Sorry the quick list format, but I've brushed this off long enough & have so many other things to do, but wanted to simply post the info 
- Weight:
- harness = for children 22-40 pounds
- highback/backless booster = for children 40-100 pounds (no overlap for children who fluctuate just below & barely above the 40# mark)
- Height: for children 34-57 inches
- Crotch depths = 4.25", 5.5", 6.75"
- Harness slots = 11", 12.75", 15"
- Highest highback booster position:
- top of headrest = 27"
- shoulder belt guide = 19"
- Widths:
- widest point = 20.5"
- (interior shoulder room = 10.5")
- Buckle, chest-clip & harness: typical Dorel Juvenile chest clip, 2 piece crotch buckle (not the puzzle type buckle)
- Installation: installed well in all backseat positions of 2005 Ford Freestar, 2005 Toyota Prius, 2005 Toyota Highlander
- LATCH: lower anchors have only 1 adjustable side
- Shoulder Belt Guides: open space, which might be more user-friendly compared to slot-like guides that require more attention to fit the shoulder belt in place
- Head support: deep "wings" lined with EPS foam for side impact protection
- Padding: thick padding on seat, back & head; padding from seat bottom & seatback tend to bunch up against eachother possibly causing discomfort of lower back for some kids
- Owner’s Manual: easy to follow & organized well, but picture of no-back booster does not model a vehicle headrest (!)
- Note: This seat does NOT require vehicle headrest when highback portion is in use (vehicle headrest is required when used as backless booster)
- highback portion is outgrown when the top of the child's head is even with the carseat headrest (as stated on pages 19, 26, 37 & 53 of manual)
- Size, Weight and Portability: hefty for a combination seat, very wide base; seat & back do not separate easily (like the Turbo)
- Price: a bit high-priced for a seat with only 40# harness weight limit & imbalanced seating proportion (width of base suggests good fit for heavy child, poor fit for lightweight child, yet the narrow shoulder width most likely leads to many young children wanting to use backless)
- Fabric Care: top half of highback portion (highback is 2 pieces, seat is another piece altogether) must be removed in order to remove the cover -- this is a bit tricky, frustrating
- Other: 2 built-in snack/cup holders & flipable armrests
- Conclusion: IMO, this is a good spare seat for young children who must have comfort, but not so good for those who may feel confined. This seat is not good for 3 across configurations.
