After reading the reviews of TONS of these things I narrowed it down to the Evenflo Big Kid DLX, the Graco Turbobooster, and The First Years Compass. The First Years Compass looked great and got really good customer reviews but b/c it was not sold in stores nearby I would have had to order it in order to try it out which would also mean that I would have to pay to ship it back if it didn't work. I was pretty sure that it would be a good seat for us but since going with it would mean that I couldn't put all three of my kids on the middle bench of our '95 Odyssey (a definite downside) I decided to look at some models that would fit alongside my two Britax Roundabouts. This took me to the Evenflo Big Kid DLX and the Graco Turbobooster, both...Read more 47 of 49 people found the following review helpful: By Ms.AmandaRebecca (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews This review is from: Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat - Foxwood (Baby Product) I purchased this seat last year for my 4 year old daughter. From the moment she discovered the cup holders she was in love (they make excellent organizers for various toys...LOL). I like the convertible aspect of this seat. You can remove the back and use it as a simple booster seat. This has been useful during group outings. However, my daughter prefers the entire seat (as do I for her safety). I am pleased by the light weight of this item, and its secure fit in my car. The fabric is easy to remove to wash in a standard washing machine. The fabric is also incredibly soft, yet amazingly stain resistant and sturdy. I have washed the seat cover and the back padding numerous times without negative impact on the fiber. I am now looking to purchase a second for my nearly-three year old son. Another note, this seat offers comfortable padding in the head area, my daughter easily...Read more 32 of 32 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Evenflo Big Kid DLX Booster Seat - Foxwood (Baby Product) I reviewed all of the booster type seats and even did a consumer reports check and this seat was rated highly. I've had it for some time now and it stays pretty clean is exceptionally easy to change from car to car (fits in my minivan as well as in our sedan). My son falls asleap in it all the time and the side head rests do help his head from flopping all over the place. And the lights are okay too, although he doesn't use them that much. The cup/treat holders are perfect, he loves being able to have his own stuff and puts his toys in them when they are not in use with drinks. I like how it works and grows with my child. We have been slowly moving the back up and are now ready to remove the back all together and just use the base part. And the arm rests stay with the base. Over all I give this seat an A+ for all around use and safty. |
