Graco Booster with high back fairy tale: is this seat acually safe if it does not strap to the vehicle?

I don't think there are any boosters that strap into the car. At 28 pounds though the child should still be in a car seat. The safest thing is a 5 point harness for as long as possible. I just bought this booster for my child who is about to turn 6 and just hit 50 pounds so to heavy for her car seat. I suggest another car seat that goes up to 50 pounds and has a harness the child can't open not this seat.

Agreed with previous reponses--I would feel very secure using this seat in an older vehicle. The back/top tether is only "required" when using the seat with children over 65 lbs. Even with the latch option, I prefer using the seatbelt as it is easy to install/uninstall.

You can use the car seat with a seat belt. In this respect it can be used as a high back booster. The back does not detach to make it into a backless booster. Be sure to read the owner's manual for specific information about securing your child into this seat using just a seat belt.

This booster does not have a harness...you can only use the seatbelt. The padding is adequate. My 6 year old has never complained.

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 my biggest complaint. They can get tangled because of the padding surrounding them. It does sit a little higher then our graco which works well because of my small car however it doesn't look uncomfortable for wee one. I still prefer this seat over the Graco.

I don't see any problem with back seat I have mine in front and when I have a passenger I just flip seat over headrest and passenger can sit with no problem my little Pom. Loves it she sits in it so good I do snap harness just in case of fast stop.

You would just need the booster seat, not this one. Too make this the booster you just take out all the straps.

This booster requires a belt to go over the shoulder of the child. If it is just a lap belt and no shoulder then it would not be safe. Therefore I would imagine making it ineligible for airplane travel... However... They may let you use it regardless.

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.

It converts from a harnessed seat to a high back belt positioning booster. It doesn't convert to a backless booster.

No, it doesn't. It can be used with the harness and as a high back booster, but the back does not come off.

Yes. It has LATCH connectors to keep the seat secure when no child is riding.

I don't know. I believe that Graco has a warning about risks involved putting the seat on a shopping cart.

No. Why would you want a booster to recline? It is a high back booster and the back can come off for when the child is larger and just needs a seat to raise the child inorder for the seat belt to cross the child properly.

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.

No. This seat is just held by the seatbelt. However, Graco does make one that has the anchor clips.
