Britax Highpoint 2-Stage Belt Positioning Booster Car Seat (Green Ombre)

The Highpoint 2-stage Belt Positioning Booster is incredibly easy to assemble with the easy to follow instructions. Within a short time of securing the lower connectors we were ready to go in the booster with backrest attached. This backrest booster seat appears well-made. The color-coded seatbelt paths, and soft fabric throughout the seat, ensures both a safe and comfortable ride. Aesthetically this car seat looks great in its contours and fresh green ombre, flame retardant, fabric. The thoughtful safety highlighted is clearly noted in the user guide. In addition to safety, and easy installation, I love the easy to remove seat cover that can be cleaned along with the dishwasher safe dual cup holders. These two features will keep it looking its best for many years! My son loved the freedom of movement with the use of the cars shoulder belt. My son complained of the booster not fitting the depth of the seat, and the height profile of booster seat limiting his view out the windows. The one complaint I have is that the high back moves away from vehicle seat back when my son leans forward in position to reach for something, even though it is installed as instructed. This can be worrisome in the newly found freedoms within the increased range of motion of my 6 1/2 -year old in this seat. My son is 49” tall and 50lbs, although he meets the requirement for the seat, with backrest, I feel more comfortable waiting until he’s a little bigger related to the high backs movement when he is moving around. Overall, this seems to be a good, safe seat that will accommodate my son as he grows into the stages of growing out of a 5-point harness car seat. A seat for a few years to come! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this booster seat.

I have a squirmy 8-year-old (51" tall and 60lbs) who has a hard time sitting properly in a no-back booster seat. I installed the Highpoint in our 2017 Ford Explorer (passenger side, back seat, with LATCH) and was pleased to see that even though the back on the Highpoint booster appears to be a tad on the wide side right out of the box, I am not losing any of the middle seat space AND have no problem buckling the vehicle safety belt when the Highpoint booster is in use. We have used Britax seats since "Cowmooflage" was the coolest fashion on our 2003 Roundabout when my now 15-year-old son was a baby. So when I saw that the Highpoint has three layers of side impact protection, I wasn't surprised one bit! Britax has always equaled top-notch safety (and customer service) for me - and my four kids! Installation was super easy. One button to release the tension on the LATCH connectors, one pull to tighten the LATCH connectors. Once installed and after I threaded the vehicle belt through the red shoulder belt guide and under the door-side armrest, my son loved the look and had NO problem jumping right in. He was quick to point out that the "red parts" on the booster are where the seat belt goes when buckling him in (through the SecureGuard across his upper thighs and under the armrest on the buckle side) after I easily adjusted the head restraint height to his height and buckled him in. He then immediately noticed that there were two cup holders for his water bottles (apparently it's a big deal for him) and I already knew they are dishwasher safe! Score! His first reaction? "Mom! This seat is REALLY comfortable!" We have been using the seat multiple times daily for over a week now and he is no longer squirmy in the car! Britax sent me this product in exchange for my honest review.

The Highpoint Belt-Positioning Booster with Backless Mode is fantastic! For my son, it is soft and cushiony and easy for him to strap himself in without (much) of my assistance. I particularly liked the safety features! The security guard middle clip felt like it held my son in tighter than just a regular seat belt. The higher back made me my son feel more secure too. The guided belt guides are a nice touch but the best part is that the top belt guide is easy to use on a daily basis. While it may seem trivial, the other car seat we had - you had to feed the seat belt into this space and it easily comes out. With this car seat, it is permanently in this area and doesn't come out unless you force it to. Lastly, the quick-push connector made it super easy to get in the car. OH! AND added bonus, the cup holders are detachable and dishwasher safe. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me test this product.

My youngest son is seven and we needed a new booster seat as ours was falling apart. My son had trouble buckling himself in the old seat and frankly needed more independence. We were so excited when Britax's Highpoint Booster Seat showed up. I installed it very easily. First I pushed red button extend the strap for the LATCH connectors and once those were clicked in, I pulled the straps on the both of the sides of the booster to guide the seat into place. Next, I threaded the seatbelt through the shoulder guide. When my son used the seat, I raised the headrest first and then buckled my son in. I made sure to use the SecureGuard (that's the red clip on the seating portion of the booster) - that properly positions the lap part of the seat belt low across his hips/upper thighs. My son had the biggest smile when he saw his new seat. He really felt like a bigger kid and his exact words were "This is cool!” And did I mention there were two cup holders that click right in…and are dishwasher safe? My son was absolutely thrilled. The best part is he can buckle in himself in now.
