GMC Acadia owners with captains chairs: is it easy for the child to buckle and unbuckle themselves with this booster installed in a captain's chair?

Yes, as long as the captains chair arms are up. My 4 yr old does quite well wih it

Hey Rich- what I'll do is rollover the canoe with the backend clear and simply set the carriage on the bottom upside down, then cinch it down, flip it over & ur ready to go. Its important to get the strap over something like a tie down or notch in the kayak so it doesn't slip off. I have mine balances well enough my kids can jump in it when I'm wheeling it to the beach. Happy canoeing!� Brad

No, this is strictly for strapping to a chair to feed your kid. If you are looking for a car booster seat, I suggest Walmart, last time I looked they had some as cheap as $15

I do find that sometimes it is hard to tighten when my son is in the seat. For some reason it seems easier if he isn't in it. If I have it tightened almost to where a need it with only a little slack it isn't too difficult to make minor adjustments once he is in it.

Personally I dislike the included harness. It is not the easiest to use. I bought the set and don't use the harness. My son is secure in it and can move forward and back. Maybe wait for the chair to arrive and see if you like the harness. If so then you won't need the set.

We are not using it daily b/c we were barely able to use it as a travel booster. It collapses in the front of the seat causing the child to slide forward... It was better than nothing but I certainly would not use it daily. We have a Tripp Trapp chair by Stokke and will therefore never need a booster.

You need to move the mat to stow the captains chairs, but the back seats are still pretty easy to do. I've found the back seats do hit the very edge of the mat when being un-stowed, so we usually have someone hold the mat up slightly while putting the back seats up again, to prevent pinching the mat. Although, if you don't mind the mat being pinched, it doesn't make a difference.

Yes it's comfortable but not removable. My 5 year old usually is able to secure the seat belt herself. No complaints so far.

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!

I am sorry I would not want to say for sure, especially if the captain's chair swivels or is located at the front of the car. You may want yo double check with the manufacturer for their recommendations: thefirstyears.com/car-seats‎

The straps are very easy to tighten if the seat is not installed. However, after you fasten the seat in the vehicle and the mechanism that snaps down to clamp to the vehicle's seatbelt is in place, then the straps are a little difficult to move. It is easy to make a small adjustment, but for a large adjustment in the strap length it is more difficult. So all that you need to do if you need to make a large adjustment in the strap length is to release the mechanism that clamps to the vehicle seatbelt and then make your adjustment and then put it back and put your child back in the seat to make the final adjustment. This may take 1 or 2 tries when you first install the seat but it is not a big deal. And this seat is so easy to install with the new mechanism that clamps down on the seatbelt that overall it will still save you time and effort to install over a conventional seat, even if you have to unclamp it from the vehicle seatbelt once or twice to make a strap length adjustment.

Yes, the seatbelt stays in the loop when unbuckled. It is very easy for my 4 year-old to buckle herself.

Yes quite easy. This one i bought for a 78 yo lady who rides my bus. The chair part and any part unfolds with ease, no struggling, no fighting with it just fold and go!

Yes, just slide your seat belt through the two slots on the bottom of the Booster seat and latch the seat belt.

Yes, very easy. Pull the pin under the seat and it just slides right off. I usually leave the bracket on the neck. It doesn't get in the way when you are riding without the little one.

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

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.
