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.

Since I only just began to use it I have no idea. Since it is only rear facing for now till the child is 35lbs, my guess is that it could be used until the child is potty trained then he or she can sit in a booster with the safety strap across them.

You don't have to use latch system. If you don't it will be like using a regular booster without the latch. The britax SG is this seat without the latch. It's a bit less expensive. If you aren't going to use it, there's no reason to pay extra for it.

Laura, Thank you for asking about one of our products. I can tell you that this Booster Seat does not come with a strap to keep the vehicle belts off the child's neck. However, there are tips in the instructions for that reason. You can also check out our Store and Go Backless Booster on this website. It does come with the positioning strap. Let me know if you have questions about either one of these Booster Seats.

Thank you for your question. This booster does not include a carrying strap.

The safety strap is attached to the booster seat under the cushion. It does not displace the cushion when my dog stands. He hangs out the window all the time and loves it! This really was an AWESOME purchase!

Absolutely, the seat will work without LATCH. The safety paperwork provided explains how to use it in "older" cars. Basically, without LATCH, Ollie works like many other less expensive boosters, the seat belt is the only thing securing the seat and child. I still think it's a better purchase than others available, we've traveled about 3,000 miles this summer (not exaggerated) and my son hasn't shared any negative feedback. Double check the Clek website for the safety guidelines- I'm sure they have a PDF you can look through to make sure it will work for your car.

I haven't done it personally with this booster specifically, but did travel with a convertible car seat with no problem. We actually bought an affordable model specifically for travel in case the airline lose or damage it.

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, the seatbelt goes through straps on the back. The carrier sets firmly on the seat. It doesn't hang like some of them.

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

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.

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 did not, but would have if my neighbor hadn't given me their infant Chicco carrier to use. The Britax is a fantastic seat!!! I love it! Very safe & secure! I highly recommend this car seat!

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.

Hello BethAnn. Not sure if this will attach correctly if you dont have a separate headrest. Reason is, I clip the upper strap around and under the headrest and it attaches easily but securely like that. What makes the upper strap secure is the fact the part of the seatback near the headrest serves as a stop so the strap doesnt rise up and slide off... If your car has a good seam or indent at that spot, it may work. Otherwise, it may slip off which would make the carrier unstable and fall forward..If your pup is not big or heavy and it doesnt pull on that upper strap, it may keep it in place if you pull it tight and down toward the back of the seat more. My Doggie is just about 7 lbs. Perhaps you may retrofit this by somehow locking in the upper with the lower strap to secure it from sliding up and off ...When I have my pup in it I have to say it is a wonderful safe ride. I dont use a collar but a doggie harness and it clips right to the seat. Doggie can not jump or fall out. The only thing with using it is when someone wants to ride in the front with me, I have to remove the seat. Never tried the back seat. You might have more luck that way...and it might be a tighter fit. I think I would try it if the return policy (should it not work) is fair and inexpensive...I love mine. Good Luck!

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