how does it convert to a booster seat ?

Hi, I have as yet to use that feature, but the directions say to remove the seat pad, and part of the back (the tall part) comes off, and you only use the lap safety belt, rather than the 5 point harness.

Quite honestly I don't know how this seat will support kids up to 90 lbs. just based upon the length of straps. I share your concerns. My child is approximately 38 lbs and definitely has room for growth, but I do not think it will realistically last through the booster seat years. I hope this helps.

No. This is not a convertible seat. It is a booster seat with 5 point system. The back raises up and down as needed to fit the child appropriately as they grow.

I don't have any of the booster seats yet, but the website says it'll fit. They even give a list of all the models that fit and the pinnacle 90 is one of them. That pinnacle 90 looks like a pretty cool though

The car seat is a booster. It sits on the backseat of the car and is fastened in place by the combination lap and shoulder belt of the car.

You're not supposed to move them to a booster seat until they have fully outgrown the forward facing carseat. It's not safe. I bought this for my 6 year old.

It is a great chair, but I would not recommend putting a booster seat on it.

My understanding is that it can not transition to a backless booster, but the headrest adjusts to accommodate children as then grow taller.

Yes. It has little elastic loops that attach to little hooks on the seat part and on the back part. The back is completely removable as well. Super easy to get in and out of the car. Very light weight. Hands down the best booster seat.

I would think the seat could be used by any child who would normally use a booster seat.

As others have stated, it depends on the height and weight of your child, not their age for appropriateness. You should also be sure your child meets the laws in your state to move from a car seat to a booster seat. Some parents feel safer using the boosters that have a back; amazon sells those too. They're called "Graco Highback TurboBooster Car Seat" (amazon link: http://amzn.com/B004GEC8LU).

Your state laws may vary. But here is a rule of thumb. To move from seat type to seat type - meet these minimum requirements (all 3) Move from a car seat to a booster with back @ 3/30/30 meaning 3 yrs old + 30 inches height + 30 lbs weight. Move to a BACKLESS booster at 4/40/40 meaning 4 yrs old + 40 inches height + 40 lbs. Move to just a seatbelt at 5/50/50 - at least 5 years ago and 50 lbs and 50 inches tall.

This seat is a booster and does not have any straps to affix it to the car seat. The only restraint is the actual car restraint which should have a lap belt and shoulder strap. It is only made for larger children so that the car restraint does not fit up to their necks

Not sure but ours are just tucked behind the booster seat in the chair. We LOVE these boosters!! Our girls are 5 1/2 and 3 and have been using them for 2 years and still going strong! Great product!

As long as there is ample room for this item to fit and the booster seat fits securely it should work great!

You can use this seat as a booster usung the lap/shoulder belt for a child weighing 50-120 pounds.

Yes the belt just runs through the back just like any other seat, this seat also has a back that moves as your child grows and can be used as a booster.
