Evenflo booster? Not big kid

fyrfightermomma · Dec 17, 2009

I was at Big Lots today and surfed their car seat section. I saw an Evenflo booster I'd never seen before. It wasn't a big kid. It was much wider, had better SIP, and had very square belt guides that were red as opposed to the rounder normal belt guides. It actually looked quite decent and when I picked it up it was sturdier than the Big Kid. There was no name, just said "Evenflo car seat" on the sign and no box.

Any clue? I googled and came up with nothing. Even on Evenflo's website

Was it the Confidence? It came in blue as well.

Ahhhh well I suck at internet searching LOL. You found it fast! I just kept coming up with the plain big kid. It looks so ugly online. It actually looked really nice in person. It was a nice brown/black combo.

Is it any good? I need a spare booster for my car for my best friends kiddo who I end up picking up quite a bit from school. Her mom has the plain big kid and the thing is falling apart and I hate using it.

It was so pretty looking, wasn't it? It's a PITA to raise the back, and I don't like how the lap belt fits on a lot of kids, though.

I have a Confidence and I LOVE it. The back raises in two places (I don't find it hard at all, I just push the little lever to the side and lift up on the headrest) and the seat adjusts front to back for more leg support. Being armrest-less, it is great for 3 across, and I find it fits very well on most kids. You do have to pay attention to the lapbelt routing and make sure to put the belt flat (no vertically!) through the lapbelt notches or the fit may not be so great.

The booklights suck, and it is not particularly tall (a bit taller than a TB).
