Does the bottom strap prevent someone from sitting in the seat if it has large side bolsters (the sides of the seat come forward to "hug" you)?

No. The strap goes at the very bottom of the backrest, as mentioned by another response. However, the bottom strap was very tight in my car, which doesn't have a particularly wide bucket seat. It was not a good fit.

You can pull it down over those bolsters so it sits at the bottom of the back (where the seat and the seat back meet). I however wouldn't buy this model. These didn't last long. They are torn apart and ragged. Not very well constructed.

I normally wear bathing suites that tie in the back and I have found that the stretchy part is handy when sitting up or lying on your back. I will say that you can feel the stitching of where the two materials meet but it doesn't bother me. The stretchy part is looser then the rest of the chair, but unless you have back problems and need alot of support I wouldn't think it would bother youi.

No its not! Its so uncomfortable. It digs in your shoulder because its round, its not flat.... sorry I meant the shorter straps. The long one is ok, not padded like others say but its not bad.

No, but it does keep the strap in place. It is recommended that you use it.

This is hard to explain - the straps are folded on themselves at the end and sewn in place (like a loop?), it goes thru the slots in your chair then the strap (that's sewn and folded) opens and catches, preventing it from pulling back thru. I hope this helps.

Hello, The straps are fully adjustable and hooked with a clip for each strap to ensure the cushion remain in position tight enough. They are not elastic but is long enough to cover most types of seats. Elastic straps will get loose over time. Thank you,

No, there's a nob on the side that I believe adjusts the tension for reclining (it doesn't make much of a difference), but otherwise you're out of luck.

Yes, outer hip and lower back, torso, side torso. No back bending with the strap, though back bending does not elongate the tissues in the back, but rather elongates the front of the torso, therefore stretching the "front".

The strap is short enough that this seems like an unlikely scenario. Additionally, the support within the booster seat itself (higher walls), plus the added padding we usually put (blankets around her) seem to help. Whenever my dog is in the car, I drive more carefully as well.

It straps to the back and the bottom. I like this booster, Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat, Blue/Green/Gray , so much better than the safety 1st. I bought the safety 1st as a second booster for our 3 and 1/2 year old and it is not near as comfortable and he spills a lot more because it sits him up so high.

Yes it does. It stays in place easily. The strap is elastic so it fits all chairs.

It covers only back of the seat. The strap is to small and it don't feet my Honda civic seat. But if it did, yes it will annoy you,I think.

You can tighten it up right into the bottom of the seat. No sag. Very snug.

Yes!! Several times my daughter unbuckled herself without me knowing. I would not buy this seat again.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there.But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

Yes. Short of sitting in it myself, I keep pressing down on the seat and pulling the strap, from both sides of the car. Additionally, we've taken the anchor strap used in the forward facing position and clipped it to the bar under the rear seat. This does help it feel more secure.

Yes, it has straps that go around the seat and the back of the chair it's sitting on. The straps are adjustable for any size of chair. It's very secure and doesn't slip. My grandson is almost a year old and still sits in it all the time for eating. It collapses for easy carrying so my daughter takes it along when traveling as well.
