 Fantastic slim design, secure and easy installation! September 1, 2010
avidreader
Title pretty much says it all. We bought the original Safeguard Go product about 2.5 years ago and it has been great. We are now planning to buy a second one in the new Safety 1st version for our younger child who is now big enough for it.
The slim design works well in our Civic backseat, making it possible for a third passenger to fit between two carseats (and that passenger will have even more room once we've got two of these "Go" seats rather than one "Go" and one bulky conventional 5-point harness carseat).
My kids are now old enough they rarely fall asleep in the car, but when my son did he never mentioned anything about being uncomfortable. The side wings of the headrest seemed to support his head well. However, since this flexible-back booster conforms completely to the seat of the car, I think the angle of the vehicle seat is probably what causes a child's head to loll forward in some vehicles. Our vehicle's seats do angle back slightly.
Anyway, one of the best things about this seat is how quick and easy it is to get a super snug, tight installation, moreso than with car seats that have a bulky, awkwardly shaped base to them. I never worry that the seat could slide around too much because it has no wiggle room whatsoever once it's in. You can easily see and feel that it's installed correctly--which to me is just as important as the safety features of the seat itself.
The fold-up design is ideal for travel. It does require full LATCH including BOTH the top and bottom tether anchors (for the 5-point harness use). If you are renting vehicles when you travel in the U.S. this should not be a problem b/c car rental agencies always have current models or only a few years old. Same with most reputable taxi services. But if we are visiting friends we always check ahead to make sure their cars accommodate. This seat probably wouldn't be the best choice for international travel for this reason. I don't consider this a drawback because this product has so many other benefits that matter for day-to-day use, so I feel it's worth the money we spent. We have "typical" 5-point harness car seats in our van so we know if we travel outside the U.S. we'd either need to take those with us or purchase seats at our destination.
The only other complaint I can think of is it might be nice to add a cupholder. :)
Overall we LOVE this seat and often recommend it to friends.
Love this car seat August 24, 2010
Angie (Seattle, WA)
This car seat is great. I had a hard time finding a car seat with the 5-point harness that converted into a booster (that's wasn't super expensive). This is one of the higher rated seats and it's great. My daughter is almost 4 so having the 5-point harness was a must. Her pediatrician said a 5-point harness is the safest so that's what I wanted to get for her.
It comes with a storage bag which is really nice, making it very easy to carry for travel. The back of the car seat isn't rigid which I thought was a little weird at first, but it's actually a great idea because the seat moves with the seat when it's reclined. I have a Mazda 5 with reclining seats and my daughter loves to be able to lay back. It also has an adjustable headrest (moves up and down) so it's quite functional. The one thing it doesn't have is cup holders. My car has cup holders but my daughter isn't quite tall enough yet to reach them. Really the only drawback - oh, and I wish there were more colors. My daughter picked blue and she's really happy with it.
I would recommend this car seat to anyone, especially someone who is torn between a booster and a high back booster. This fits the bill perfectly. It has the 5-point harness which is the safest for kids, and converts to a booster when they are bigger.
 Hybrid Seat. Not what I expected... but still like it. August 13, 2010
OGRMomma (Massachusetts)
So I thought I did my research really well but was surprised when I opened this item and found that the back of the seat is really only the foam cushions. At first I was kicking myself for missing the obvious but once I slept on it I realized the reason I dislike the "other" high back boosters was the cheesy plastic backing. I LOVE that this seat was easy to install and that my little guy is still in a five point harness. For the money, it is really exactly what I was looking for afterall. He seems comfortable in it - we've been using it a couple of days now - and today he even fell asleep in it... so it must be comfy enough. He likes the bold color and that he has a "big kids" seat. I would recommend to others.
Great Booster Seat July 28, 2010
Kim
This booster is not bulky!!! It is great for moving into multiple cars, and traveling in the airports. I am very impressed with the 5 point harness as I think it is much safer for a 5 point harness than seat belts. After all, race car drivers use the 5 point harness belts. It is easier for me to put the kids in the 5 point harness than using a seat belt. We also have a Britax Marathon which is huge, not portable, and a seat hog. I do like the Britax for safety. Comparing the two, I like the Britax fabric better and the belts don't seem to get tangled much. Britax seems to have more side impact protection.
I will note that the arm rests on the Hybrid Go are covered with cloth and harder to clean. Yes I would purchase this product again.
great seat for my 3 year old July 28, 2010
Caron Grupposo
I have a 3month old and 3 year old. My 3 year old has a Britax Marathon seat but and my large 3 month old is growing out of his seat. The Marathon is a great seat but its expensive and large for my small Honda CRV's back seat. I will give the Britax to the 3 month old when he grows out of the infant seat but my daughter loves this seat. Its a nice size, its portable if she needs to go in someone elses car it has nice arm rests and headrest and I love the straps do not need rethreading. You do need latch system. My daughter finds her new seat comfortable after the first few weeks and I can fit a 3rd seat belted child in my back seat. My husband has a mid size sedan and he enjoys the extra space also. Amazon sold seat at the best price. I have only used this in 5 point harness mode. It comes with a nice carry bag
