to lean on the side.

[+] 8.0 Great seat
This is a great seat, with nothing that extraordinary about it.

Two issues we're having, neither of which would stop us from buying it again:

1-- it appears to be gray in the picture, but it's actually brown, with light green piping. We would rather it have been gray, since our car's interior is gray, but whatever.

2-- our son is at the small end of the spectrum of who fits in this (3 1/2 y.o., 41 inches tall, 40 pounds or so) and the seatbelt cuts across his throat a bit, meaning when he's tired and cranky it exacerbates his crankiness. It would be nice if there was some way to shift the angle of the seat belt so as to move it slightly lower on the shoulder.

[+] 10.0 great product
my child loves this booster seat, especially the cup holder. it is comfortable and so easy to use and install. would recomend it.

[+] 8.0 Good, falls apart when lays back
just started using it. Like all high back boosters, it does not lock into place sitting up. So when transporting it to other cars (ie field trips) when it lays back, the two main peices come apart. Just an inconvenience, but no reason to not buy it.
Reviewer [A2CTMQ2O9HLHJ2] | Date [June 29, 2010]
[+] 8.0 Great seat for the price!
I purchased this seat for my family in Pittsburgh, so we wouldn't have to keep bringing one with us when we flew. It's a great seat for the price. Since the high back is removable, it doesn't always lock in place when you are carrying it, but that's not really a big deal. I would recommend this as a great second seat!

[+] 10.0 Great Booster seat!!
I love this booster seat. I bought it for my grandaughter who is almost 6. She is very comfortable and safe in it. She loves that it has 2 cup holders and shares one with her little brother.

[+] 10.0 Graco High Back Booster purchased through Amazon
After reviewing Consumer Reports and other sources, the Graco High Back Booster seemed like the best choice. My granddaughter likes it. I like it. Everyone I know who has bought a booster seat in the last two years has selected this one. As a prime customer, the booster was delivered in two days.

[+] 10.0 GET ONE, OR TWO, OR HOWEVER MANY FOR EACH KID/ CAR.
ENOUGH SAID. PERFECT PRICE. SAFE. COLOR SOUND. EASY CLEAN. KID DON'T COMPLAIN. EASY INSTALLATION -- INSTALLATION? SERIOUSLY, GET IT. I HAVE TWO AND I HAVE ONE KID AND ONE CAR.

[+] 10.0 Works great
bought this for our 2nd oldest and will most likely buy one for our oldest. It works well, is built sturdy and does not take up the whole bench like the other two seats we have do.
Reviewer [A2M5EA5XN72Q11] | Date [June 4, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Great booster
This is the second one I've bought, my older son has the same one, and I really like it. It is very easy to put the seat belt thru the loop. Got it much sooner than expected.
Reviewer [AKI8L48PIXKS5] | Date [May 21, 2010]
[+] 8.0 My girls love it!
It's such a big deal for the girls to have a booster. They love the color and design. They say it's very comfortable.

[+] 10.0 Protecting my very first GREAT GRANDAUGHTER...
Have been very satisfied with this product...babysit my two great grandkids and want only the best and safest for them...the reviews certainly helped my selection...
Reviewer [A13UYA3NYOV3Q3] | Date [April 22, 2010]
[+] 6.0 Does the job, but not for long rides.
We have owned this booster for about a year now for my son, who finally outgrew his five-point harness seat at age five. It's easy to install and gives him a bit of head support, but he can only sit in it for about an hour before his poor legs start hurting. He's a tall boy, so it's not that it doesn't fit him correctly. If we stick a sweater under his legs, it helps. I originally wanted to buy the Britax booster, and I regret not doing so. In fact, I may do so after all.
Reviewer [A19FS7H3Q64Z4K] | Date [April 19, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Great, Durable Booster
This booster seat is the best! My 3-year-old son loves it, and the cup holders are esp. nice. It is sturdy, yet it's not as confining as a traditional car seat. It is the perfect transition for any child who needs the "next step" when riding in a vehicle.
Reviewer [A3A0D3YU3EBYSD] | Date [April 17, 2010]
[+] 8.0 Great value and stylish
Since we were in the market to buy 2 booster seats for our 2 cars, we didn't want to spend a lot, and it turns out we didn't need to. This model got a "Good" rating on the national highway safety website, so we felt confident about that. I was pleasantly surprised how stylish it was. My daughter (age 3)loves the 2 cup holders for her drink and the other one for snacks, a toy, etc. She can get herself in and out of the booster (and Mommy or Daddy buckles/unbuckles the seat belt). No cons that I can think of, although we've only been using it about 3 weeks now, so I'm not sure how durable it will be and if can hold up for years to come. We are hoping so!

[+] 10.0 graco highback turbobooster seat
assembly was very easy; and quality was greater than expected; height adjustment could not be any easier if you have other children using this seat; no need to move it to adjust it. adjustment handle located at the top ;almost effortless. no complaints on comfort, it even looks sporty.
Reviewer [A2UFVUCADGBVZI] | Date [March 29, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Just What "She" Wanted!
Our 4 year old granddaughter has transitioned from her baby car seat to this "big girl" model. This is our second purchase as we got the "Girls Rock" version for her for Christmas. Both patterns/colors are attractive to little girls. She and her parents have been happy with theirs, so we got this for our use. She seems to love it although we don't go great distances in it. She does fall asleep comfortably when she's tired which was a concern I had as it is fairly upright. Using the car's seat belts makes it lots easier to strap her in and out with this than her baby car seat. Haven't really used the drink cup feature yet but it surely is nice to have these available with warm weather coming on! This being our second purchase of virtually the same item speaks for itself. The pricing seems fair and I consider it a good value; recommend.
Reviewer [A2XT22BX58V33I] | Date [March 21, 2010]
[+] 10.0 great!
We love the ease of transitioning the carseat between cars. According to safety reviews, this was considered to be one of the safest seats, especially for the price.
Reviewer [A31LNNXL46SV5U] | Date [March 16, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Great big kid seat!
My 3-1/2 year old had outgrown his 5-point harness car seat (in height, not weight), so after doing a lot of researching, I decided on this one. (His younger brother has the Nautilus seat, and that was an option, but I was skeptical that the 5-point harness would actually fit him for much longer because the straps just aren't that long.) We're very happy with our purchase and feel like it's a very safe seat. And our son loves that he has a seat with the seat belt to wear just like Mommy and Daddy.
Reviewer [A3GGW9PPTU9H41] | Date [March 15, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Graco High Back - Great Buy!
We bought two of them for our kids. They're padded nicely and attractive looking. We liked the ability to adjust the back of the seat according to the height of the child. The seat is light weight enough to transfer very easily from our truck to car. Cup holds are useful too. Best part is - it turns into a booster seat (back comes off) for later.
Reviewer [A1BZCUDBYFDWDV] | Date [March 14, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Great!
This booster is just great, my 3 years old is very happy in his big boy seat. Easy to install. we bought two, one for each car.
Reviewer [AI0890T3JSEQ9] | Date [March 12, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Great car seat
It was a little nerve racking to put my 3 year old in this car seat due to not having the chest straps that we have been used to and no anchors to attach it to my seat, but it has not toppled over like I thought it would and he has stayed in it using the seat belt. It rated high in safety crash tests so I am confident this is a great purchase.
Reviewer [A2UX3FEYKT9OXY] | Date [February 25, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Really nice booster
I purchased this seat for my 4 year old because she loves fairies, and pink and purple. We also have another Graco high back booster for my son, so I knew the quality was good. I like the fact that this seat reclines since my daughter still occasionally falls asleep in the car. That way she doesn't slouch forward and the "wings" on the headpiece are large enough for her to lean on. I wish the arm rests went up for easier buckling, but I know once we take the back off it's easier to carry by the arm. I also like the fact the cup holders are large enough to accomodate the larger cups, unlike another booster we have. The cushioning on this model isn't a lot but my kids have never complained about that. This will be the only booster she needs since we'll take the back off when she gets a little older.
Reviewer [A4HK6E3N9N9RI] | Date [February 14, 2010]
[+] 8.0 graco booster seat
The seat is great and makes life much easier on moms and dads. No more heavy lifting of my toddler into a car seat. The cup holders are great and make my little girl happy that she can hold her drinks in the back seat. My only complaint is the width of the seat is a little too wide for the seatbelt area. Every time I buckle her in, I have to move the seat over to "click in" and then move it back again...
Reviewer [A1LGMRBK79QJIS] | Date [February 12, 2010]
[+] 4.0 Liked the looks, didnt like the padding
These look nice, and have the Graco quality...but the seating area is pretty hard. Not a lot of cushion for the kids to sit on....so I sent mine back and ordered a different Graco that I knew had more cushioning.
Reviewer [AD8OZH15YFFR4] | Date [January 21, 2010]
[+] 8.0 good booster, good price
We bought one of these, then a year later a second for our other car. Love how lightweight and easy to install it is.
Reviewer [A2QB2LXI5RDK71] | Date [January 14, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Booster Seat
We bought 2 of these seats (one for each car). It was easy to put together & is easy to use. It looks nice & matches the gray interior of our cars. The head support is nice for when our son falls asleep in the car. The seat belt falls right where it should. The cup holders are a bonus. We've used them a few times. I would recommend this product.
Reviewer [AYVSPVWGP224L] | Date [January 9, 2010]
[+] 10.0 excellant
It arrived with a good condition. Even it arrived earlier than I thought. When my daughter saw the car seat, she loved it.

[+] 10.0 car seat
This car seat was for my granddaughter and she loved it. She had her Mom put it in her chair in the living room when it first came and she sat in it all day. She then used it to come to our house. My daughter said that it was great that Rachel could use her hads and move around a lot better with this car seat than her last one. She loves it.

[+] 10.0 Graco High Back TurboBooster Car Seat
This was purchased for a grandson. Lightweight, easy to transfer from one car to another, secure as well as comfortable, not physically confining with sufficient room for him to move around, yet safe. There were several good models to choose from, however, the reviews of other users convinced us for his needs, this appeared to be the best one from him. We were not disappointed.
Reviewer [A27J1I6OHYLSHE] | Date [December 14, 2009]
[+] 10.0 Simple, easy, and Safe
There was a little bit of assembly but that was simple, easy and took less time than it did to get everything out of the box. My daughter loves this and so do I. It has two cup holders that can be used and are easy for her to reach. They hold a bottle of water rather well without falling out (depending on your driving habits) and snacks too.
Reviewer [A394TGDDUS9FZ8] | Date [December 9, 2009]
[+] 8.0 great seat!
My son loves his new chair. He sits up higher and is able to see out of the windows. The only problem that I came across: Although he meets the height requirements, the seat belt still hits him wrong and hurts. I have to readjust it so that it wont rub him on his neck and cause a rash. I would reccommend that the child be taller by about 4 inches or so than the company suggests. Very durable, light weight and easy to manuver... a bit of a pain to put together!
Reviewer [A2ODX5KH5JANQ6] | Date [November 15, 2009]
[+] 8.0 Good seat
We bought this seat for out 5 and half yr old who is about 50lbs very tall little girl. We kept her in here 5 point still she was 50lbs even tho her seat can go to 25 to 80 we are having a third child and her little sisters Britax Boulvard for that baby and she'll move to oldest ones Frontier that goes up to 80 - 100 lbs. With so many seats that go up to 60 plus pounds for a 5 point there is no reason to move a child to a booster who is less then 50lbs. I love this seat its great for the price and she can use the back till she is 100lbs safest place for any kid is in a car seat and a 5 point as long as possible. When they are ready for there booster i think this is a great seat and easy to use. comes clean great in the wash as needed. The headrest slides easy so sometimes if u hit the red lever when placing kids in out of the car i have to fix it. I would like to have more padding in the seat for them since both of their britax have more then this one. But this is comparable to the Britax one so if u have big kids or extra room i would go for the britax one. But having place three car seats right next to each other we needed a bit of a smaller seat till we move back to the states in 6 months till we get our mini van and if i still think My 5 yr old who well be 6 in a few months still need her britax ill more then likely switch back and get a sec boulvard for our new baby and let the three yr old stay in her Boulvard.

[+] 8.0 Great seat when they are ready to move up
This is a really comfy seat for a kid and my daughter likes the "pink" It is starting to get a little dirty. We washed it just fine but the white parts aren't as white anymore. No problems with this seat at all.

I am very pleased with it. Easy to put together, has a nice look and my Great Granddaughter likes it very much.
Thanks to Graco and all the reviews that people take the time to right. They are really a big help.

[+] 10.0 A picky buyer has found a great car seat
My son, 4 years, loves this seat. Very comfy, very easy to assemble, light weight. I had Britax for the past 3 years, (happy with them too), now I found this seat due to a friends recommendation and I am very happy that I bought it. Quality and prize are right. I am from Germany and even wanted to buy one there and bring it here because you can't get them here. Then I found this Graco and can save myself the trouble. Anyone who is still looking for a great seat, I can say with good consciouns, buy this one.

[+] 10.0 Really pleased
I was very pleased with my Graco High Back Turbobooster car seat. It was very easy to put together and looked just like the picture. The cupholders were great. I did add a little of my own padding on the seat because we went on a long trip. I received the seat within in a few days of ordering. My grandaughter was very comfortable and it was very safe too.
Reviewer [A2948H3GKL3YOH] | Date [September 14, 2009]
[+] 8.0 Booster seat
This car seat is easy to use as it can be removed from the car instantly. However, the padding is quite thin compared to other models. The seatbelt guides and wings do add to safety and the cup holder is a nice (but not necessary) addition. It is important to adhere to the size/weight guides and to consider making sure the child is tall enough for proper fit.
Reviewer [AWS4R237GQNI8] | Date [September 12, 2009]
[+] 10.0 Graco Turbo Booster Seat
This car seat is much better than the one we had previously. It allows your child to sit more naturally and have their legs down in front of them for better circulation. It is very sturdy and we think the price was great.

[+] 10.0 Great seat
I bought the car seat when my daughter was approaching 3 yrs old. It is very light and my mother has no trouble getting it in and out of her car. There have been no problems so far and my daughter likes it and finds it comfortable.

Reviewer [A1YH93NMLFU5PI] | Date [August 14, 2009]
[+] 8.0 Excellent "racing car" seat
We bought this seat to fit in my new car which has a narrow middle rear seat. It fits very well and was simple to install. My son loves it and calls it his "racing car" seat. He was amazed that it came with cup holders. It allows children who have outgrown smaller child seats or capsules but who still like to nap in the car, the opportunity to sleep fairly comfortably as they can rest their heads on the side of the seat. I much prefer this style of seat to a backless booster seat and it is just as easy to use. I feel that this seat gives our child good safety protection and would recommend it to other parents.
Reviewer [A2GP675YHCZV0D] | Date [July 17, 2009]
[+] 8.0 Not bad
This booster seat is ok, nothing special. I had previously bought the First Years Compass B540 Ultra Folding Adjustable Booster which is priced in the mid-80's and thought maybe I would save a few bucks. I definitely prefer the First Years Compass B540 Ultra Folding Adjustable Booster as it is more comfortable, the arms move up and down which makes buckling and unbuckling much easier (The Graco arms do not move) and in general just seems nicer (by comparison the Graco seems "cheaper"). If you are looking for a good budget seat, this is ok, but I recommend spending a few $ more if you can afford it and go with the the Compass seat.
Reviewer [AOA43CG48RUEN] | Date [July 1, 2009]
[+] 10.0 great for my little girl

[+] 10.0 Just what I was looking for!
I bought this booster for my 5 year old and it was exactly what I was looking for. She seemed to big for her other booster, which was a convertible car seat, but I wasn't quite ready for a backless booster. This was the perfect comprmise and I love that it can become a backless booster when she is ready. It is so easy for my daughter to buckle herself in now, she loves feeling like a "big kid".
