Love the latch!
Great booster for the price. Love that it has the latches making it feel all the more secure.
The Booster Seat
Perfect booster seat Easy to install Fit our 6 year old grandson Seat belt went securely around him and fell across his chest perfectly No problem getting him in or out Great construct and will be easy to clean Highly recommend
Great seat.
Works out wonderfully for 6 yr old grandson who out grew car seat.
Nice seat, easy install
Nice seat and is easu to install and move ftlm car to car. Has the latch systen to keep it secure to the car.
Love the latch system!
Love it! So easy to install and is super comfortable and safe for my son. I love the latch system.
Good non-back booster seat
Good comfortable seat. I saw others with adjustable armrests which I would have loved on this model, but put preference on the LATCH system. I like the storage compartment on this seat, which is easily slid in and out. The seat belt alignment device is a bit confusing but my child isn't bothered by the seat belt position. Overall its a good seat.
Little one loves it.
Little one loves the seat likes one cup holder and a snack area.
Great booster seat
Easy to install and remove. My children think they are very comfortable. Also takes up a lot less room in the back seat. Only complaint is it is difficult to open the side compartment due to the seat cushion being in the way. Overall very pleased and would buy again.
Great booster with LATCH
Sturdy and a breeze to install. My daughter really likes the color, cup holders, and comfort.
So Easy
We love it! So easy to install & take out. My son even said it was so comfortable & like he was sitting in his cozy bed.
Secure, convenient and perfect for grandparent car
We purchased the Graco TurboBooster LX with LATCH for our 6-year-old granddaughter to use in our vehicle, and it has been a fantastic choice. Why we highly recommend it: The LATCH System: This is the best feature. Traditional boosters slide around, but this one anchors securely to the vehicle seat. It stays completely locked in place, even when she isn't riding with us. Easy Independence: Because the seat doesn't shift, our granddaughter can easily climb in and buckle herself up safely. Fun Storage: She loves the built-in cup holder and the little hideaway storage compartment for keeping small toys handy during our drives. Low Maintenance: The seat is lightweight if we ever need to move it, and the machine-washable cover makes cleanup a breeze. The cup holder is slightly shallow for large water bottles, but that is a very minor detail. Overall, it gives us incredible peace of mind and makes traveling with our granddaughter hassle-free. Highly recommend!
You’ll be sorry you didn’t!!!
I have been buying Graco products for the past 13 years and every single time I have been pleasantly surprised at the consistency of the quality and affordability of each and every product.
Booster works great
Great booster! Positioner works well, seat is comfortable
Graco Boosters are the best
Best backless booster on the market. I and my wife, and son and wife, and daughter and husband have owned 6. wouldn't ever own anything but Graco products
Great Booster Seat, Just Buy!!
Easy booster seat to use. Love the latch feature to secure the booster seat to the car seat. Very easy to move from one car to another.
Great features
My son loves his booster seat. His other Mom had the same one…. We always went with GRACO. They make good products and most of all…. SAFE
Grace XL booster seat
My grandson was very happy with his new booster seat. I like the fact that it latches to the back seat hooks. Makes it a lot safer. Not all booster seats have this feature.
Satisfied Customer
Easy to install, my child loves it.its comfortable for him on long trips.
GREAT!
Easy to install, love the latch so even when they are not in the car, the booster remains in place.
DOUBLE CHECK SEATBELT ADJUSTMENTS
The booster seat is great. HOWEVER make sure that your seatbelts can be adjusted. While my son is well within the height and weight requirements for a booster (he’s 7.5) he is NOT tall enough for where the seatbelt straps sit in our backseat. So please double check if your seatbelts can be adjusted otherwise your children will likely not be tall enough to be safe.
Need to improve seat cushion padding
Great product, seat has minimal padding. My granddaughter says it's too hard and uncomfortable
Small children need high back
Quality was really nice but I didn’t realize that my small big kid would need the high back booster vs just the booster. She falls in the weight for just the booster. I wish you could buy the high back separately but you can’t.
Great booster seat!
We used the Graco TurboBooster LX Backless Booster with LATCH and loved it! It was safe, easy to transfer and install in our vehicles, durable, and comfortable! I would definitely recommend this to others!
Other brands do it better.
We use a variety of booster seats for our large family, but needed to pick up an extra so got this on sale. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. It is functional-- it works as a booster seat for a decent price. But everything it does, it does cheaply: -It doesn't really try to hide the fact that its just a big hunk of plastic. Sure, there's a minimum amount of fabric covering/cushion, but it is very minimal, and the seat is just feels hard. -The LATCH clips are pretty primitive, and are of a design that most other seats have evolved past, due to their difficulty to unlatch in certain seat situations. -The seat has hard points on the bottom of it that dig in and tear up the seat of your car. The instructions specifically tell you to put a towel under the booster so damage doesn't occur to the car. No other car seat is like this, it's ridiculous, and makes it so I can't recommend.
Bought 2 and both missing cup holders
I bought these a month ago and finally got around to opening them to put in my car. However, neither have the cup holders. Everything else is there. Who do I contact?
Good Value
Overall, a decent booster seat that's got a smaller footprint than some competitor models due to it being a bit more narrow and having the sliding drawer (vs. a second cupholder) on one side allowing more space for a passenger stuck riding in the middle seat. Note: the fabric slip cover can make it challenging to open the drawer; my 8-year-old has some trouble opening in due to the fabric not allowing 100% clearance to it. Especially liked this model due to the latch system. The latches aren't quite as robust as our previous one that was part of a 3-in-1 system (this car seat is a replacement that will hopefully carry us through until our very tall 8-year-old no longer needs a booster seat in the next 6-12 months) but the seat feels secure when fastened to the backseat. More than decent for the $40 we paid for it.
Product missing cup holders
Bought 2 for each car and both were missing the cup holders. The sleeve for the cup holder is there but the actual sturdy cup holder to put inside the sleeve is missing. Is there a customer service team we can reach out to?
Booster
Compact, light, simple design. I’m very happy with this purchase !
Check seatbelt adjustment
Make sure your seatbelts can be adjusted otherwise this booster seat will NOT give your child the height requirement to safely wear a seatbelt.
Watch out for seatbelt height
The booster seat is great. HOWEVER make sure that your seatbelts can be adjusted. While my child is well within the height and weight requirements for a booster, they are NOT tall enough for where the seatbelt straps sit in our backseat. So please double check if your seatbelts can be adjusted otherwise your children will likely not be tall enough to be safe.
Not safe AT ALL.
There's literally nothing keeping your child from tipping over, even when you turn the corner. My child is 5, 50lbs, and 3ft and meets the qualifications for sitting in this. There's no straps to connect to the metal bars in your backseat
Reddit Insights
3 threads · r/CPST, r/Parenting, r/AskParentsReddit parents and CPSTs see the Graco Turbobooster family—especially the backless versions—as a solid, fairly narrow, user‑friendly booster, while warning that not all Turbobooster variants are slim and that correct setup (like armrest screws) is critical.
Mentions of the Turbobooster are generally favorable or matter‑of‑fact recommendations; criticism centers on width differences between models and setup caveats rather than safety or comfort problems.
Themes
Use Cases
- Using a backless Turbobooster (including LX backless) for an older, booster‑ready child needing a relatively narrow seat in a tight back row or three‑across setup
- Transitioning a 5–6 year old from harnessed seat into a backless Turbobooster for everyday driving when they are booster ready and fit requirements are met
Watch Out For
Community Q&A
- Is the Turbobooster LX (including LX backless with LATCH) as slim as other Turbobooster versions?
- No—CPSTs state that the Turbo/Turbo LX/Turbo Stretch are all wider than the Turbobooster 2.0; the narrow reputation mainly applies to the 2.0 model, not the LX, so the LX backless with LATCH is not the slimmest option in the line.
- Which Turbobooster version should I get for a three‑across setup?
- CPSTs recommend the Turbobooster 2.0 (with the cupholders that slide in from both sides) as the narrow choice; they caution that the LX and other variants are wider and may be harder to puzzle three‑across.
- Are there any special setup steps or gotchas with the Turbobooster backless models?
- Yes—CPSTs remind parents to install the screws in the armrests and follow manual instructions carefully; missing screws or loose assembly is a common safety mistake with Turboboosters.
- Is a backless Turbobooster appropriate for my 5–6 year old?
- Reddit parents and CPSTs say a backless booster like the Turbobooster can be appropriate if the child is booster‑ready and the seatbelt fits correctly; otherwise a high‑back configuration or harnessed seat may still be better.
Compared To
vs Graco Turbobooster 2.0 and other Turbobooster variants
CPSTs clarify that the Turbobooster 2.0 is the narrow version, while Turbo/Turbo LX/Turbo Stretch are all wider, so families needing a slim seat should be careful which Turbobooster they buy.
vs Peg Perego Flex / Peg Perego HBB
For narrow high‑back use, CPSTs list Peg Perego models alongside the Turbobooster 2.0 as good slim options, though Peg Perego is noted as significantly more expensive, making Turbobooster more budget‑friendly.
Source Threads
CPST clarifies that Turbobooster 2.0 is the narrow model while Turbo/Turbo LX/Turbo Stretch are wider
In response to confusion about different Turbobooster versions, a CPST says the Turbobooster 2.0 is the narrow one and confirms that 'The Turbo/Turbo LX/Turbo Stretch are all wider,' while another commenter warns, 'Just make sure if you go with the turbo booster, that the screws get put in the armrests,' and a CPST adds that the narrow version is the one with cupholders that slide in on both sides.

Debate over high‑back versus backless boosters includes Turbobooster backless as a typical choice for older kids

CPST thread on Graco Turbobooster highlights version differences and setup reminders
In a CPST discussion focused on the Graco Turbobooster, technicians reiterate that parents must install the included armrest screws, and they emphasize the differences between Turbobooster versions—explaining that not all Turboboosters (including LX/backless/LATCH variants) share the same width or features, so families should double‑check they’re buying the version that matches their space and use needs.
