Hi everyone! I am hoping to find someone who has had some hands on experience with the Evenflo Spectrum HBB, I haven't been able to find one in stores to really get a look at it. Does the belt glide smoothly through the upper belt path/loop of the high back booster?
I am currently engaged in a daily fight with our Evenflo Procomfort Rightfit booster because the guide is an evil straight line with a peg to keep the belt in place. If even the tiniest part of the belt gets under the peg, it won't retract back like it should. I am forever fixing the blasted thing each time my kiddo gets into the car! So I am in the market for something new... well, actually 2 new seats (he is using a Nautilus in HBB mode in our minivan that needs to get passed back down as a harnessed seat for little brother).
My original thought was the Graco Turbobooster with Safety Surround (we have the Nautilus with Safety Surround and like the extra protection), but when I saw the Spectrum, I got intrigued. It has the extra side protection for a lower price, but I worry that I will have the same belt issue with it that I have with the Rightfit.
We are leaning toward a seat with more protection for our minivan used for travel and a regular Turbobooster for my car since he is only in it for the 2 miles to school each day. But to throw a wrench in things, saw that regular Turboboosters are going to be cheap on Black Friday, so I am wondering if the extra side impact protection is even worth it...
In other words, I'm more confused then ever! Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
