I am currently in the market for a booster seat. I would prefer one that has a harness and could also be used later with the car seat belt. Does anyone have any good suggestions or advise.

Anyone have any of the following carseat and have pros or cons on them?
Graco CarGO Booster
Evenflo Generation
Graco Nautilus
Cosco high back - this one someone told me rates fairly high on consumer reports but I haven't had the chance to look at consumer reports on ant of these.

well all but the Nautilus on your list only harness to 40 lbs. The Nautilus goes to 65 lbs. How old/age/weight is the child?

I have a Nautilus and my son loves it. I don't like the way his head slumps when he sleeps, but that is the only thing I really do not like about it.

Graco Nautilus, hands down.

Unless your kiddo is under 35 pounds- If they are under 35 pounds, I highly recommend searching this site and typing "extended rearfacing" in Google and checking out some research if you haven't already. You may be surprised how much safer it is. (500%!) :thumbsup:

Don't worry that you haven't checked Consumer Reports - car seats are NOT one of the products that they are good at evaluating:thumbsdown:. The folks here have a lot more relevant and practical information on things like how to get a good installation, find a seat that'll be a good fit for your child/car/budget and give you the most usage for your $. The Cosco high back boosters are notorious for having low top harness slots that are outgrown by height before the child is anywhere near ready to use the seat as a booster.... and it isn't a very good booster either because it doesn't position the belt very well on most kids.

The Nautilus gets high marks here for having a high harness height and weight limit that will last most kids until they're old enough/mature enough to use the seat as a booster, and it actually makes a pretty good booster similar to their TurboBooster.

Check the "Reviews" section of the forums if there are specific seats you're interested in - lots of good info there:)
