“This booster couldn’t be simpler to use—we regularly switch it between cars for my 7-year-old, and I love that it still uses the LATCH system to actually attach to the vehicle seat. He loves that he gets to feel like a big kid, as well as the built-in cupholder and secret storage tray.” – Jess, Motherly’s Health and Wellness Director

Reviewers say: “Our first booster purchase for our 5-year-old. Made sure she exceeds the weight/height minimums before we switched her from her Diono Radian to this car seat. Very easy to use, she loves that she can buckle herself in. Very secure and stable, a bit on the larger side, but we only have 2 kiddos, so it’s not an issue for us. Seems very safe and high quality—I am sure it will last the next 5+ years. Very light and extremely easy to move from car to car as needed.” – Kelly

Reviewers say: ” This is a wonderful booster seat. I read many reviews before settling on the “Chicco GoFit Backless Booster Car Seat,” and while I don’t always purchase a product based solely on reviews, I have to say the customers were totally right about this seat. My grandson loves it – and the 2 cup holders (1 for the sippy cup, and 1 for a Matchbox car!). It’s so simple to place in the car, the cover’s washable (already been tried!) and it’s basically just place, strap in and go. Love it!” –Nancy I.

Simpleto assemble, sturdy, practical, easy to carry around. It’s not an everyday car seat for us, but extremely practical for travel.” – Chris and Isabel
