Great booster seat with a great pice! Needed a new seat for my grandson. I don’t always have him but I keep a car seat for him in my car. He outgrew his because he is so tall for his age. He fits perfectly in it and it doesn’t take up too much space. He says he likes it and it’s comfortable but I wish it had a little more padding in the seat, but I think that of all children’s car seats. I’m sure I’ll use it until he grows out of it and by then my youngest granddaughter should be able to use it.

Oh where to begin I just received these today I ordered 2 of them. I have a small suv 2016 Kia Sportage we are expecting our third and in no way able to afford a bigger car at the moment. I have been looking and struggling to find what will work I have a 5 yr old that is already in the seatbelt option and I have a 4 yr old who is still in 5 point but is just big enough to go to the seatbelt option although I’m not ready for it but in order to make this work on a budget this is what I have to do. Although the buckles are impossible to get to I have found extenders that I am waiting on that will make this easier and feel better about until either they get bigger and grow out of the boosters or we can afford a bigger car. We have always been fans of the Graco seats we still have the 4vr dlx that we thought wld last till they outgrew them not thinking we wld have a third. We also have the slims for hubby’s car he has the bigger car right now so we will not be changing those out. Once we get the extenders and my girls have had the chance to use the boosters I will do another update.

Una marca duradera y de mucha calidad. Mi hijo dice que está súper cómoda y el espacio que abarca en el auto no es mucho, queda muy bien ajustada al carro y el cabezal que aumenta o disminuye su largo, ayuda a que se ajuste bien el cinturón de seguridad a la altura de tu peque. Es una excelente inversión

This booster has become our go-to. We have 2 and plans to buy a third. The ability to run the seatbelt through the strap holder eliminates the issue of the seat belt moving or not being at the proper height- an issue that we were having with other backless boosters. Kiddo reports that it’s also much more comfortable. He falls asleep in the car often, and the headrest allows him to sleep comfortably so he’s not slumping over. We love how easy it is to remove and move it over to another car. Very portable and light weight. Overall a great quality booster and we have recommended to others too!

A Prime Perspective –
I was in the market for a new car seat because my daughter was outgrowing her old one—and frankly, I was tired of feeling like I needed a gym membership just to lug it around. I always thought high-back boosters started at 4 years/40 lbs., so imagine my delight when I found this one starting at 3 years/30 lbs. Cue angelic choir.
Like any responsible parent, I did my research (translation: read enough reviews to qualify for an honorary PhD in Car Seatology). The main complaints seemed to be about the latch system and the “wiggle test.” Apparently, without the seatbelt attached, some reviewers reported a five-inch shimmy. That’s not a car seat, that’s a dance floor. Still, I took the risk—mostly because I was done arm-wrestling the behemoth we had before.
The seat arrived quickly, in its original box, no frills. Setup was surprisingly easy—so easy, I didn’t even have to channel my inner IKEA warrior. It fit perfectly in my mid-size sedan, the fabric was soft, and my daughter gave it the coveted kid seal of approval by declaring it comfy before I even finished installing it. Big win.
The side-impact safety features felt solid without turning her into a burrito. But the highlight? The cup holder and the “secret drawer.” She thought she had discovered hidden treasure. I didn’t have the heart to tell her the manufacturer planned it that way—so as far as she’s concerned, she’s basically Indiana Jones.
Now, let’s talk latches. Contrary to the scary reviews, this seat actually has two latches, plus a slick push-button release and a pull strap that snugged everything up like magic. I gave it a firm wiggle test and—no salsa dancing. The seatbelt design does have one quirk: my daughter is thrilled she gets to use a “real” seatbelt like Mommy and Daddy, but the armrest design means she still needs help buckling herself. Minor inconvenience, but worth noting.
One funny (okay, slightly scary) moment: before installing, I let her sit in it on the floor. She leaned back and—whoosh—the whole back reclined flat like she was auditioning for a La-Z-Boy commercial. Not a design flaw, just user error, but let’s say my reflexes got a surprise workout. Lesson learned: chairs need cars behind them.
Overall: easy to install, looks stylish (as stylish as car seats get), and most importantly, my daughter feels like she “leveled up” to a big-kid seat. For me, that’s worth every penny and every laugh along the way.

Our son loves this seat because it’s comfortable and the cup holders open and close for “storing things.” I love it because it’s significantly easier to move back and forth between vehicles and fits between our other car seats better than his big/bulky car seat used to.

I’ve bought 2 of these now and they’re great. They are affordable without having to sacrifice safety. It has the anchor hooks which is nice and secure and very easy to tighten with adjuster strap in the front. Super easy to install and I love the strap that it comes with to hook on the seat belt to ensure a safe fit for your kids. They are slim and don’t take up a lot of space either which is nice because I have 5 kids so the back of my minivan is cramped but my 12 yr old can fit easily in the middle between these booster seats. I love that it’s offered in different colors allowing you to match to the interior of your vehicle or let your kid completely wild card it lol. Very functional and would definitely recommend.

Perfect upgrade for my growing kids. It is nice to purchase a car seat that isn’t super expensive. the fact it will convert to a booster is wonderful knowing this is probably the last car seat we will need to buy before not needing one. My child adapted well. Easy to adjust

I bought two of these for my 3-1/2 and 6-year old children. I had previously owned the Graco Highback Turbobooster Seat prior to purchasing these (very similar seat, but w/o the LATCH system). I was so pleased with how it performed for my oldest (he’s been in it since age 3-1/2), that I wanted to get 2 new ones so that I no longer need to constantly switch seats from vehicle to vehicle.
Pros: 1. easy to assemble, out of the box & car ready within 5 minutes. 2. storage spot on the bottom of the seat for the manual so you never lose the instructions. 3. easy to get in the right spot/angle in your car 4. easy-on and easy-off seat cover so you can easily launder/clean the inevitable spill, stain, or “accident”. 5. lightweight, yet sturdy, not bulky or difficult to install/remove 6. easily converts to “big kid” booster with simple high back removal 7. LATCH system keeps seat exactly where I want it so I always know it’s in the right place/angle in the car 8. easy front adjustment of the LATCH system means no scraped knuckles or contorting yourself in the backseat to tighten the LATCH anchors! 9. big kids can easily buckle (my oldest has been doing it since age 4), just check for belt tightness and/or twists, establishes good habits at a very early age 10. side impact headrest, makes it safer and has the unintended benefit of giving your child somewhere to rest their head if they fall asleep on long drives 11. the cup-holder and the hideaway storage compartment/tray keep drinks, snacks, games, & small toys secure and handy for the kids
Cons: (I don’t really think this seat has any cons, but these are some things buyers should be aware of) 1. The AFFIX Highback Booster with LATCH is not as easily portable as the standard Graco Highback Turbobooster seat. If you’re going to be frequently switching the seat from one vehicle to another, it will take a just a few moments longer. I feel the extra security of the LATCH system anchoring the seat into the proper place is worth the extra effort and money. 2. will make indentations/impressions in your seat when used long-term. Make sure to use a towel or seat protector under it if you’re worried about your car’s appearance or resale value long-term. But this is a con for all carseats from all manufacturers and models. 3. not a 5-point harness system, uses your vehicle’s seatbelt, and your child must be at least 38 inches tall and weigh at least 30 lbs. 4. belt positioning strap (for when they use it as a backless booster and you need to guide the seatbelt to the right angle at their shoulder) does not have a storage space and comes in the same package as the manual. So if you’re buying this for a child who just made it to booster size and is still years away from using it as a backless booster – you have to find a safe storage place for this strap and remember exactly what it was for and where you put it. There is an open area under the bottom of the seat where the cupholder is located upon first opening the box. You could tape it or store it in there, but that’s not what the space was designed for. I put mine in a sealed ziploc bag in my car’s glove compartment. 5. It is a bit pricey. I think $60 or less for this would be fair. I paid about $70/each for my two seats.
EDIT 10/17/14: Now after using this for about 3-4 weeks I can honestly say there is one true CON about this seat. It is going to twist and fold your seatbelts up in the back seat quite a bit. I notice that I am consistently having to adjust the seatbelt for a twist or fold as the kids are being buckled in. Definitely not a deal-breaker and not quite enough to drop it back to 4-stars for me. Maybe I would rate this a true 4.5 stars, now.

I got this booster seat for my 5 year old grandson, and it’s been great so far. He fits nicely and he says its comfortable. The built-in cupholders are a handy touch, and I like that the seat is easy to clean after spills. It’s also lightweight and portable, making it simple to move between cars when needed. Overall, it feels sturdy, safe, definitely a booster I’d recommend.

Bought to upgrade my 6 year old from a five-point to a booster. It was super easy to put together (5 peices total) and fits great in my mid-size sudan bucket seats. The fabric is well stitched and while I was looking for more of a black on black style to, the charcoal color matches well with my interior. It super light weight while also being pretty sturdy. Combined with how slim it is, switching it from one car to another is super easy. Paying only short of $60, it’s pretty bang for your buck. A note to the negative comments/photos/videos, this is a high back booster seat. Not a “carseat”. Boosters are made to give seatbelts proper chest placement. Sure, there are other brands and styles that offer the latch system and have “better” built in padding, but boosters aren’t made for luxury. It’s a stepping stone leading into not needing a carseat/booster at all. Also, car seat safety says any child under the age of six needs to be in a five point harness style car seat. If you’re worried about the empty seat sliding around in your car while driving, please reevaluate your driving skills. Seriously.

EDIT 10/17/14: Now after using this for about 3-4 weeks I can honestly say there is one true CON about this seat. It is going to twist and fold your seatbelts up in the back seat quite a bit. I notice that I am consistently having to adjust the seatbelt for a twist or fold as the kids are being buckled in. Definitely not a deal-breaker and not quite enough to drop it back to 4-stars for me. Maybe I would rate this a true 4.5 stars, now.

This booster has become our go-to. We have 2 and plans to buy a third. The ability to run the seatbelt through the strap holder eliminates the issue of the seat belt moving or not being at the proper height- an issue that we were having with other backless boosters. Kiddo reports that it’s also much more comfortable. He falls asleep in the car often, and the headrest allows him to sleep comfortably so he’s not slumping over. We love how easy it is to remove and move it over to another car. Very portable and light weight. Overall a great quality booster and we have recommended to others too!

First off, the main reason I am writing this review is to defend the latch system. Prior to purchasing this seat I read several reviews dinging the latch system for only tightening fully on one side, leaving the other with a little slack. Since this was really the only negative I read i decided to purchase and see for myself. Just as I suspected there are 2 overlapping pulls on the front of the base. If you pull them individually they each tighten a latch. One tightens the left and one tightens the right. So…the seat is tightly tethered on both sides. I am assuming most people that are complaining are pulling the straps simultaneously since they are on top of each other. This is the best system. Other system Ive had to tight the latches from the back and then when wanting to unlatch loosening them from the back to get enough slack was a pain. All of this is simply done from the front system and a push of a button loosens them. Im not one to read instructions…I get anxious and just start putting things together. It was easy to assemble and figuring out the latch system on the fly was easy too. But one thing, if your like me and dont pull out the instructions right away, a small tip…the cup holder needs to be attached and it is stored under the base of the seat. I looked in the box for a bit and thought something was left out. But I found it.
I purchased 2 other seats this week prior to settling on this one. I bought a Harmony and 2 days later returned it because the cup holders are right under the armrest. Made it impossible for my son to fit his taller sippy cups. A starbucks Grande water cup wouldnt fit either. I couldnt have that so I exchanged it for an evenflo Big Kid Advanced booster in Luca. that seat smelled like cat urine. We put it in the car and the next day the entire car smelled. Gone!! So third times a charm for sure. Super happy with this seat. Looks great, its comfortable, there is a cup holder for taller drinks, a storage cubby,doesnt smell and best of all….. an easy to use, secure latch system.

I’ve bought 2 of these now and they’re great. They are affordable without having to sacrifice safety. It has the anchor hooks which is nice and secure and very easy to tighten with adjuster strap in the front. Super easy to install and I love the strap that it comes with to hook on the seat belt to ensure a safe fit for your kids. They are slim and don’t take up a lot of space either which is nice because I have 5 kids so the back of my minivan is cramped but my 12 yr old can fit easily in the middle between these booster seats. I love that it’s offered in different colors allowing you to match to the interior of your vehicle or let your kid completely wild card it lol. Very functional and would definitely recommend.

Having been in an accident before (where the infant car seat saved our son’s life), safety was paramount so lots of research went into this and even after making my choice, I was still a bit nervous but after several months of use, DS and I are both happy with this seat! We transitioned from the Graco Extend2Fit so this was quite the leap but we decided that our son (48 inches, 50 lbs) was ready for a harness free, high back booster. What I wanted was a quality seat with latch system (✔️) and what he wanted was a “red and black booster” (✔️) so in the end, we both got what we wanted! The cup holder (located underneath the seat) was easy to find and install. Once in, it’s not going anywhere! The snack tray is nice if needed and slides in easily if not. The seat itself is pretty sturdy without adding a lot of bulk or weight. It is much easier to carry around than our previous seat! The basic latch system (same as previous) makes it slightly harder to switch between vehicles than other boosters but is worth it in my opinion! I like to know that it’s anchored in with or without our son sitting in it (others just flop around in the car and I’d worry about what might happen if we were ever hit again). I also like that the seat belt stays threaded through the shoulder guide when not in use which was an issue with others we looked at. The seat belt lays across his lap perfectly and the back can keep growing with him as he gets taller until I feel comfortable going backless or he’s ready to go without a booster. I was a little worried about the integrity of the back when first installed as the higher it slides up, the less sturdy it felt… However, once he was properly seated, I felt better and we’ve not had any issues since it was installed. Again, safety comes first in my book but for the price, I’d say we got a pretty great seat overall and our son asked that I “give it 5 stars please” for comfort and color. If you’re ready to transition to a harness free booster, I feel good about recommending this seat! We’ve stuck with Graco since our son was born and have never regretted that decision!

I was in market for a new car seat due to my daughters increasing age and her old car seat being cumbersome. I had always thought that the high back booster seats started at 4 years and 40 lbs. I was pleased to see this one starting at 3 years and 30 lbs.
I read the reviews and did my research. The main negative points seemed to stem from only 1 latch and having a wiggle space of 5 inches without the seat belt attached. From that point of view I could understand that the car seat would be over priced for a latch system that does not seem to do its job. Despite this I decided to take a risk and buy the car seat (mostly because I was so tired of lugging the car seat we currently had lol).
The product arrived promptly. It did not come in any extra packaging save its original box. Box was in relatively good condition. The product instructions were easy to understand and easy to set up.
Size was just right for its intended purpose fitting well in a mid size sedan as not being too big or too small. The fabric was soft to the touch and my daughter quickly proclaimed it to be comfortable. The side impact safety indicators were a definite plus but did not overly wrap around my daughter. My daughter especially liked the cup holder and “secret” drawer she found on the car seat. I obviously did not have the heart to tell her it was designed that way. ^_^
As far as the latch system, I noticed right away there were 2 latches on the back. it has a push button release on the front to give the latches slack to easily attach the latches to the car. The pull strap on the front quickly and easily pulls the car seat snug to the seat. I did not find any appreciable give to the car seat on a wiggle test. The use of the belt buckle has its ups and downs. My daughter found it quite exciting to use the seat belt like mommy and daddy. However with the sides and the armrests designed the way they are it is next to impossible for her to buckle her self at the moment. I realize its not a big problem, but it is worth mentioning.
All in all I found this seat to be easy to set up and install. My daughter is enjoying “growing up into a new seat” and the car seat looks a bit more stylish as car seats go. Other than my daughter being able to buckle herself in, the only negative thing I found was the back is unstable without a support surface. This is to say if you sat the seat on the ground with nothing behind it, and your child sat down AND leaned back into the chair, the chair easily gives way to reclining to a flat position. I realize this not its intended purpose. I realize that it is designed that way for ease to recline the chair and remove the high back when needing to. I even realize that in its intended purpose as a car seat, the seat gives it the support and there is no danger of the back reclining back. I only mention this because I was eager for my daughter to try the chair after setting it up and quickly had to catch the back of the seat before she fell back. I admit to being at fault, but I still deem it as a negative in my view lol.

I bought two of these for my 3-1/2 and 6-year old children. I had previously owned the Graco Highback Turbobooster Seat prior to purchasing these (very similar seat, but w/o the LATCH system). I was so pleased with how it performed for my oldest (he’s been in it since age 3-1/2), that I wanted to get 2 new ones so that I no longer need to constantly switch seats from vehicle to vehicle.
Pros: 1. easy to assemble, out of the box & car ready within 5 minutes. 2. storage spot on the bottom of the seat for the manual so you never lose the instructions. 3. easy to get in the right spot/angle in your car 4. easy-on and easy-off seat cover so you can easily launder/clean the inevitable spill, stain, or “accident”. 5. lightweight, yet sturdy, not bulky or difficult to install/remove 6. easily converts to “big kid” booster with simple high back removal 7. LATCH system keeps seat exactly where I want it so I always know it’s in the right place/angle in the car 8. easy front adjustment of the LATCH system means no scraped knuckles or contorting yourself in the backseat to tighten the LATCH anchors! 9. big kids can easily buckle (my oldest has been doing it since age 4), just check for belt tightness and/or twists, establishes good habits at a very early age 10. side impact headrest, makes it safer and has the unintended benefit of giving your child somewhere to rest their head if they fall asleep on long drives 11. the cup-holder and the hideaway storage compartment/tray keep drinks, snacks, games, & small toys secure and handy for the kids
Cons: (I don’t really think this seat has any cons, but these are some things buyers should be aware of) 1. The AFFIX Highback Booster with LATCH is not as easily portable as the standard Graco Highback Turbobooster seat. If you’re going to be frequently switching the seat from one vehicle to another, it will take a just a few moments longer. I feel the extra security of the LATCH system anchoring the seat into the proper place is worth the extra effort and money. 2. will make indentations/impressions in your seat when used long-term. Make sure to use a towel or seat protector under it if you’re worried about your car’s appearance or resale value long-term. But this is a con for all carseats from all manufacturers and models. 3. not a 5-point harness system, uses your vehicle’s seatbelt, and your child must be at least 38 inches tall and weigh at least 30 lbs. 4. belt positioning strap (for when they use it as a backless booster and you need to guide the seatbelt to the right angle at their shoulder) does not have a storage space and comes in the same package as the manual. So if you’re buying this for a child who just made it to booster size and is still years away from using it as a backless booster – you have to find a safe storage place for this strap and remember exactly what it was for and where you put it. There is an open area under the bottom of the seat where the cupholder is located upon first opening the box. You could tape it or store it in there, but that’s not what the space was designed for. I put mine in a sealed ziploc bag in my car’s glove compartment. 5. It is a bit pricey. I think $60 or less for this would be fair. I paid about $70/each for my two seats.
EDIT 10/17/14: Now after using this for about 3-4 weeks I can honestly say there is one true CON about this seat. It is going to twist and fold your seatbelts up in the back seat quite a bit.

To start out with, I purchased this after having the Graco 4ever DLX. Actually 3 of them. And if you have the space for it, 12/10 reccomend that carseat. However we were in an accident so lost those. I really didn’t want to repurchase the same seat for only highback booster, especially not knowing if I’ll have the same space for 3 of them. So after reading review after review and all the measurements for highback boosters, I settled on this one. To start off, it comes in peices. It was surprisingly easy to assemble and once we went to YouTube, it really didn’t take long! (Tip: the back goes underneath the seat part, THEN TURN! it’ll make sense when you see. Lol) but I’m not taking a star away for it. Second, It feels cheap and flimsy. The part where the seat belt goes through is very bendy and I don’t know how to trust it. As well as the back and headrest part seem pretty flimsy. If it wasn’t for the reviews on here swearing by it, as well as the anchors, id be returning it. And this is why I have to minus a star. The seat/base of it IS VERY SOLID AND STURDY! It’s very slim and I love the arm rests and where they position the belt on my child’s lap. And that alone will earn it 4 stars. Overall, I think the price, the overall quality and the anchors… I would have to reccomend it!
(With 2 slim fits and this booster, we fit 3 across in a 2011 Rav 4! Not ideal but like I said accident… it’s the safest we can get and they all fit. And I’m confident in these seats.)

The Graco Affix Highback Booster Seat has been a fantastic addition to our family vehicle. This booster seat is perfect for safely transporting my kid, and allows her to grow into the seat.
One of the standout features is the one-hand front-adjust Latch system, which creates a secure connection to the vehicle seat. This design makes self-buckling much easier for my independent kid, giving her a sense of autonomy while ensuring she is safely secured. It’s important to note that while the Latch system secures the booster to the vehicle seat, the vehicle lap/shoulder belt is used to secure the child in the booster seat.
The integrated cup holder and hideaway storage compartment are thoughtful additions. They keep her drinks and favorite items within easy reach, making car rides more enjoyable and less cluttered.
Safety is a top priority, and the Graco Affix Highback Booster Seat excels in this area. It is Graco ProtectPlus Engineered, offering robust protection in frontal, side, rear, and rollover crashes. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my child is well-protected from all angles.
Overall, the Graco Affix Highback Booster Seat with Latch System combines convenience, safety, and comfort perfectly. It’s easy to use, keeps my child secure, and has thoughtful features that make car rides more pleasant. Highly recommended!

Great booster seat with a great pice! Needed a new seat for my grandson. I don’t always have him but I keep a car seat for him in my car. He outgrew his because he is so tall for his age. He fits perfectly in it and it doesn’t take up too much space. He says he likes it and it’s comfortable but I wish it had a little more padding in the seat, but I think that of all children’s car seats. I’m sure I’ll use it until he grows out of it and by then my youngest granddaughter should be able to use it.

He says he likes it and it’s comfortable but I wish it had a little more padding in the seat, but I think that of all children’s car seats. I’m sure I’ll use it until he grows out of it and by then my youngest granddaughter should be able to use it.

Good product. Grandkids like it. Only difficulty is reinstalling high back. Must lay seat on its side to attach. Fortunately there’s a video online that demonstrates technique.

Oh where to begin I just received these today I ordered 2 of them. I have a small suv 2016 Kia Sportage we are expecting our third and in no way able to afford a bigger car at the moment. I have been looking and struggling to find what will work I have a 5 yr old that is already in the seatbelt option and I have a 4 yr old who is still in 5 point but is just big enough to go to the seatbelt option although I’m not ready for it but in order to make this work on a budget this is what I have to do. Although the buckles are impossible to get to I have found extenders that I am waiting on that will make this easier and feel better about until either they get bigger and grow out of the boosters or we can afford a bigger car. We have always been fans of the Graco seats we still have the 4vr dlx that we thought wld last till they outgrew them not thinking we wld have a third. We also have the slims for hubby’s car he has the bigger car right now so we will not be changing those out. Once we get the extenders and my girls have had the chance to use the boosters I will do another update.

Una marca duradera y de mucha calidad.

Es una excelente inversión

This booster has become our go-to. We have 2 and plans to buy a third. The ability to run the seatbelt through the strap holder eliminates the issue of the seat belt moving or not being at the proper height- an issue that we were having with other backless boosters. Kiddo reports that it’s also much more comfortable. He falls asleep in the car often, and the headrest allows him to sleep comfortably so he’s not slumping over. We love how easy it is to remove and move it over to another car. Very portable and light weight. Overall a great quality booster and we have recommended to others too!

Great transition from a car-seat. Big and sturdy but still light. They are comfortable for the kids and seem safe and secure. They look great too.

A Prime Perspective –
I was in the market for a new car seat because my daughter was outgrowing her old one—and frankly, I was tired of feeling like I needed a gym membership just to lug it around. I always thought high-back boosters started at 4 years/40 lbs., so imagine my delight when I found this one starting at 3 years/30 lbs. Cue angelic choir.
Like any responsible parent, I did my research (translation: read enough reviews to qualify for an honorary PhD in Car Seatology). The main complaints seemed to be about the latch system and the “wiggle test.” Apparently, without the seatbelt attached, some reviewers reported a five-inch shimmy. That’s not a car seat, that’s a dance floor. Still, I took the risk—mostly because I was done arm-wrestling the behemoth we had before.
The seat arrived quickly, in its original box, no frills. Setup was surprisingly easy—so easy, I didn’t even have to channel my inner IKEA warrior. It fit perfectly in my mid-size sedan, the fabric was soft, and my daughter gave it the coveted kid seal of approval by declaring it comfy before I even finished installing it. Big win.
The side-impact safety features felt solid without turning her into a burrito. But the highlight? The cup holder and the “secret drawer.” She thought she had discovered hidden treasure. I didn’t have the heart to tell her the manufacturer planned it that way—so as far as she’s concerned, she’s basically Indiana Jones.
Now, let’s talk latches. Contrary to the scary reviews, this seat actually has two latches, plus a slick push-button release and a pull strap that snugged everything up like magic. I gave it a firm wiggle test and—no salsa dancing. The seatbelt design does have one quirk: my daughter is thrilled she gets to use a “real” seatbelt like Mommy and Daddy, but the armrest design means she still needs help buckling herself. Minor inconvenience, but worth noting.
One funny (okay, slightly scary) moment: before installing, I let her sit in it on the floor. She leaned back and—whoosh—the whole back reclined flat like she was auditioning for a La-Z-Boy commercial. Not a design flaw, just user error, but let’s say my reflexes got a surprise workout. Lesson learned: chairs need cars behind them.
Overall: easy to install, looks stylish (as stylish as car seats get), and most importantly, my daughter feels like she “leveled up” to a big-kid seat. For me, that’s worth every penny and every laugh along the way.

Our son loves this seat because it’s comfortable and the cup holders open and close for “storing things.” I love it because it’s significantly easier to move back and forth between vehicles and fits between our other car seats better than his big/bulky car seat used to.

I’ve bought 2 of these now and they’re great. They are affordable without having to sacrifice safety. It has the anchor hooks which is nice and secure and very easy to tighten with adjuster strap in the front. Super easy to install and I love the strap that it comes with to hook on the seat belt to ensure a safe fit for your kids. They are slim and don’t take up a lot of space either which is nice because I have 5 kids so the back of my minivan is cramped but my 12 yr old can fit easily in the middle between these booster seats. I love that it’s offered in different colors allowing you to match to the interior of your vehicle or let your kid completely wild card it lol. Very functional and would definitely recommend.

Perfect upgrade for my growing kids. It is nice to purchase a car seat that isn’t super expensive. the fact it will convert to a booster is wonderful knowing this is probably the last car seat we will need to buy before not needing one. My child adapted well. Easy to adjust

I bought two of these for my 3-1/2 and 6-year old children. I had previously owned the Graco Highback Turbobooster Seat prior to purchasing these (very similar seat, but w/o the LATCH system). I was so pleased with how it performed for my oldest (he’s been in it since age 3-1/2), that I wanted to get 2 new ones so that I no longer need to constantly switch seats from vehicle to vehicle.
Pros:
1. easy to assemble, out of the box & car ready within 5 minutes.
2. storage spot on the bottom of the seat for the manual so you never lose the instructions.
3. easy to get in the right spot/angle in your car
4. easy-on and easy-off seat cover so you can easily launder/clean the inevitable spill, stain, or “accident”.
5. lightweight, yet sturdy, not bulky or difficult to install/remove
6. easily converts to “big kid” booster with simple high back removal
7. LATCH system keeps seat exactly where I want it so I always know it’s in the right place/angle in the car
8. easy front adjustment of the LATCH system means no scraped knuckles or contorting yourself in the backseat to tighten the LATCH anchors!
9. big kids can easily buckle (my oldest has been doing it since age 4), just check for belt tightness and/or twists, establishes good habits at a very early age
10. side impact headrest, makes it safer and has the unintended benefit of giving your child somewhere to rest their head if they fall asleep on long drives
11. the cup-holder and the hideaway storage compartment/tray keep drinks, snacks, games, & small toys secure and handy for the kids
Cons: (I don’t really think this seat has any cons, but these are some things buyers should be aware of)
1. The AFFIX Highback Booster with LATCH is not as easily portable as the standard Graco Highback Turbobooster seat. If you’re going to be frequently switching the seat from one vehicle to another, it will take a just a few moments longer. I feel the extra security of the LATCH system anchoring the seat into the proper place is worth the extra effort and money.
2. will make indentations/impressions in your seat when used long-term. Make sure to use a towel or seat protector under it if you’re worried about your car’s appearance or resale value long-term. But this is a con for all carseats from all manufacturers and models.
3. not a 5-point harness system, uses your vehicle’s seatbelt, and your child must be at least 38 inches tall and weigh at least 30 lbs.
4. belt positioning strap (for when they use it as a backless booster and you need to guide the seatbelt to the right angle at their shoulder) does not have a storage space and comes in the same package as the manual. So if you’re buying this for a child who just made it to booster size and is still years away from using it as a backless booster – you have to find a safe storage place for this strap and remember exactly what it was for and where you put it. There is an open area under the bottom of the seat where the cupholder is located upon first opening the box. You could tape it or store it in there, but that’s not what the space was designed for. I put mine in a sealed ziploc bag in my car’s glove compartment.
5. It is a bit pricey. I think $60 or less for this would be fair. I paid about $70/each for my two seats.
EDIT 10/17/14: Now after using this for about 3-4 weeks I can honestly say there is one true CON about this seat. It is going to twist and fold your seatbelts up in the back seat quite a bit. I notice that I am consistently having to adjust the seatbelt for a twist or fold as the kids are being buckled in. Definitely not a deal-breaker and not quite enough to drop it back to 4-stars for me. Maybe I would rate this a true 4.5 stars, now.

I got this booster seat for my 5 year old grandson, and it’s been great so far. He fits nicely and he says its comfortable. The built-in cupholders are a handy touch, and I like that the seat is easy to clean after spills. It’s also lightweight and portable, making it simple to move between cars when needed. Overall, it feels sturdy, safe, definitely a booster I’d recommend.
A. Lopez –
Bought to upgrade my 6 year old from a five-point to a booster. It was super easy to put together (5 peices total) and fits great in my mid-size sudan bucket seats. The fabric is well stitched and while I was looking for more of a black on black style to, the charcoal color matches well with my interior. It super light weight while also being pretty sturdy. Combined with how slim it is, switching it from one car to another is super easy. Paying only short of $60, it’s pretty bang for your buck. A note to the negative comments/photos/videos, this is a high back booster seat. Not a “carseat”. Boosters are made to give seatbelts proper chest placement. Sure, there are other brands and styles that offer the latch system and have “better” built in padding, but boosters aren’t made for luxury. It’s a stepping stone leading into not needing a carseat/booster at all. Also, car seat safety says any child under the age of six needs to be in a five point harness style car seat. If you’re worried about the empty seat sliding around in your car while driving, please reevaluate your driving skills. Seriously.

First off, the main reason I am writing this review is to defend the latch system. Prior to purchasing this seat I read several reviews dinging the latch system for only tightening fully on one side, leaving the other with a little slack. Since this was really the only negative I read i decided to purchase and see for myself. Just as I suspected there are 2 overlapping pulls on the front of the base. If you pull them individually they each tighten a latch. One tightens the left and one tightens the right. So…the seat is tightly tethered on both sides. I am assuming most people that are complaining are pulling the straps simultaneously since they are on top of each other. This is the best system. Other system Ive had to tight the latches from the back and then when wanting to unlatch loosening them from the back to get enough slack was a pain. All of this is simply done from the front system and a push of a button loosens them. Im not one to read instructions…I get anxious and just start putting things together. It was easy to assemble and figuring out the latch system on the fly was easy too. But one thing, if your like me and dont pull out the instructions right away, a small tip…the cup holder needs to be attached and it is stored under the base of the seat. I looked in the box for a bit and thought something was left out. But I found it.
I purchased 2 other seats this week prior to settling on this one. I bought a Harmony and 2 days later returned it because the cup holders are right under the armrest. Made it impossible for my son to fit his taller sippy cups. A starbucks Grande water cup wouldnt fit either. I couldnt have that so I exchanged it for an evenflo Big Kid Advanced booster in Luca. that seat smelled like cat urine. We put it in the car and the next day the entire car smelled. Gone!! So third times a charm for sure. Super happy with this seat. Looks great, its comfortable, there is a cup holder for taller drinks, a storage cubby,doesnt smell and best of all….. an easy to use, secure latch system.

Having been in an accident before (where the infant car seat saved our son’s life), safety was paramount so lots of research went into this and even after making my choice, I was still a bit nervous but after several months of use, DS and I are both happy with this seat! We transitioned from the Graco Extend2Fit so this was quite the leap but we decided that our son (48 inches, 50 lbs) was ready for a harness free, high back booster. What I wanted was a quality seat with latch system (✔️) and what he wanted was a “red and black booster” (✔️) so in the end, we both got what we wanted! The cup holder (located underneath the seat) was easy to find and install. Once in, it’s not going anywhere! The snack tray is nice if needed and slides in easily if not. The seat itself is pretty sturdy without adding a lot of bulk or weight. It is much easier to carry around than our previous seat! The basic latch system (same as previous) makes it slightly harder to switch between vehicles than other boosters but is worth it in my opinion! I like to know that it’s anchored in with or without our son sitting in it (others just flop around in the car and I’d worry about what might happen if we were ever hit again). I also like that the seat belt stays threaded through the shoulder guide when not in use which was an issue with others we looked at. The seat belt lays across his lap perfectly and the back can keep growing with him as he gets taller until I feel comfortable going backless or he’s ready to go without a booster. I was a little worried about the integrity of the back when first installed as the higher it slides up, the less sturdy it felt… However, once he was properly seated, I felt better and we’ve not had any issues since it was installed.
Again, safety comes first in my book but for the price, I’d say we got a pretty great seat overall and our son asked that I “give it 5 stars please” for comfort and color. If you’re ready to transition to a harness free booster, I feel good about recommending this seat! We’ve stuck with Graco since our son was born and have never regretted that decision!

My bien producto, se instala y desinstala facilmente, muy estable una vez puesto en su lugar y da muy buena seguridad al infante, recomendado ya que tambien es bastante comodo y el hecho que traiga respaldo le da una sensacion mayor al infante de que esta en su propio asiento como si fuera grande, muy bueno y recomendada este booster/sillita

I was in market for a new car seat due to my daughters increasing age and her old car seat being cumbersome. I had always thought that the high back booster seats started at 4 years and 40 lbs. I was pleased to see this one starting at 3 years and 30 lbs.
I read the reviews and did my research. The main negative points seemed to stem from only 1 latch and having a wiggle space of 5 inches without the seat belt attached. From that point of view I could understand that the car seat would be over priced for a latch system that does not seem to do its job. Despite this I decided to take a risk and buy the car seat (mostly because I was so tired of lugging the car seat we currently had lol).
The product arrived promptly. It did not come in any extra packaging save its original box. Box was in relatively good condition. The product instructions were easy to understand and easy to set up.
Size was just right for its intended purpose fitting well in a mid size sedan as not being too big or too small. The fabric was soft to the touch and my daughter quickly proclaimed it to be comfortable. The side impact safety indicators were a definite plus but did not overly wrap around my daughter. My daughter especially liked the cup holder and “secret” drawer she found on the car seat. I obviously did not have the heart to tell her it was designed that way. ^_^
As far as the latch system, I noticed right away there were 2 latches on the back. it has a push button release on the front to give the latches slack to easily attach the latches to the car. The pull strap on the front quickly and easily pulls the car seat snug to the seat. I did not find any appreciable give to the car seat on a wiggle test. The use of the belt buckle has its ups and downs. My daughter found it quite exciting to use the seat belt like mommy and daddy. However with the sides and the armrests designed the way they are it is next to impossible for her to buckle her self at the moment. I realize its not a big problem, but it is worth mentioning.
All in all I found this seat to be easy to set up and install. My daughter is enjoying “growing up into a new seat” and the car seat looks a bit more stylish as car seats go. Other than my daughter being able to buckle herself in, the only negative thing I found was the back is unstable without a support surface. This is to say if you sat the seat on the ground with nothing behind it, and your child sat down AND leaned back into the chair, the chair easily gives way to reclining to a flat position. I realize this not its intended purpose. I realize that it is designed that way for ease to recline the chair and remove the high back when needing to. I even realize that in its intended purpose as a car seat, the seat gives it the support and there is no danger of the back reclining back. I only mention this because I was eager for my daughter to try the chair after setting it up and quickly had to catch the back of the seat before she fell back. I admit to being at fault, but I still deem it as a negative in my view lol.

I bought two of these for my 3-1/2 and 6-year old children. I had previously owned the Graco Highback Turbobooster Seat prior to purchasing these (very similar seat, but w/o the LATCH system). I was so pleased with how it performed for my oldest (he’s been in it since age 3-1/2), that I wanted to get 2 new ones so that I no longer need to constantly switch seats from vehicle to vehicle.
Pros:
1. easy to assemble, out of the box & car ready within 5 minutes.
2. storage spot on the bottom of the seat for the manual so you never lose the instructions.
3. easy to get in the right spot/angle in your car
4. easy-on and easy-off seat cover so you can easily launder/clean the inevitable spill, stain, or “accident”.
5. lightweight, yet sturdy, not bulky or difficult to install/remove
6. easily converts to “big kid” booster with simple high back removal
7. LATCH system keeps seat exactly where I want it so I always know it’s in the right place/angle in the car
8. easy front adjustment of the LATCH system means no scraped knuckles or contorting yourself in the backseat to tighten the LATCH anchors!
9. big kids can easily buckle (my oldest has been doing it since age 4), just check for belt tightness and/or twists, establishes good habits at a very early age
10. side impact headrest, makes it safer and has the unintended benefit of giving your child somewhere to rest their head if they fall asleep on long drives
11. the cup-holder and the hideaway storage compartment/tray keep drinks, snacks, games, & small toys secure and handy for the kids
Cons: (I don’t really think this seat has any cons, but these are some things buyers should be aware of)
1. The AFFIX Highback Booster with LATCH is not as easily portable as the standard Graco Highback Turbobooster seat. If you’re going to be frequently switching the seat from one vehicle to another, it will take a just a few moments longer. I feel the extra security of the LATCH system anchoring the seat into the proper place is worth the extra effort and money.
2. will make indentations/impressions in your seat when used long-term. Make sure to use a towel or seat protector under it if you’re worried about your car’s appearance or resale value long-term. But this is a con for all carseats from all manufacturers and models.
3. not a 5-point harness system, uses your vehicle’s seatbelt, and your child must be at least 38 inches tall and weigh at least 30 lbs.
4. belt positioning strap (for when they use it as a backless booster and you need to guide the seatbelt to the right angle at their shoulder) does not have a storage space and comes in the same package as the manual. So if you’re buying this for a child who just made it to booster size and is still years away from using it as a backless booster – you have to find a safe storage place for this strap and remember exactly what it was for and where you put it. There is an open area under the bottom of the seat where the cupholder is located upon first opening the box. You could tape it or store it in there, but that’s not what the space was designed for. I put mine in a sealed ziploc bag in my car’s glove compartment.
5. It is a bit pricey. I think $60 or less for this would be fair. I paid about $70/each for my two seats.
EDIT 10/17/14: Now after using this for about 3-4 weeks I can honestly say there is one true CON about this seat. It is going to twist and fold your seatbelts up in the back seat quite a bit. I notice that I am consistently having to adjust the seatbelt for a twist or fold as the kids are being buckled in. Definitely not a deal-breaker and not quite enough to drop it back to 4-stars for me. Maybe I would rate this a true 4.5 stars, now.

This booster has become our go-to. We have 2 and plans to buy a third. The ability to run the seatbelt through the strap holder eliminates the issue of the seat belt moving or not being at the proper height- an issue that we were having with other backless boosters. Kiddo reports that it’s also much more comfortable. He falls asleep in the car often, and the headrest allows him to sleep comfortably so he’s not slumping over. We love how easy it is to remove and move it over to another car. Very portable and light weight. Overall a great quality booster and we have recommended to others too!

My bien producto, se instala y desinstala facilmente, muy estable una vez puesto en su lugar y da muy buena seguridad al infante, recomendado ya que tambien es bastante comodo y el hecho que traiga respaldo le da una sensacion mayor al infante de que esta en su propio asiento como si fuera grande, muy bueno y recomendada este booster/sillita

To start out with, I purchased this after having the Graco 4ever DLX. Actually 3 of them. And if you have the space for it, 12/10 reccomend that carseat.
However we were in an accident so lost those. I really didn’t want to repurchase the same seat for only highback booster, especially not knowing if I’ll have the same space for 3 of them. So after reading review after review and all the measurements for highback boosters, I settled on this one.
To start off, it comes in peices. It was surprisingly easy to assemble and once we went to YouTube, it really didn’t take long! (Tip: the back goes underneath the seat part, THEN TURN! it’ll make sense when you see. Lol) but I’m not taking a star away for it.
Second, It feels cheap and flimsy. The part where the seat belt goes through is very bendy and I don’t know how to trust it. As well as the back and headrest part seem pretty flimsy. If it wasn’t for the reviews on here swearing by it, as well as the anchors, id be returning it. And this is why I have to minus a star.
The seat/base of it IS VERY SOLID AND STURDY! It’s very slim and I love the arm rests and where they position the belt on my child’s lap. And that alone will earn it 4 stars.
Overall, I think the price, the overall quality and the anchors… I would have to reccomend it!
(With 2 slim fits and this booster, we fit 3 across in a 2011 Rav 4! Not ideal but like I said accident… it’s the safest we can get and they all fit. And I’m confident in these seats.)

Una marca duradera y de mucha calidad. Mi hijo dice que está súper cómoda y el espacio que abarca en el auto no es mucho, queda muy bien ajustada al carro y el cabezal que aumenta o disminuye su largo, ayuda a que se ajuste bien el cinturón de seguridad a la altura de tu peque. Es una excelente inversión

I love this carseat/booster seat. It’s so easy to clip on and loosen or tighten. Has the cup holder and a hidden compartment that slides in or out for snack or whatever else. Extremely easy to install. Seems very reliable. We have the same one in red for our older child and it’s been great for years.

I find it better than the tiny booster seats. I like it has back support. My daughter doesn’t weigh much so this makes it comfortable than other booster seats. It’s super easy to remove. I like the color and quality. Easy to use and worth every penny.
Matthew and Ashley –
I’ve bought 2 of these now and they’re great. They are affordable without having to sacrifice safety. It has the anchor hooks which is nice and secure and very easy to tighten with adjuster strap in the front. Super easy to install and I love the strap that it comes with to hook on the seat belt to ensure a safe fit for your kids. They are slim and don’t take up a lot of space either which is nice because I have 5 kids so the back of my minivan is cramped but my 12 yr old can fit easily in the middle between these booster seats. I love that it’s offered in different colors allowing you to match to the interior of your vehicle or let your kid completely wild card it lol. Very functional and would definitely recommend.

Ótima cadeirinha, muito fácil de montar. Atendeu totalmente as expectátivas

Es práctico, liviano y fácil de cambiar de auto. Sólo se ajusta con el cinturón de seguridad por lo que es muy importante dejarlo bien puesto y asegurar que el infante no se desabroche

The Graco Affix Highback Booster Seat has been a fantastic addition to our family vehicle. This booster seat is perfect for safely transporting my kid, and allows her to grow into the seat.
One of the standout features is the one-hand front-adjust Latch system, which creates a secure connection to the vehicle seat. This design makes self-buckling much easier for my independent kid, giving her a sense of autonomy while ensuring she is safely secured. It’s important to note that while the Latch system secures the booster to the vehicle seat, the vehicle lap/shoulder belt is used to secure the child in the booster seat.
The integrated cup holder and hideaway storage compartment are thoughtful additions. They keep her drinks and favorite items within easy reach, making car rides more enjoyable and less cluttered.
Safety is a top priority, and the Graco Affix Highback Booster Seat excels in this area. It is Graco ProtectPlus Engineered, offering robust protection in frontal, side, rear, and rollover crashes. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my child is well-protected from all angles.
Overall, the Graco Affix Highback Booster Seat with Latch System combines convenience, safety, and comfort perfectly. It’s easy to use, keeps my child secure, and has thoughtful features that make car rides more pleasant. Highly recommended!
