 BEST CAR SEAT EVER! March 4, 2010
M. Roop (BRISTOW, VA United States)
After purchasing and returning 3 different boosters, I finally hit the jackpot. This seat is much more secure than any of the othes. It attaches to my car via the LATCH system and the back/headrest portion uses the rear tether. It allows my son to be secured in the car with a 5 point harness without all the bulk. This seat is simply a great piece of engineering and it's highly portable and EASY, EASY to install. There are no frills like cup/snack holders but when installed in back passenger side of my CR-V if I put the rear center console armrest/cupholder downit sits in the perfect spot. I really couldn't be more pleased.

I LOVE THIS!!! We live in downtown Chicago and do not own a car. We usually use public transportation but, occasionally it's easier to take a cab (e.g. when going to the airport with all the luggage). I have looked EVERYWHERE for a "portable" car seat. Sunshine kids was just too heavy and did not fold small enough and our Safety 1st Tote n' Go (a backboard with a 5 point harness) was difficult to install, our son sat on an angle even when installed properly and overall it did not seem safe. I was a bit skeptical about this product - it was a bit pricey for something we will probably only use once a month or so but, my son's safety is priceless. I read the all the reviews I could find and called Safety 1st for more information on installation. I was sold when a NYC woman wrote about installing the seat in less than 90 seconds in cabs; time is precious when you are getting in and out of cabs and horns are honking at you.
The bag is fairly large (think bowling bag) but, there is a shoulder strap on the bag that does not show in the online pictures. The 9lb does not feel like 9lb - far less weight than a Graco infant seat. I'm 5'3" and it's easier to carry than my diaper bag over my shoulder. I usually take my Maclaren Quest when we use public transportation or a cab and I am able to hang the bag/booster on my Maclaren handlebars without it getting in the way of walking.
I read the instruction booklet front to back before our first trip in a cab. WOW! It really does install quickly - try 60 seconds or less! AND it is a very tight fit even using a lap belt. The main reason it is such an easy install is because the seat back is soft and folded down when you are installing the seat - you have more visibility to what you are doing and accessibility to the seat belt. After you have a tight fit you secure the back using the top tether. I found most Chicago cabs have the top tether anchor - even the cabs that look older. Every cab is different so to be able to install in such little time is amazing. I also feel this car seat is definitely safe enough to use when we travel and rent a car.
The only thing I wish this product had is backpack straps on the bag but, it's a minor gripe. This is a must-have if you live in a large city where you take cabs. If you own a car and are just looking for an everyday car seat - this is probably not for you. The child sits very upright and will have no place to sleep - I'd purchase another 5 point harness booster or car seat if I owned a car.

What a wonderful product! Its safe and reliable, great in a pinch if you have more than one car. I wanted it mainly for travel purposes. We're taking it on vacation with us in March. We want our daughter to be safe (in any cabs that we may take because we're not renting a car) and the travel bag makes it easy and portable! Its also great to just have as a "spare" in your trunk. My mother-in-law was over the other day and wanted to take my 4 yr old out to lunch but I could not give her my truck because i needed it....so I installed the Booster seat in her car and they were off! Also, my neighbor who's a very good friend, owns one too and she helps me out some mornings by taking my daughter to school. She puts the extra booster in her back seat when she gives my daughter a ride when I am unable to. I highly recommend this product. It all comes down to safety, of course.

We purchased this product to travel with as it is light and comes with a travel bag. Unfortunately, for the child seat to work it must be attached to a hook behind the car's seat which not all cars come equipped with, especially cabs in foreign countries. If the car does not have the required hook, the seat is useless as a 5 pnt. restraint booster.
Used for 2 years with no trouble January 26, 2010
S. Cohen (Indianapolis, IN)
We have two of the original Safeguard versions of these seats. We initially used them for travel while my older son was still in his Britax Marathon, and have used it as his primary car seat from about 4 years on. We love this car seat. First, one should note that it does not look like a traditional car seat, it is primarily seat, harness, and headrest. This fundamental change means my son can remain in a 5 point harness much longer than he could have in most other seats, and he still feels like a 'big kid' in the booster-like design.
For travel, the seat is great. It packs up compactly in the included travel bag and installs in minutes once you reach your destination. Much better than lugging a full-size carseat along (even with the wheel attachments you can buy for them).
For daily use, we have very few complaints. First, my son complains that he isn't as high as he was in his Marathon. This would have been an issue for almost any car seat he transitioned to, as the Marathon is very high. Second, his head does fall forward when he sleeps in the seat, but it doesn't wake him up and falls in the inconvenience category as opposed to the unworkable category. He shows no sign of growing out of the seat, and it's very easy to adjust the harness as he grows by simply sliding the adjustment clips upward. We are very happy with the seat, and have recommended it to friends, who also love it.
