All-time Favorite Booster??

carseatcurious · Nov 6, 2009

Just wondering what everyone's first pick for their ultimate forward-facing/booster combo or standard booster would be if there are no other conflicting factors (i.e puzzling other seats, car type, price)? Just based on ease of use, comfort, safety, etc.

Just getting ideas ahead of time.

We have the compass B510 and like it ok, although DD is starting to complain about her butt hurting. I'm interested to see what others have to say also.

Sunshine kid Monterey hands down. I can't stand tippy boosters and I love how this one latches.

My kids sleep just fine in it too which is a big plus because we take lots of day trips. The headrest are really nice.

Plus they are 10 and 8 (Small side) and they love using it. It doesn't look "babyish".

I like the monterey best if I don't have to sit it next to another seat.

I'm interested to see what everyone says too....I have a 6 1/2yr old 47in 46lbs who is currently in a Graco HBB but has complained a couple times lately of his butt hurting so we are thinking about possibly getting a new one just completely clueless on what is best.

Monterey. It looks comfy, it doesn't tip and I feel secure putting my child in that after having her in a harness. Other booster just seem lacking compared to it

However, it doesn't fit the littles well and it really does block most of my rear window.

TB is great for the little ones but if I was to get another it would have the foam. I haven't tried any of the others.

Monterey tied with Recaro Vivo... not all kids can fit comfortably in the Monterey... it's all about body build... so the Monterey for broad shoulders and the Vivo for skinny kids.

Ruthie won't be able to test out sleeping in the Vivo until after March, as it is in her dad's car right now, but it also is great (I did some testing of it with a bribed Jeffrey and a very willing Ruthie) for not tipping the way the Turbo did in my third row, and I like how solid it is about not coming apart.

I do wish it had the option of converting to backless simply because not all cars work with highbacks, but we have an olli and the fpsv booster that converts to backless, so it's not like I NEED it to.

favorite combo seat would be Nautilus, hands down.

I really like the monterey as well. I just wish it came in brown.

Frontier AND Monterey - I really can't pick one over the other.
