Room for others

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried out this booster seat as part of Stellar Product Testing Panel. I'm so glad I did because it fits pretty much what my son's been asking for. My 5 year old is 49" tall, so the seat belt hits him in a comfortable spot. He loves to have his milk and water on the way to school. This has two built in (and foldable) cup holders which do not intrude on the seats next to the booster. As you can see, there's still a gap between him and the baby's car seat. Unlike his other booster seat, this one flushes to the back, so when you take out the back, there isn't a big and uncomfortable gap. It's also light weight and easy to install. We haven't had a need to wash the covers yet, but it appears to be pretty straightforward. If there are cons, I haven't experienced them yet, or what maybe cons to some, aren't cons to me.

Lightweight but tight for 3 across configuration

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this car seat to test! We have four children in car seats and have worked our way through nine different seats. Although I have yet to find a seat that I can give all five of my Stars to, this is by far the top high back booster I have encountered so far in the following categories: 1. Weight. Because we travel regularly, I really appreciate having a seat that is not 20 lb but offers the same stability and protection that a heavier seat can offer. We have used all-in-one seats that function as a high back booster when the child is large enough, but the weight is so significant that they become nearly impossible to travel with. On the flip side, we have used a little bitty boosters that collapse down to just about nothing or a single solid lightweight seat, but the amount of protection for side impact is obviously completely lacking. At the weight of the seat, it offers amazing protection even compared to the five point harness booster / forward facing seat that our little one was in previously. This is probably a third of the weight, narrower footprint which allows for a little better fit in the car, and offers the same amount of comfort. 2. Ease of use. I will be honest that this is the place that this booster and most other boosters we have used lose a star. The issue maybe the way our children pull the buckles, but it seems to be nearly impossible to keep the Buckle threaded through the shoulder guide. Nearly every time my 7 years old buckles and unbuckles herself, the shoulder strap manages to disentangle itself from the guide. 3. Fit in a three across situation. I tested five different configurations of three across in the back of our minivan and this booster is the best option for our biggest kid to fit the three across structure. It was traded out with a larger seat and suddenly three across became feasible again. To be fair, the other two seats in this configuration are a very narrow all in one which is in the center position and a very adjustable high back seat belt guiding booster which was set to the narrowest possible settings for both hip and shoulder width, but that is the correct configuration for our next child anyway. As soon as he gets a little bigger, we would no longer be able to do three across with this booster and would require something a bit more narrow or will need to move one of the children to the captain's chair in the middle row of the minivan. Across the board, though, this is a seat I would select to purchase over and over again for use in our travels, and the seats I used to travel are the seats I want for every day so that our children are used to them. I don't want to sacrifice safety by giving up the side protection of a high back booster in favor of something more collapsible or smaller, either for day-to-day use or to put on the plane with us for use elsewhere. And this is the perfect fit for both of those situations!

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.

Easy to use but best for older kids

[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

Safety and comfort

[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.

Great as a Backless Booster

[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.

Great Booster for Transition

[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.

A good basic seat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco Turbobooster Extend 2-in-1 seat was good for us. It’s a very basic, light weight convertible booster that’s gets the job done. It came in 3 parts and was very easy to put together and adjust the headrest to the appropriate height. The fabric is soft and the design is simple. I think it would look great in any car (if aesthetics matter to you). I will always be a fan of convertible seats in general, as they grow with your kids. The seat was nice and wide and gave my 6 year old plenty of space to get comfortable. I was able to let my 8 year old use the seat in backless mode and he too thought it was plenty comfortable. It was easy to disassemble the back and stow it away. I really appreciated the pullout cup holders on both sides of the seat. One of my biggest gripes about other seats is that the cup holders are always out and usually in the way. This way they can be stowed when there’s no drinks. I also like the front adjustable LATCH straps. That really did make it so much easier to secure the seat. While it doesn’t have the Wow factor that some other seats may have, I think this is a solid, cost effective seat that will last you a good while. Thank you so much to Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me the chance to test this booster seat!

Good Affordable Option

[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. The Graco Turbobooster Extend 2-in-1 Booster is a good option for those that are looking for a booster for an older kid that can grow with them. We installed it in my husband’s car which is an SUV with captain chairs for the second row. I tried this out for both my almost 5 year old and my 7 year old. My 7 year old is 55 lbs and 48” tall and my almost 5 year old is 40 lbs and 44” tall. The booster (with and without) the back part is for 40-100 lbs so a great long lasting option. I love getting longer use out of products so the fact it grows with the kid and you can remove the back is a huge plus. It had a nice anchor latch system that was easy to install and secure. I was pleasantly surprised that for a booster, it had such a nice latch system. It was very easy to install and adjust the car seat. You can easily adjust the headrest and adjust arm rests for a different sized kiddo so it makes it easy switching back and forth between two kids with different weight and heights. The fact that the 2 cup holders fold in makes it a good option if you have less space available in your vehicle (if you have 2 car seats next to each other on a bench style seating arrangement). It’s easy to pull them out and push the cup holder back in so you won’t be fighting with it. I let my oldest sit with the back of the booster on and backless. She thought that the backless was more comfortable. We both agreed that it was spacious without being too clunky. It’s very lightweight too so if you need to move it between cars, it’s not heavy. That’s also a plus for grandparents (the fact it’s easy to install and light to carry). The fabric comes off easily when you need to wash it and put it back on. My oldest wished that the arm rests were fabric instead of plastic, but I liked that it made it easier to clean. I think it’s a good option for every day use but it’s also a great option for grandparents to have one for grandkids since it’s so affordable, lightweight, and easy to install. Safety and brand reputation is important to me and I feel confident using this product for my kids.

Fantastic booster seat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we received the Graco Turbobooster Extend 2-in-1 Booster from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, we were thrilled to give it a try. We use this booster seat for our 6 year old daughter. She really enjoys how much space she has in it. I enjoy how lightweight it is and how easy it easy to install. My mother had to use the booster seat, so we converted to the backless booster seat option. It was quite simple to do and my daughter was excited to only have to sit in the bottom portion. She felt like such a big kid. We were ok with it too because it is Graco and it is safe. Overall this is a booster seat that I would recommend as it is an affordable price, it’s lightweight, and easy to install.
