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.\n Easy Independence: Because the seat doesn't shift, our granddaughter can easily climb in and buckle herself up safely.\n Fun Storage: She loves the built-in cup holder and the little hideaway storage compartment for keeping small toys handy during our drives.\n Low Maintenance: The seat is lightweight if we ever need to move it, and the machine-washable cover makes cleanup a breeze.\nThe 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.

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:\n\n-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.\n\n-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.\n\n-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.","reviewer_name":"ThreeJ"},{"date":"3 years ago","title":"Bought 2 and both missing cup holders","rating":1,"content":"I bought these a month ago and finally got around to opening them to put in my car.

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.
