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.

Thank you for your reply ... I have actually had this stroller for 11 months and I've been putting the Graco Snugride in the back the whole time. It is completely safe and snug. The weight of the carrier falls well beween the two sets of wheels and is extremely sturdy. I appreciate your warning of "looking like such and incompetant" ... but I would never, ever put my children in danger, even if I don't follow every rule to the letter.

Boosters don't need anchor clips. The car's seat belt holds the seat and child in place.

I Have a graco car seat and it works fine. It isn't specifically designed for any latch system, but has a safety strap to secure the seat in place.

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.

When using this seat with the harness, we recommend using either LATCH or the seat belt. Using both methods could actually create safety concerns. If you are using this seat in booster mode, then you can certainly use the LATCH system as an anchor for the seat when the child is not in the seat.

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.

Not unless you have the roller carrier for it. It's pretty heavy, that's why its such a safe and wonderful car seat!

Yes. That's how I use my Medic-Air Back Pillo. It's wonderful. I have only one complaint. I use it without the straps because of the configuration of the chair, so every time I get out of the recliner, the pillow falls forward onto the seat. It's not a big deal, but I wish it would stay put.

Yes. I am keeping it on for my own sense of safety but most of my daughters friends have backless boosters that is why I bought this one. I'm happy now but realize I will remove the back when she realizes I'm a worry wart.

No, I would not recommend unless sitting up well. No harness straps just a very good seatbelt with between the legs strap.

My granddaughter is 7 years old and is using a booster seat in the car. She loves her seat pet. It straps onto the regular seat belt that stretches across her chest, giving her a place to lay her head. No problem at all.

I don't notice the straps when sitting in the driver's seat. If you have a large dog, I would not recommend this item as it cannot support their weight and the firm inserts will eventually bend/break and the item will be useless.

Hi. Installing the car seat with the only the seatbelt is not safe. Use the hooks behind the seat cushion to attach the car seat. If the car seat is still wobbly place your entire weight on the seat and then attach the latch. Finally, with the car seat installed head over to your local fire department and let them inspect it also. Good luck and have a safe ride.

No, most booster style seats just sit on the seat, and the child uses the regular seat belt. It's a nice seat, mt son has been using it for about a year now. No complaints, but a little pricey :/

There are Latch hooks on this seat, but they are not for securing the seat in case of accident...they are on fixed length 6'' tethers that are meant only for keeping the seat from flying around the car when the seat is not occupied. The seat is designed to be held securely by the vehicles seat belt restraint system! Yes, I highly recommend this seat, we are completely satisfied with the safety of the seat. You have to be sure to use the shoulder restrain properly and that means fully extending the belt completely out and letting it reel itself back to engage the lock sprocket! Remember to read your vehicles manual for the proper use of your restraint system.

Yes! In fact, we didn't use the latch system(car didn't have one) just the seat belt and the car seat did excellent in our rollover accident! Our son is now big enough to use this seat just as a booster and the seat belt works well that way as well. This seat has been a great investment for our family.
