We really love ours. My 10 yo has a couple inches to grow in it, and it's so narrow I can easily put them outboard in my minivan's third row and have room for a boosterless kid to sit in the middle. They are super comfy, mainly for the beanpole kids (high limit of 80 pounds, and the butt area isn't very roomy), good SIP that the kids don't lean out of. Deep thigh support, good sleep support. Optional lock on the shoulderbelt (mandatory for kids 30-40 pounds, though), has a top tether to prevent the heavy seat from loading weight onto the kiddo (it's like 23 pounds?). The kids love the built in speakers in the headrests.
Here it is 'naked'

And here they are in my van..

Hmm...time for pictures of actual children in those seats, eh? (my ds chooses it over the backless booster in the middle of the middle row, I guess it's pretty comfy!)
Oh, the belts going through the belt guide CAN get stuck (the lockoff will flip into locked position too easily), it can be worse depending on the height of the backrest and the way it comes out of the car... so that's kind of an annoyance...right now for my DS it's not getting stuck at all, but dd's is shorter and it gets stuck more often.
