Bought 3 of these boosters
July 13, 2020
I ordered three of these car seats in one weekend (Mama's car, Auntie's car, and Grammy's car)...the pink and black, purple and black, and purple and gray. They look awesome and it was time for my long 2yr old to move from a front-facing convertible car seat to this 5-point harnessed booster. I loved her convertible car seat (so much that her new baby cousin has the exact one now), but her legs are soooo long (she's the size of a 4yr old although she just turned 2). Her kicking my seats made me see red after spending about 30min in the car
PROS:
- Booster sits more like a seat instead of being tilted upward like her old seat, so baby can no longer kick the entire back of the passenger seat (she can still kick unfortunately, but now she's limited in how much of the seat she victimizes)
- Baby feels like a BIG GIRL!!! She was excited as soon as she saw the booster in the car! The colors are vibrant and baby girl always responds to bright colors
CONS:
- Booster has lower sides than the previous convertible car seat, so baby can now play with the window button and store away "surprises" in the door armrest. I assume this is a baby-specific problem because my daughter is so long
- These are the worst cup holders IF your baby is is transitioning into a booster, but I assume they're just fine for "big" kids. My baby is long enough for her arms to reach the spout of her taller sippy cups...but not all. We are currently using the car's built-in center cup holder for her drinks (and other "surprises" she decides to store there). The cup holders in this booster seat aren't "real" cup holders in the sense that they don't fully hold/surround the cup. One side of the cup holders is lower...which means baby and I now have to focus on good snack containers that are easy for baby to use on her own without making a crazyyyy mess before I can stop the car lol (we used our previous cup holders for her sippy cups and as a snack dispenser/holder
All in all, do I regret my purchases? No. Not at all. I do wish the cup holders were better though. We're being forced to find a better snack holder but it's not the end of the world by any means. Baby and mama are only moving forward!
