First, let me say that I love the size of the seat, I love that it is a five-point harness, I love that it folds up and is completely totable, and, according to our daughter, it’s very comfortable. My daughter also loves the size of it.
The only problem I have with this seat, and many other car seats, is if you have an older car–say from the 1990s–that doesn’t have hooks for the latches or some place for the tether, this seat won’t work in your car with the five-point harness. Because the the back of the car seat is cloth and padding without any structural support, it will collapse if it’s not tethered, or somehow otherwise secured. (No where did I find anything stating this, although it’s very possible that I missed it.) You can take off the back part with the harness, but the five-point harness, and the reviews, is why I bought this seat. For just a plain booster seat, I could have paid $50.
Had I known about the requirement of the tether, I wouldn’t have bought it. Fortunately, we were able to make it work in my husband’s car.
I am sure I would love this product if my car was newer.
Note to car seat manufacturers: Please take into consideration that not every one owns a newer car and design seats accordingly. I am sure there is a way to make them work for both. Rating: 3 / 5
