Went to Target to check out the Chicco booster and they had an online return for $49! The Recaro didn't work out for us. Too big for DD to buckle and the lap belt for hung up and wouldn't tighten. What do you think about this fit? I'm pretty happy with it. I really like that the latch actually tightens unlike the Recaro's.

The lapbelt looks good. he shoulderbelt is a bit far out on her shoulder though. Try raising the headrest.

I agree that I think the headrest needs to go up a bit. She also shifted her body a bit when I took the pic, so she looks a little off.

Is she able to buckle herself? We have the Recaro booster, and while I like it, it is impossible for my DS to buckle himself, and in my car I have a very hard time even reaching across to buckle him in.

DD could not buckle the Recaro at all on her own, but has no issues at all buckling the Chicco. We are very happy with it.

Thanks! I think we may give it a try. I'm so tired of fighting to get him buckled, and it doesn't help the Recaro moves around a bit which makes it harder to reach the buckle.

I hated that the Recaro latched, but didn't tighten-how dumb. The Chicco tightens down hard which makes climbing in and out so much easier and the buckle doesn't slip under the seat either.

We got the Chicco and I love it! My DS can buckle it himself without a problem, and he is really excited about that. It is so much easier to get in and out of and there is so much more room to access he buckles. I think I will also replace the Recaro that is in my husbands car. My only complaint is I wish it had more color choices.

I completely agree-needs more color options. It's a fabulous booster option.
