GRACO TURBO BOOSTER SEAT: DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW THIS WORKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK SEAT WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER HARNESS?
27852
Modern booster seats *cannot* be used without a shoulder belt. It increases the range of motion of the child's body in an accident as well as the risk of ejection and 'seat belt syndrome'. The seat should either be installed in a vehicle position with a shoulder belt, the vehicle should be retrofitted with a center shoulder belt by the dealership, or an extended harnessing seat (such as the Britax Regent or Sunshine Kids Radian 80) should be used.

It's a booster so it does not attach to the car. My older son sits on it and uses regular seatbelt to buckle in.

The rectangle part just slips into the seat belt console like a normal shoulder strap would. Tried it in several different cars. Adjust the strap so the dog can't get thrown to the floor. :D

I have this stroller and did use a graco carseat. It "sits" in there fine, we used the seat belt of the stroller and hooked it to where the seatbelt goes through the carseat. It did intrude on the other kids space, and it COULD fall out if hit very hard. It worked fine for us, though!

Heather,I think the description refers to the tie-on type seat cushions, which would cause this booster to slip; but if the cushion is built into your seat this booster should work just fine. It has an adjustable strap for around the chair as well as one for under the chair. It's straps down very tight. I would highly recommend this booster seat.

the headrest can be moved up with out uninstalling & belts can be adjusted for tightness but if you need to move the straps to a different shoulder level have to be able to get into the back of seat - same as with britax or graco -- all i do is release the safety anchor & undo one belt in less then 5 inutes my strap is adjusted & my seat is back in place

I do find it more difficult than our other Britax. I always have to readjust the shoulder straps and make sure the chest piece is in correct position for it to tighten correctly. Pulling straight out is the only way it will work though. Good luck!

The seatbelt works just normal, this pops into the car - you don't fasten it to anything and you put the seatbelt on as if it wasn't there. It's a booster seat... kind of like putting an old fashioned phone book under your butt. Its what most kids use that are older. Hope this helps.

It fits on the actual seat belt strap of the vehicle-- using a booster seat with the car's seat belt works for us. It really wouldn't work in a car seat that has a 5- point harness.

Miss Emma is a 5 month old mini dachshund who has figtured out to escape her crate on the back seat of my Tahoe. I was wondering how you would attach the booster seat so it is safe. Emma is pretty clever.. Is this seat safe? There are so many booster seats on the market..

Laura, Thank you for asking about one of our products. I can tell you that this Booster Seat does not come with a strap to keep the vehicle belts off the child's neck. However, there are tips in the instructions for that reason. You can also check out our Store and Go Backless Booster on this website. It does come with the positioning strap. Let me know if you have questions about either one of these Booster Seats.

I have not tried it as booster seat yet, my son is only 14 months old. I don't think you can detach the back anyway.

this is a booster seat, it does not anchor to your car's bench seat and it does not have its own harness. There is a loop on the side to keep the car's shoulder harness in the right place and you just use your car's seat belt/shoulder harness the "regular" way. In PA this is only legal for children age 4/40 lbs & up.

The harness is a one piece and meant to be worn on both shoulders. You can adjust the back tension, but not separate the two shoulder straps. Also the straps come without a belt, which you will have to acquire separately. Aside from that, the quality is good.

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.

The padding does not seem very thick on the seat bottom and seat back but my 4 year old finds it very comfortable and falls asleep in it. This is NOT a 3 point harness as it does not have it's own harness. The seat belt in your car is used to secure the child. The latch system simply attaches the booster to your car's seat and keeps it from sliding or shifting out of place.

The straps are in the back behind the car seat. You have to adjust each side individually. It is extremely hard to adjust when the baby is in the seat. The newer models have a pull strap in the middle front which makes it so much easier than this car seat.
