If it’s a high-back seat with side wings, the shape and size of the side wings should allow for good sight lines and peripheral vision, so that a kid won’t be tempted to constantly lean forward to see around them. A booster should promote correct posture a kid should be able to position themself in a seat correctly and stay that way, so they’re sitting up straight and not slouching. Passenger weight and height limits: 40 to 110 pounds 38 to 57 inchesīe easy to use safely: A booster’s ability to deliver a proper belt fit is what makes it safe, and several factors contribute to achieving that fit.
#BUCKLE UP SEAT BELT KEY HOLDER PLUS#
The GoFit Plus weighs just 6 pounds, so it’s not the lightest booster out there, but it is about average for backless boosters with LATCH. This seat is relatively slender-making it possible to fit three across, depending on the vehicle. (However, we wish there were a place to store the connectors when not in use if you’re carrying the seat around, they flap.) It also has expandable cup holders and a built-in handle on one end. The GoFit Plus has the same SuperCinch LATCH mechanism as the Chicco KidFit ClearTex Plus, making it very easy to install, tighten, and release with one hand. But backless boosters cost less, and having one (or several) on hand can be convenient. And many models-including our top and runner-up picks-convert from high-back to backless for carpooling, traveling, or when a kid has outgrown the high-back limits. In general, we recommend high-back boosters over backless ones for daily use because of the additional head and neck protection they offer. The Chicco GoFit Plus is everything you need in a backless booster. Passenger weight and height limits: 40 to 120 pounds 40 to 57 inches As we were preparing this guide for publication, we received the disappointing news that the RodiFix will be retired by the end of 2022 if you’re interested in getting one, we recommend that you move fast. Despite its high price, the RodiFix does not have cup holders, and it also can’t be converted from high-back to backless, which may be a no-go for some people. This seat weighs more than our other picks.
(It’s also the only one of our picks that reclines.) Like our Chicco and Graco high-back picks, the RodiFix is relatively slender and may be able to accommodate three across, depending on the car.
So the RodiFix is the simplest of all the seats to install, and it offers the strongest, most secure connection. It is the only one of our picks that has rigid LATCH (meaning the seat’s LATCH hooks are on adjustable metal bars rather than dangling straps, making them easier to line up and attach to the car’s anchors). The Maxi-Cosi RodiFix is an expensive high-back booster seat that’s great-looking and a pleasure to use. Passenger weight and height limits for backless mode: 40 to 110 pounds 38 to 57 inches Passenger weight and height limits for high-back mode: 40 to 100 pounds 38 to 57 inches Width of seat base (at widest point): 17 inches The top portion of the seat can be disconnected, converting it from a high-back to a backless booster. The seat’s relatively narrow footprint may allow for three across in the back row, depending on the vehicle. The KidFit ClearTex Plus features environmentally conscious Greenguard Gold–certified fabric, two collapsible cup holders, and the best seat belt threader of any of the high-back boosters we tested.
#BUCKLE UP SEAT BELT KEY HOLDER INSTALL#
( LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children this system allows you to install a car seat by attaching a pair of metal hooks or clips that are built into the seat to a set of anchors that are built into the car.) The LATCH system on the KidFit ClearTex Plus, which Chicco calls SuperCinch, can be tightened and released with one hand, and it actually delivers on its name. The Chicco KidFit ClearTex Plus weighs about 10 pounds and is easy to install and remove, thanks to a cleverly designed LATCH system. This attractive, high-back booster seat offers a terrific blend of safety features, creature comforts, and convenience.
