[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this booster seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. All opinions are my own. We just returned from a family road trip, which was roughly four hours each way. My son, who is 7 years old, road in this booster and helped by giving me his opinion for this review. I’ll start with the parent point-of-view: the booster seat was easy to assemble out of the box and easy to install in the vehicle. I appreciate the front-adjust LATCH system because it makes securing the booster in the vehicle both safe & convenient. I own a midsize SUV and the booster fit in the captain’s chair with plenty of room to spare. Now, from my son’s point-of-view: this booster was very uncomfortable. He gave it an F. He said that in the high-back position it did not feel good on his back. No matter how comfy the headrest is, it wasn’t enough for him to give the booster a passing grade. Thankfully, the booster is easy to convert to remove the back so he can ride backless. He did like this position and we will continue to use the Graco Turbobooster Extend as a backless booster seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive the Graco Turbobooster extend 2 in 1 booster from the Stellar Product Testing Panel that when it arrived I opened it immediately. However, upon opening it I was extremely disappointed. The back of the seat feels like it will break just by leaning against it. I was just involved in an accident where I had all of my kids in the van. I was t-boned and was so grateful for the booster and car seats that my kiddos were buckled into. Putting this booster seat together I don’t feel like it would withstand any type of accident. When I put the booster seat in the car I was confused that there is no top tether strap. I searched everywhere and read the instructions but couldn’t find it or couldn’t find it talked about anywhere. So the back of the booster sits against the seat of the car not strapped on. The one promising thing about this booster seat has is the front latch. I really did appreciate that. So many times I’m searching around the side of a car seat trying to pull the latch strap tight and it is hard to get a good angle. With the front latch system you can easily latch and then pull the strap right in front, very helpful and honestly the only thing good about this booster seat. My 8 year old sat in the booster seat for 1 week and thought it was pretty uncomfortable. It looks sleek and I like the coloring of the fabric but ultimately I wouldn’t recommend this seat to anyone. Maybe I am being more critical because of my recent accident but it doesn’t feel sturdy and safe if I were to get in an accident.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this booster seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a mom, I was really impressed with this 2-in-1 booster seat. It has a sleek and modern look that's both stylish and functional. I like how grown-up it looks, which is perfect for older kids who might feel self-conscious about being in a "baby" seat. It looks smart and almost elegant because it doesn't have a lot of extra, showy elements. One of the most noticeable things about this booster seat is how much more room it seems to create in the car. It feels like there's so much more space, which is a big plus for both my daughter and other passengers. My daughter found it quite comfortable, with nice padding that provides good support for long car rides. The front-adjust LATCH system is super simple to use - just snap in and pull tight. It's quick and effortless, which is a huge time-saver. The adjustable headrest is another great feature, though it's worth noting that it's really more of a back-of-the-head rest rather than something to lean on. It's easy to adjust as my daughter grows, ensuring proper positioning and safety at all times. I like that this seat can convert into a backless booster. The conversion process is also incredibly simple - just click, click, and you're done. This ease of use is a big plus. It's lightweight and easy to put together, which I absolutely love. My daughter really likes this booster seat because she has more freedom and movement with her legs. Interestingly, she mentioned that she doesn't like being held in more securely by the regular seatbelt, which is something to keep in mind. She says it's quite comfy overall, which is great to hear from the person who actually sits in it! The only negative I can think of is that since it's not a full car seat, it's not as safe as a traditional car seat. However, I realize this is partly because my daughter is growing up and will be out of a car seat entirely sooner rather than later. Overall, this booster seat has been a great addition to our car. It's comfortable, easy to use, and will last us for years to come. While it may not offer the same level of protection as a full car seat, it's an appropriate choice for older children who are ready for more independence but still need some extra support. I would recommend it to other parents looking for a reliable and practical booster seat solution for their growing children.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the sleek design of the high back booster seat. Its square bottom gives it a very modern appearance that stands out. The high-back portion offers a snug fit for my 9-year-old (56lbs), while still being accommodating for my 5.5-year-old (52lbs). It’s a more compact seat compared to others we've used, which allows us to safely fit three across in the backseat. The seat is comfortable, with plenty of padding on the sides for a cozy ride. I appreciate that the padding is easily removable for quick cleaning, after spills or accidents. Additionally, my kids enjoy having access to cup holders, which is a nice feature! However, I did find it a bit inconvenient that the cup holders are not removable. This makes it challenging to clean up sticky drink spills or snacks that get stuck. The front-adjust latch system is incredibly convenient, making the installation of both the high back and no back booster a breeze. This design minimizes the potential for user error, ensuring a secure fit every time. Without the risk of the booster sliding out from under your child. The adjustable headrest is a fantastic feature that allows for quick adjustments when transitioning between my two children or as your child grows. With an easily accessible handle, the headrest moves smoothly from one position to the next, providing a hassle-free experience. The ability of the Turbobooster Extend 2-in-1 booster to transform from a high-back to a backless booster is an excellent feature for a growing child. Knowing that my child(ren) can use this seat for years, thanks to its versatile design, is a tremendous advantage when selecting the next car seat. The back portion of the seat can be easily removed when your child is ready for the next step, making the transition seamless. Unlike some high-back boosters, which can be cumbersome when the back portion falls backward if not properly secured in the vehicle, the Turbobooster Extend remains upright without any risk of tipping over. This stability is not only convenient but also reassuring for parents, knowing that they have a reliable and safe booster seat for their child. Although, I received this carseat through the Stellar product testing panel, what I genuinely appreciate most about the booster seat is its ability to securely accommodate my children, who have a wide range of ages. The fact that it can be easily transferred from one height position to another without any hassle is a significant advantage. Additionally, the front-pulling latch system is a game-changer, making it incredibly convenient to install the car seat correctly. This feature is something every parent or grandparent appreciates, as it ensures safety without the stress of complicated setups. Overall, this carseat is designed with both safety and ease of use in mind, making it a great choice for any caregiver.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the Graco Turbobooster Extend 2in1 Booster for testing through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We loved that the installation was the easiest of any car seat or booster seat we have tried. It will make for a great booster seat for grandparents and babysitters to use on local adventures to avoid having to move a bulkier seat back and forth. It is light weight and spacious. Safety-wise the lap belt was easy to secure in the proper positioning while still being comfortable for our child. Unfortunately, it was too spacious for our almost 50 lb 5 year old. He was comfortable, but prefers the increased security he feels from his bulkier 3in1 high back booster on longer rides. We think this would be most comfortable for ages 7 and up. Overall, it's a well designed, easy-to-install booster seat that is best suited for older children or children on the upper end of the weight limit. It provides safe, comfortable positioning for the lap belt at a great value, especially if serving as a spare carseat for extended family or babysitters

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This booster seat came in 3 pieces. Using the instruction manual, the assembly was quick , easy, and very straightforward. Installing the seat in the car was also outlined in the manual, and was very simple using the LATCH system. The front-adjust button was very easy and made the install so fast. As the seat is very lightweight, it would be a very easy seat to move between vehicles or to different spaces within the car. The design is very simplistic and undistracted. The focus is definitely on safety, with a few pieces of padding for comfort. It fit my 52-lb, 49" 6-year-old very comfortably. The adjustable headrest was simple to use in order to fit the height of my child, and the seatbelt holder positioned the seatbelt right where it needed to be on his shoulder. For his height, the backless option was not a good fit, as the seatbelt would not stay in the correct position. My child thought the seat was very comfortable and was excited about the stowable cup holders. For long-term use, I see the placement of the cupholders being possibly problematic for potential spills, but they are a nice feature for a careful occupant. The seat was a little snug near the buckle for the seatbelt, so my child had a bit of a hard time reaching down to buckle the seatbelt. I do think this will get easier with time and practice. I always prefer options that grow with the child and fit various needs, rather than only meeting a single use for a short period of time. I appreciated the long-term use the seat provides, along with multiple options to suit the potential for multiple children over many years. With its lightweight design and easy-to-use LATCH system, this is an easy choice for parents of growing kids. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and would definitely recommend it for other parents!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mom of 3 here and I have been through many booster seats. I will say this particular seat is easy to install, has neutral colors, and has the cup holders that fold in, which we love. However, my knock is the durability. This seat does feel a bit flimsy on the back and I think that is more common with boosters that can transition to being backless. For the price point of this seat, I think the quality fits. We have other seats that feel more durable but they are easily twice the cost. I plan to continue using this booster as a back up for play date friends, babysitters, grandparents, etc. I would recommend this seat to other parents as a good option for a lower point and for those that want to be able to transition the same booster seat to a backless booster seat. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this booster seat. Safe travels to all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family has been Graco loyal customers for over 9 years. With three kids ranging in ages four to nine, we have tested and tried many different Graco products and car seats. We received the Graco Turbobooster Extend 2 in 1 Booster through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This seat would be a great seat for a grandparent car or to use while traveling. It is extremely lightweight, and install is a breeze. The cupholders can be pulled out to use or collapsed into the seat. My son really likes being able to hold some of his smaller toys in the cupholder and pushing it in so they don't fall out when getting in and out of the car. The front-adjust LATCH system is handy in making sure the seat does not slide around in the car when getting in and out. Converting the height of the booster is as simple as pushing a button and pulling or pushing the back down. Converting to a backless booster is 2 simple steps and easy to do. However, this seat is far narrower than our other Graco boosters. My son did say that he can feel the back of the seat moving and jiggling while riding, and he cannot feel that in his other Graco booster seat. It is also much narrower around his shoulders than other seats. When the high back is on, it does not have as tight of a fit as our other high-back boosters. Overall, it is a great secondary seat, but would not be my first choice for our everyday seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this booster seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel just in time to transition from a 5-point to a high back booster. The booster is fairly compact with a sleek design. For my 7 year old the seat pan is a bit shallow and in my suv I have room to spare but I imagine in a smaller car the low profile would be perfect and he says it’s plenty comfortable! I love the adjustable headrest and the fact that once we’re ready to remove the high back I won’t have to purchase another chair - I can just remove the back with a literal “snap.” The best part of the booster by far was the easy install! The front adjust system made this the first booster I felt confident installing without my partner having to pull to make it tight against the seat. I do wish there were latch for over the back of the seat but overall very happy with the ability to use the LATCH system to make it secure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This booster was everything I was looking for. I needed to transition my child from a 5 point harness car seat to a booster. I knew I wanted a high back booster seat to make the transition easier for him but also one that would detach the upper part so we could travel with it easily. This booster seat is extremely lightweight and install was a breeze. The front adjust latch system was very simple and took less than a minute to install. An added feature that I really like is the seat belt guide that brought the seatbelt down across his chest making is very comfortable and safe for him. The black and grey colors were perfect for my black interior car and the pull out cup holders were a nice extra feature that my child uses daily. He mentioned the car seat is very comfortable and being a sensitive kid I was worried about the transition but he immediately took to the new seat and was excited to use the “real” seatbelt. Overall, this is a great quality booster that fits our needs perfectly. A big thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity to test this product.
