Gen 65 for booster mode

veggiegirl228 · Nov 13, 2010

So on another board, there is a member who is under the impression the Gen 65 will make a good booster and thinks that the booster part goes as high as the GN. I do remember it's not the best as far as booster usage goes. Can someone help me to explain it better to them?

Here is a good link discussing the Generations seat being used as a booster:

The 65 lb vs 40 lb seats are the same correct as far as booster mode?

I tried Marcus in it as a booster awhile back & the fit was absolutly horrible. I would never use it as a booster. Here is a picture of Marcus in it in booster mode.

Now the Maestro on the other hand fit him beautifully. So if they have yet to purchase a seat, then I would steer them towards the Maestro.

How high does it go up for booster mode say compared to the GN?

From this thread: http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=98617
it appears that the generations 40 and generations 65 are the same measurements.

The measurements spreadsheet shows 18" for the top booster height for the Generations 65 and 20-21" for the nautilus.

so a good 2"+ below the GN. I'll link the carseat blog and there is already a link on the thread about the article from Sept. Mentioned that they'll need a dedicated booster later. Thanks everyone for the great input!
