Cosco Ambassador Belt Positioning Backless Booster

I bought this at my local WalMart for 17 dollars. I bought it for my mother in laws car and figured it would be fine since she almost never has my daughter in my car. It was cheaply made and you could tell just by the look (for 17 dollars I didn't expect much more though). My main concern, though, was that there was not a seat belt positioner. The booster is not high enough to boost her up to where the seat belt wasn't across her neck/chin. My daughter is 5, 43 pounds, and is 3'6". She would have to be at leat 3'10" for the seatbelt to be appropriate for her. I took it back and bought the Graco No Back Turbo Booster. It was only 23.99 and was much sturdier and didn't have that cheap look and feel. Most important was that I was able to adjust the seat belt to put it right where it belongs.

If your child falls asleep in the car a lot, do not get this one - get a booster seat with a high back & shoulder strap guide. We only used this once. My son and I both loved it - until he fell asleep...suddenly the shoulder strap becomes a choking hazard.

If you have an older child or one that does stay awake during trips, I would recommend this. The seat is light, easy to move, well-padded in the seat and arm rests, and it did work the way it was suppose to - just not the way we needed it.

I gave it four stars because there isn't anything wrong with the seat itself, but the age recommendation should be changed.

My son is seven but he isn't tall enough where the seat belt crosses him at the appropriate height and this booster seat now alleviates that problem. He loves the seat and the cup holder. The cushion is easy to install and easy to remove for laundering if needed. I like the look and ease of use and it is very secure.
