Customer reviews for Graco Turbo Extend Highback Booster Seat forVersatile booster loaded with fantastic features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve tried out several booster seats and the extra features on this Graco Turbobooster make it our favorite one by far. The latch restraints are fantastic so it’s not a projectile hazard when empty. The front-adjust on the latch system made installation a breeze. The added safety with this feature alone makes the booster worth buying but the hidden cup holder, easy-to-clean fabric, and adjustable headrest make it even better! Assembly took 2 minutes by myself and I was able to disassemble it in seconds to check it for air travel. Both my 5 and 6 year olds like the feel of the seat as a high-back booster and said it was still comfortable after several hours of driving on a road trip. I received this booster seat through Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for an honest review. The safety, comfort, and ease of assembly make this my new go-to booster!
Safe and comfortable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve used graco for a majority of our baby needs since our first born and are so happy to continue using them for our second when we received this booster from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We just got another car and were looking for a booster as our girl has grown taller so this booster came at a perfect time with so much excitement. As soon as it got delivered our daughter begged for us to open it so she could try it out. It was extremely simple to put together and has a little notch underneath to keep the instructions and safety info which is neat. We popped it into our truck and the latch system makes the booster so secure which is great it was a super easy install and our daughter loves being able to strap herself in like a big girl and always like to pop out the hidden cup holders for her things. I love that it grows with her and can become a backless booster for the future and we can easily move it to another car if we need too. We love it graco! Thank you
Awesome Booster
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This booster seat is great. It fits perfectly in my mini van. It was simple to assemble. My son absolutely loves his new seat. He says it is so comfy. The style is nice and good quality . I would recommend this product.
Easy to install but one main flaw
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco Turbobooster Extend 2-in-1 Booster is a mostly great seat with one flaw that stands out. There are quite a few positives - it was super easy to assemble out of the box, and installation with the LATCH system was a breeze. The headrest is easily adjustable, the seat fits nicely in my mid-sized SUV and my daughter is comfortable in it. The one main downside that I’ve noticed is that the shoulder seatbelt pops out of the belt guide really easily. I find myself having to re-thread it through the belt guide every time my daughter gets into the car, which is frustrating because I’d prefer her to be able to get in and buckle herself fully independently. My 6 year old’s favorite feature of this booster is the cupholders. She has a large stainless steel water bottle that didn’t fit in her previous carseat’s cupholders - but it fits in these! If it wasn’t for the shoulder belt constantly popping out of the belt guide I would really love this booster. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this booster seat.
Simple and easy to use booster seat
[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!
Graco never fails me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love graco seats, and this one is no different! Graco always makes comfortable seats that are easy to install, safe, and easy to adjust. I love how consistent the mechanisms are to adjust each seat, so I don’t have to try to figure out how to adjust settings on each seat. I love that this seat converts to a backless booster because we are juuuuuust about to move to backless for my oldest. This seat has lots of storage which is perfect for your kid to pile loose goldfish and pop tart wrappers in. The comfort level is great which is perfect for long car rides so the only thing they have to complain about is boredom. The headrest adjusts really easily and the cup holders are an awesome feature too. You can never have too many of those! I received this booster from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and love it!
Good basic 2 in 1 Booster Seat
[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. I currently use a very similar 2-in-1 booster seat of a different brand. The design of this booster is pretty simple, sleek and very lightweight. Assembly was very quick and easy and the instructions easy to read. My daughter (7) has plenty of space in this seat and likes the comfort of the seat. She found it just as comfortable as her current seat. To me, the booster section of the seat felt a bit firmer than the other brand’s seat, but my daughter couldn’t tell the difference. The adjustable headrest is very easy to use and my daughter liked being able to rest her head on the side panels of the headrest. The front-adjust LATCH system is very similar to the one we currently have. The clips for attaching the seat to the car’s anchors are easy enough to use as long as the anchors are easy to access. We tried the seat in our car as well as in a hire car. In our car, the anchors are hidden in the seat cushions and you can only access them by feel. That made it harder to attach the hooks, since you had to try and guess where to push down. In our hire car, the anchors stuck out quite a bit and it was a breeze to attach the hooks. It is fairly easy to tighten the straps to secure the seat and the release button is also very easy to use. We had an opportunity to travel with this seat and we chose to leave the back part of the seat at home. The seat part of the booster is very light and easy to travel with and was easy to move from car to car. The thing I liked most about this booster seat is that it gave us more space in the car, since the cup holders can retract. My daughter also felt like that was a pretty cool feature. Compared to our existing booster seat, the Graco Turbobooster Extend feels like it’s a lower cost, but well thought out option for people who are on a budget and not fussed about fancy gadgets. For example, the hooks that attach the seat to the anchors, as well as the plastic release button are pretty basic compared to the ones on our other seat and the material used for the seat cover is a bit more synthetic than I would usually go for. Overall, it’s a good seat that my daughter approves of and I would recommend it for someone looking for a lightweight, comfortable, easy to use 2-in-1 booster seat.
High Praise for this Car Seat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of 4 I am often doing the epic car-seat-shuffle upgrading and making sure all my kids are as safe as possible in my car. It was time for my younger-middle to move from a 5 point harness into a high back booster and I’m so pleased with the Graco Turbobooster Extend 2-in-1! The seat itself is light but still feels sturdy. It is a breeze to pop right into any car and doesn’t take up a lot of extra room. My favorite feature is how easy it is to adjust. I can move the headrest with one hand and there are a lot of options to make sure he’s comfortable but also in the right setting. My son says that the seat is comfortable to sit in and he’s loving the independence of using the “big buckle” while I’m at peace knowing that he’s sitting in the car properly. The long window of use from 40-100 lbs means the seat will grow with my son for years! I also have a kiddo in a no-back booster and love that this seat is so easy to add or take off the back. I am able to quickly transition it if we are carpooling other kids to practices and games making it super versatile for my family. There is a lot to love with the Graco Turbobooster Extend 2-in-1 if you’re looking for a high back to no back booster seat! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test this car seat.
Graco Booster Easy Install in Minutes
[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.
You cannot go wrong with a Graco
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a Graco Turbobooster to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I’ve got 4 kids 6 and under so this thing will get some seat time. My oldest is VERY outspoken and opinionated. She has no complaints about the comfort of this seat while using it as a high back booster. It holds the belt in the proper position across her chest. For set up out of the box, you just have to clip the backrest onto the bottom. It only takes 30 seconds. Install is simple on these boosters as well. You just toss it in the car and loop the seat belt through the backrest clip. It’s very easy to move from car to car, if that is needed. I LOVE the feature to hook the seat to the latch connectors. This holds the seat in place while not in use. On my other Graco (without this feature) you’re supposed to clip the seat belt in while it’s not in use but that never happens. So, the seat just flops around in the back. This one doesn’t budge. I would recommend this product to someone looking for a safe and affordable booster.
