Does anyone else have one yet? I was trying to do 3 across with a HBB but didn't want a regular turbo, it's nice to have latch...

(will add more pics tomorrow with the kid, I just snapped these quick when I tried it out in the car)

I love it!!!

Nice belt guide, doesn't look like there will be any issues with it popping out or anything

You can see in this pic there's plenty of room to access the buckle

I was comparing it next to the regular Turbo at TRU tonight and I honestly think the bases are the same width. BUT the affix seems maybe a little narrower at the back of the seat and a little wider at the very very front? The cup holder is removable, but I am leaving it on for now because it doesn't look like it will be in the way.


I just wish they made it in purple like the low back!

This morning-

She was kind of twisting to the side a bit. But the belt fit is great on smaller kids just like the turbo. She's like "Mommy it has a cup holder! And I can see the buckle!" haha

Those are the same type of belt guides as the Graco surround booster thingie.

Yeah I was debating this and the purple safety surround...but ultimately decided to go with this one because I didn't want DD to have to buckle the thing back in every time.

One thing I noticed though is that the LATCH straps are really kind of short, it could be awkward to actually hook them up depending on your vehicle and car seat setup.

Lol I can't even count right now I'm too tired

At least this one was cheap! I used a 20% off coupon too. I have been selling and trading a lot I think I have 3 extra seats right now but I am selling my classic MA.

I wouldn't claim that it's beautiful but sometimes you just gotta use what works in your car

I saw that at BRU yesterday and I really like it. I really wish my van had LATCH for all locations. I want my dd's to have latchable boosters but one of them sits in the 3rd row driver's side (so they are separated).
Ds will be 4 next month and not going in a booster for at least a year or longer but I'm trying to decide what to get him out of the Safety surround turbo or the affix.

Yeah in my van she is not using latch either but it is nice to have the option i guess. I'm just lucky that it works out in the CRV! Especially since the seats are so close together and DH would not be good about remembering to check if the booster is buckled.

I don't think it's any taller than the TB.

I don't think so either, I can measure later.

I thought they were coming out with a high back version of the Connext though- that one is wider/deeper so maybe it will be taller as well?

That would be amazing. Like, super amazing, for me. J sits great in a NBB, but since we haven't done a long car trip since he's been out of a harness I haven't seen him sleep in a NBB (& I'd rather not ever). We might be doing a trip this year and I've been scared about that, and would love him to be in a HBB. Must look into this possibility more
