Evenflo Big Kid Booster vs. Graco Turbo Booster

Unregistered · Mar 4, 2008

So I need to buy another booster seat for my 7 year old. It's for the second vehicle.

I really don't want to spend much on it. I found the Evenflo Big Kid Booster for a great deal, but can't find any information on the safety of it.

I can also get the Graco Turbo Booster for about $10 more. We have turbo boosters in our main car.

Is the Turbo Booster better than the evenflo? Is there any safety reason to go with the graco over the evenflo? Or is it just cosmetic (pretty prints)?

Thanks.

Hi. The Turbo has more head and torso protection than the Big Kid does. I believe Evenflo has started adding EPS foam to the Big Kid, so that's a plus, but it really doesn't wrap around the child much.

I originally bought the Big Kid for my 9 year old sister, and searched sales for months afterwards to get a turbobooster instead, there's a BIG difference between the two in flimsiness, ease of use, and foam.

The turbo is better
-EPS foam (BG just has fluff)
-Better back support, check how both grow
