Horrible.
Actually, that's not fair.
The seat is incredibly sturdy and secure feeling. It's very large for a booster, with great head and torso support/protection. If I were searching for a booster for my child, I would seriously consider it. But that is because I will buckle my child in.
For someone who wants their kid to buckle himself in, forget it. It was very difficult for ME to buckle the seat WITHOUT a child in it. I imagine it would be harder with a child and impossible for a kid under 7 or 8 to do it themselves. The armrests (which will rest no arms, they are SO low and small) leave less than an inch to buckle under.
Unfortunately, they will be used incorrectly for my boss' kids. Marilyn (whom I love) went on and on about how Britax makes the best seats, etc and now he thinks they are completely secure. I told him point blank I disagree (not about Britax, about the kids being safe) because they are just too small for boosters.
But, they said that they would figure it out and if not it wasn't that big a deal to go over the armrests, right?
Sure boss man... the manufacturer just lies.
But hey, the seat itself is great, just NOT user friendly in the least.
