My almost 4 year old is over 40 lbs. so it was time to upgrade. He loves this seat! It's light weight so he's able to move the booster himself to a different spot in our minivan and he's able to put his seatbelt on and take it off all by himself. All of this makes him feel like a big boy. Also, he's mature enough to listen when we say he must never take the seat belt off while the car is moving. Keep that in mind when deciding on this type of seat.
My son doesn't fall asleep in the car much anymore, so I was not concerned about having support on the sides. I would definitely not recommend these backless boosters for a child younger than 3 for that reason.
I'm not a big traveler, but I can imagine using this lightweight seat on planes and rental cars, without the expense of renting or lugging a full-size, heavy car seat.
We highly recommend it!

I ordered this seat because my husband and I were taking our four year-old son on a vacation, and I knew we'd be riding in a lot of taxis over long distances so I wanted him to be safe. We'd only used a five-point child seat before this trip, so even though our son was (just) heavy enough (40 pounds) and tall enough for a booster I was quite nervous about using it. I chose this seat because it was one of the extremely few backless boosters chosen by the (American) Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (here's the URL for their booster test results: [...]). I admit I don't know if this booster passes European safety standards, but because of it's ranking by the Insurance Institute here I was willing to risk it overseas. Please note however, that if you're thinking of buying this internationally you might want to verify that it's considered safe enough by your own country's requirements, as they can be different.
To my very delighted shock, the 'Amp' car seat worked...Read more

I really liked this seat. Loved the blue color and shiny finish. The elastic strap around the two cup holders on each side was nice to accommodate all sizes and shapes of cups.
Overall the base/seat was a good size, a little smaller than the previous seat we normally use which was good because we were in a smaller car than usual. Of course if you have a small back seat and try to use it in the middle it would be wider than the seat area allotted for the middle person. Which leaves the people on each side a little cramped. This also makes the seat belt a little harder and trickier to latch. But it definitely served its purpose and was lightweight and easy to transfer from car to car as needed.
I bought this seat sight unseen from Amazon. I had never heard about it before my search and based my purchase off of the other reviews. I am glad I purchased this booster seat and had no regrets or buyers remorse. It was exactly what I needed and wanted...Read more
