Question Which would you pick a Nati or a Turbobooster as your booster?

mlohry · Mar 5, 2010

My 7 year old DS recently outgrew the harness on his Nati, so we had switched it to booster mode, but it got dirty so when DH was cleaning out the van the other day he took it out to clean it and put our spare Turbobooster in while it dried. Well DS really likes the Turbobooster better, he says it is more comfortable and does not want the Nati back. At 1st I was going to overrule him, because I like that we can latch the Nati in and I don't have to worry about it being loose when DS is not in it, but I have taught him to buckle the TB in when he gets out and that is not a problem now. Is there any reason that the TB would not be as good as the Nati?

As long as the booster fits right. Lap belt low, on the thighs, and shoulder belt diagonal across chest, then either way is fine.

Depends on which fits better. IMO/IME, Turbos fit little kids better and Nautis fit big kids better, but they're both fine boosters so I'd go by fit first and comfort/preference second.

Yep, it would depend on fit. the TB fits my kid, the nauti does not, it allows the lap belt higher than i like. But, i teh nauti fit, I'd use it.

A would prefer his GN over his Turbo because of the cup holder and cubbies.

I like that I can latch/top tether the GN in booster mode. That said, he is in a turbo because I need to sell off his GN to make way for baby and to fund new seats.
