Was looking for a convertible booster for my 4.5yr old. This one checked all the boxes and as a booster rates highly.

    I definitely don’t recommend this seat! It uses the vehicle sash seatbelt instead of a harness for a child that is only 4! Extended harness seats such as a Britax maxi guard are so much safer.

    My 5 year old is in the maxi guard pro. They harness until the child is around 8 some can be harnessed until 10 depending on size of the child.

      Wrong. It has a harness

      • WRONG! Read the link it states

        Features

        Suitable for use in forward facing position with built-in harness from 6 months to 4 years of age
        Suitable for use as a booster seat with your vehicles lap-sash seat belt from approximately 4 to 8 years of age

        • Exactly. You are still wrong. You can still use the harness when they are over 4, just as I do right now in that very seat.
          How can you say it doesnt have a harness? I have this exact seat. The above suitability is only quoting the minimum age you can legally go out of a harness.

            @dassaur: Its NOT an extended harness seat that is the whole point! They will be out of the harness once they reach the height marker. If he/she hasn’t already reached it, if not it won’t be long.

    • Interesting podcast about car seats - https://freakonomics.com/podcast/car-seats/

      "The comparison between children’s car seats and children aged 2 to 6 who were wearing adult seatbelts, no matter how I slice it, I never was able to find any benefit of the car seats in terms of preventing either death or serious injury. Although it is true that in a second paper I wrote with Joe Doyle from M.I.T., we did find that child car seats are about 25 percent better at preventing the least-serious kinds of injuries in car crashes."

        maybe not much diff in accidents if the kids are in their seats properly - that is the first problem… at least a harness keeps the little wrigglers in their seat!

        I listened to that as well. One of the best freakonomics I have heard.

        There were no negatives to wearing car seats from what I remember - just no positives either.

        I already own them, so my kids are still in car seats. Plus police, wives etc.

  • I was seriously looking at this because of it's brilliant rating for booster. But if you have a kids under 4 like me then consider the Rally II because it has a decent CERP rating for both. I bought it the other day and it wasn't too hard to install. My daughter is enjoying how comfortable it is too.

    Paid $149 at Big W for the Wiggle's version of it.

  • This is exactly the same seat model as some of the Mother's Choice products - e.g. the Spark currently available for $129 at Target. https://www.target.com.au/p/mother-s-choice-spark-convertibl…. Some features may be different but they are essentially the same seat. It's a good budget and narrow seat, if that's what you need. I bought a Mother's Choice variant for $84.50 but that price won't come again unless some major chain is closing another one of its stores.
