I wonder what the top slots are? Is it a dorel seat? Looks cheap to me for some reason

The top slots are 16 inches. I've seen pictures of it and it looks like it makes a decent booster.

But it looks like kids would love it. My son would.. This is a harnessed booster?

The spiderman they used to have (perhaps just a concept) was worse imo.

It's not a Dorel seat. (At least, no one ever admitted that it was.)

Here are some other threads where it has been discussed in the past:

I still think they're scary.

So. Mom/Dad buys that seat. Installs in the backseat of the vehicle.

Forgets about the seat, comes out to the vehicle on a bleary-eyed morning and spazs thinking someone's in the car.



Silly mental movie running through my head.

I read the manual online and it seems pretty straight forward and well written. Seat appears to be user-friendly and I like that you can use the latch in booster mode. But it doesn't appear to have any steel reinforcement

It gets points for finally having a cool boy cover available. It looses points for looking kind of weird.
I don't see a harness weight limit for it.

That seat is hideous. I would have though that a Dale Earnhardt Jr seat would look like a racing seat, not like a plastic person. After rereading that 2nd thread posted above, I remember the guy as well and I wouldn't trust the company as far as I could throw them if he's the guy running the company. It would have been super easy for him to come here and be honest, but instead he took the deceitful route. I wouldn't trust I'd ever get an honest answer from them.

So glad I am not the only one that is completely creeped out by that seat.

If anyone wants to go and buy one (or find one in the store), I would love for you to submit some measurements and data to the carseat measurements/data spreadsheet.

I think it's creepy too... but I also know some little boys and some parents in WI where I'm from that would buy and use this seat when the alternative may have been NO seat so I hope it's actually a decent one!

I think my kids would love to have one of those but I wont get one toop slots are too low, and I have never hard of this company.

I do know That DS1 would have given any thing to sit in spidies lap in the car and the other kids would probably like sponge bob.

Why can graco or britax do covers like that.

Emma would kill for a princess seat.
