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.

There are two straps. There is a headrest strap and a strap that has to go BEHIND the seat, so unless you can get behind the seat to clip the strap, it isn't going to work.

I purchased mine for the booster seats for my grandchildren. The booster seats are in the back seat of my Chevy Tahoe. But I originally ordered the wrong type, so I contacted the seller and they were very helpful. My suggestion if you are not sure contact the seller who would be able to answer your questions.

This hooks onto the collar where leash would be connected (see left on picture) and then into the seat belt connection (see right end in picture). It does not connect to the vehicle seat belt. Not certain what is meant by back seat shoulder harness belt.

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.

Josip C. - These come with an instruction sheet in case my explanation is not clear enough. You sit in the car and fasten the seat belt to where it is comfortable for you. While still fastened in place, you bring the shoulder harness belt together with the lap belt to a point about the middle of your stomach. Then you hook both sides of one of the clips over both seat belts. Voila'! Stays in place even when you release the seatbelt to leave the automobile. Hope this helps. I really love this product. It makes driving so much more comfortable for me.

I'm not sure - we have it in the backseat of a Honda Accord and it fits nicely in the seat next to the door on either side - it does not encroach onto the center seat at all. It's wider at the front of the seat than the back and also slightly thicker at the front. The back of the safety seat has a little "lip" that is meant to fit (I think) into the fold where the seat back meets the actual seat to help keep the booster in place. If it gets knocked askew my child just puts in back in the right position before seating. It's solved a major problem for us in that now the seat belt is correctly positioned across our child's body and not across their face/neck. This is so lightweight and not bulky, its easy to quickly move and store in the trunk if we are transporting all adults vs. children.

No...it is a booster with back...awesome and very safe...has a guide for the belt and the extra safety guide between the legs to prevent submarine issues that other booster seats don't!

It just sits on the seat and your child is buckled in with the standard seat belt. I've actually never seen a seat only (no back) booster that latches in.

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.

There is a strap on the top. We use that to get the carrier in and out of the car. Otherwise, we just use the rolling feature of the carrier. It would be too bulky to use with a shoulder strap.

I have always felt better to put off to one side as there isn't a headrest in the middle & the top of the booster is pretty large....it secures very snug w a shoulder belt. I think it would be too tipsy otherwise ....love mine!

Contact Britax. They will send you a replacement. Or you can return it to Amazon (if that is where you purchased the seat). Do NOT use the seat without the chest clip fastened. It is required to use the chest clip and it should be at nipple level or armpit level. Also if you child is rear facing, make sure the straps are at or below their shoulders. If the child is forward facing the straps should be above the shoulders. This is very important for the seat's performance in a crash.

Yes, when in harness mode, not in booster mode. Recline handle is in the front at bottom of seat so you can reach it without having to uninstall. My kid falls asleep in it without recline, the side wings are good for that.

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

Shoulder harness or lap belt doesn't matter as you won't use the strap part of the seat belt. You just need a buckle, and yes, it will work in the backseat. I recommend getting a harness as well that would go around the dog's chest/shoulders. Otherwise, you have to attach this listed belt to the collar, which would certainly snap the dog's neck in an accident.

I do not attach to shoulder I attach to lap belt. Also have a pet hammock in back seat so he is not thrown to floor
