Its narrow 17-inch width allows three across in many vehicles, and the lightweight design facilitates easy transfer between cars. However, some users report limited padding for long trips and note the booster mode's shoulder belt guide may not provide optimal fit, so it is best suited for budget-conscious families primarily needing a harness mode for shorter rides.","url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-safety-1st-grand-2-in-1-booster-car-seat-black-sky","brand":"Safety 1st","condition":"new","product_category":"Baby & Toddler > Baby Transport > Baby & Toddler Car Seats > Booster Seats","item_weight_unit":"lb","age_group":"kids","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0805/9325/6728/files/safety-1st-grand-2-in-1-booster-car-seat-black-sky-8201774.jpg?v=1782573847","additional_image_urls":[],"images":[{"id":"img-1783486397505-0","url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0805/9325/6728/files/safety-1st-grand-2-in-1-booster-car-seat-black-sky-8201774.jpg?v=1782573847","width":1024,"height":1024,"alt_text":"New Safety 1st Grand 2-in-1 Booster Car Seat product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"mood":["neutral","calm","safe"],"text":"Safety 1st","style":["modern","minimal","functional"],"colors":[{"color":"dark brown","context":"main outer panels and base"},{"color":"muted mauve gray","context":"inner seat and headrest padding"},{"color":"black","context":"harness straps, chest clip, cup holders, plastic hardware"},{"color":"red","context":"buckle release button"},{"color":"light gray","context":"background surface and backdrop"}],"labels":["child car seat","padded headrest","side wings","five-point harness straps","chest clip","buckle with red release button","cup holder left","cup holder right","contoured seat cushion","fabric upholstery","stitched seams","plastic base","embroidered logo"],"flat_lay":false,"confidence":"high","description":"Studio photo of a padded child car seat with five-point harness, two cup holders, embroidered 'Safety 1st' logo, and contoured cushioning, shown three-quarter front view on a plain textured gray background.","season_occasion":["everyday"],"complementary_products":[]},"variant_ids":["52357490835736"]}],"price":"79.99 USD","sale_price":"59.99 USD","pricing_trend":"15% off","availability":"in_stock","group_id":"10325578154264","listing_has_variations":"false","variants":[{"sku":"SAFETY1ST-884392016654-NEWOVERSTOCK","url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-safety-1st-grand-2-in-1-booster-car-seat-black-sky?variant=52357490835736","image":{"id":"img-variant-52357490835736","url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0805/9325/6728/files/safety-1st-grand-2-in-1-booster-car-seat-black-sky-8201774.jpg?v=1782573847","width":1024,"height":1024,"alt_text":"New Safety 1st Grand 2-in-1 Booster Car Seat variant image","position":1,"variant_ids":["52357490835736"]},"price":{"value":79.99,"currency":"USD"},"title":"New Safety 1st Grand 2-In-1 Booster Car Seat","option1":"Default","sale_price":{"value":67.99,"currency":"USD"},"variant_id":"52357490835736","availability":"in_stock"}],"item_group_title":"New Safety 1st Grand 2-in-1 Booster Car Seat (Black Sky)","size_system":"US","gender":"unisex","shipping":"Free shipping on orders over $75 across the USA.

Since our four year old is still petite, a harness booster was definitely a must. The straps have to be rerouted through the back to adjust the height, but this was done in a matter of minutes. The light weight is so convenient, especially since this will be the seat we switch around from vehicles when he travels with someone else. The fabric is very soft, breathable and wipes clean easily. And not to forget the four years old favorite feature, double cup holders, \"one for snacks, one for drink.\" Overall, this meets all of my expectations and is a great option!","reviewer_name":"3littlebirdsmama"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Good car seat for a great price","rating":4,"content":"I received this product and was really excited about the quality of it. It's just as good of quality as any other car seat but for half the price. The fabric is really soft and comfortable on my little ones skin. I don't know how the install process is because my son does not weigh enough yet to use. I do wish this was a convertible car seat (which I thought it was and that's the reason for 4 stars) but once he's big enough to use this it'll last us for a long time. As far as I can tell the install process seems fairly easy. It has to standard size cup holders which is a nice touch, it's lightweight and it stills very tall which is nice for kids who are up there in height.","reviewer_name":"Hattie"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Does NOT fit 3 across in Town n Country MiniVan","rating":3,"content":"We purchased 3 of these and removed the cupholders to use the 3-wide feature for our children in our 2012 Town n Country Minivan. Unfortunately the 3 carseats do NOT fit side by side, there is a 2-3 inch overlap that prevents them from fitting so we could not use them. Our car has captain chairs in the middle so we must use the back row which is more narrow than the middle row.   The car seat itself was very light, sturdy, straight, and nice coral color. The padding was minimal but adequate and our children did like the look of the seat.","reviewer_name":"CNC"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Great overall forward facing 2 in 1 booster car seat","rating":5,"content":"My child is just about to turn to a forward facing car seat and this is a seat they can grow with. We were pleasantly surprised how lightweight and comfortable this seat is for our toddler. Our family will be flying internationally later this year and with the harness system the seat is FAA compliant, which combined with it's light weight will be great for our (by then) 3 year old. We love that the fabric and cup holders are removable for washing. Overall a great and reasonably priced product.","reviewer_name":"Mom of boys"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"I love safety first!","rating":5,"content":"We love safety first. We have two brands of car seats between our two vehicles and I love them both but I will say Safety first is much easier to clean, much lighter, and their customer service is amazing. As for this specific booster- it's SO LIGHT! This is a big plus for us because we have 3 kids and end up having to move them and clean the seats a ton. Looking forward to getting our boys out of a bulky seat and into this when they get a bit bigger","reviewer_name":"Heather James"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Good enough for my 4 year old","rating":4,"content":"Nice color selection. My first time using a car seat, so it took a while to understand how to setup on my car. Once you know, in the future it is a breeze. The manual could have been better-written, but good enough for me to understand after a few flips. Once secured, it won't move more than an inch. The bottom padding could have been thicker, but my daughter is not complaining. The 2 cup holders are convenient.","reviewer_name":"Bond"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Lightweight seat","rating":5,"content":"This Grand Booster is great and so easy to move and install from one vehicle to another. I love that it is a 2-in-1 and will grow with my child so I am not having to buy another seat! The fabric also doesn't seem to get as hot as others, which is nice when you live in a warm state. So far my child has enjoyed riding in it especially having a snack and drink with the two cup holders!","reviewer_name":"CML"},{"date":"a year ago","title":"Great Carseat Upgrade.  Easy to use and lightweigh","rating":5,"content":"Love this. Our 5 yr old granddaughter said that is was not a hard seat. Felt comfy. The cup holders hold her thermos securely. It's not so shallow that it flops around at all. Also, it is easy to pull the strap to tighten up once our granddaughter is in the seat. I Love the coral color. I bought two for both of our grandkids. Our other is 2.5 yrs old.","reviewer_name":"ffabbb"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Lightweight & affordable","rating":4,"content":"This is a great booster seat! It's very easy to install, lightweight, and looks very sleek. We installed it in a Ford Expedition and had no issues. The seat seems sturdy and comfortable. My only complaint is that the cupholders are a little shallow. Overall, this is a good seat and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.","reviewer_name":"BBriley"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Perfect Step-up","rating":5,"content":"This is our third safety first car seat, we started with the infant car seat travel system when she was born and then moved to the convertible to continue rear-facing.

Love that it has a 5-point harness or can be used with a seatbelt.","reviewer_name":"Ellexx3"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Great booster seat!","rating":5,"content":"Perfect booster seat. Super light weight but heavy duty. Installed like a dream and fit great in my small car! I have a taller child that sits in it and he says it's \"very comfy\". Cup holders fit most of the sippy cups for the car too! We will probably end up buying another for our second vehicle!","reviewer_name":"Madi"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Mostly satisfied","rating":4,"content":"I love that it's lightweight, has a harness & good head protection. The black harness buckle is tricky, as you have to push & slide, so I struggled a bit at first. The adjustment lever underneath the seat is also a bit tricky, but I'm still learning!!","reviewer_name":"Jan"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Great product!","rating":5,"content":"This car seat/booster is a lifesaver.

It's also easy to install making it very functional transferring it between our vehicles. Since it's so lightweight, it doesn't feel like it has a ton of thick padding, but my daughter doesn't seem to mind at all. She says it's very comfortable and was excited to sit in it! I also love how simple it is to wash. I can throw the cover right into the wash. The straps are easily adjustable, and I love how it can be used both with a five seat harness and high back booster. The measurements for the minimum and maximum requirements for both types of seat positioning are on the first page of manuel making it really simple to find. I also found the directions easy to read for safe seat adjustments for my child.","reviewer_name":"Anonymous"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Good and reasonable car seat","rating":4,"content":"Affordable and sturdy seat. Once you learn once how to set it up, in the future it is a breeze. It took me about 30mins to figure out; the manual could have been better.

It's lightweight, easy to install, and feels very sturdy. The black color is neutral and versatile enough for either gender. I haven't had this car seat long, so I can't speak to longevity, but it seems like it'll hold up for the long run. I gave it four stars because the instruction pamphlet is a little confusing and I had to keep going back and forth to fully understand them. Also, I love that it has built-in cup holders, but they're so shallow that any sippy cup/cup I put in almost immediately falls out. It's a mild inconvenience.

It sits lower than convertible seats, making it easy for her to climb in and out by herself.  My favorite thing about this seat is that it is SUPER lightweight. This will absolutely be the seat we use to travel with. My daughters favorite thing is the 2 cup holders at her level. (We also one a Graco Tranzition and they sit really low)  Installation was fairly easy, although anyone with larger hands may struggle a bit.

I like that it has the 5 point harness so we can use it as a forward facing car seat so it prolongs it's useful time for each child. It is very tall for a young kid, but this will be beneficial if used with a much older child. My son in the picture is 2 and 30 lbs so he's a little small for forward facing now but this gives some idea of size. The seat says the min weight is 30 lbs and he feels very secure in the seat.
