Probooster vs Vivo-

StPaulMom · Feb 23, 2011

I think I'm going to get one of these (shhh, dont tell my husband) but I can't really settle on which one I want.
Is the depth of the seat (or lack thereof) on the Vivo an issue that people have noticed?
If you have one or both, would you get the same one again?
ETA: Sorry, I meant to post this on the car seat chat board. That's what I get for having multiple tabs open for the same forum!

I don't have any experience with the Probooster, but I bought the Vivo for my ex-boyfriend's daughter. She was 6 years old and 37 pounds when I bought it, and it fit her great. I wish I could remember her height, but I can't; she was on the short side for 6 though. We used it in a 2006 Audi, and the short seat depth didn't bother her. HTH

I have the vivo for Ruthie... she has shorter legs than torso and I would definitely get it for her again.

I probably wouldn't opt for the probooster just because it could be overkill for her... I lust for it, but it would take a lot of scrimping to manage it and she doesn't need the extra height or leg room at all. She's growing legs, but she is comfortable.... and she's almost 7 and still has a good 4" of room to go in it. when she outgrows it, I'll be fine with her going backless.

Also, one reason I love the vivo is how well it does in our third row when she wants to be there... and the probooster's big body wings and differently designed bottom would make it tip there.

Now, if I could just always have it in the 2nd row and never need it back there and I had the money easily available, she would have had a probooster when they first came out and she'd be riding in it.
