Super Safe, Super Flexible
October 4, 2020
I am a momma of three, but my oldest is only four (and a half) - years old, so the Grow With You Harness-2-Booster Car Seat is my first booster seat. And since it's for my first baby, I was really looking for something safe and high quality, because it will likely be used by one (or more) of her younger siblings, too. Although my daughter's forward-facing car seat that she used previously looks bigger and bulkier, I was surprised at how heavy the Grow With You Harness-2-Booster Car Seat is in comparison. It looks light, but I really appreciate that it has such good density. It makes me feel like it's very sturdy and safe. (I guess it's that steel frame!) When installing the car seat, I prefer to use the LATCH system, and was able to hook and unhook the booster seat easily into my car. My husband, however, prefers using the seat belt to install the booster seat. He really likes how you pull down the back part of the seat so you can see the seat belt while installing it. Many car seats make you go "blind" as you stick the seat belt through a hole near the bottom and try to pull it all the way through, but you have a full visual with this booster seat. And my daughter's favorite feature is definitely the two cup holders and two snack holders! Although she usually uses them to stash toys that she brings with her in the car, not necessarily food and drink. Since I've only used it with my daughter for a few weeks, I haven't needed to adjust the fit, besides initially setting it up (which I was able to do so easily), but since this grows with her until she weighs over 100 pounds, I am grateful that it is fully adjustable. Especially since this will probably be used by a younger sibling in the future, so my daughter can use it as a belt-positioning booster until she's big, and then I can adjust it back to a five-point harness for a smaller, younger sibling. Although I received the Grow With You Harness-2-Booster Car Seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I will buy another in the future for my second child (who will need one before my daughter grows out of it), and I highly recommend it to anyone else!
