I'm making a list of boosters for a friend and I'd like to give her some measurements. Could you please measure your boosters for me?

I need the top seated shoulder height, seat width, and seat depth (leg room) for the following boosters.

Graco Turbo
Graco Air (are they still making this?)
Recaro Vivo
Compass B540
Sunshine Kids Monterey
Britax Parkway SG
Graco Nautilus
Britax Frontier

and any other boosters I've forgotten.

Thank you so much!

All measurements are belt guide, interior width (at bum), exterior width (widest point), and depth.

Monterey- 20", 9.5", 16", 13"
Vivo- 20.5", 12", 17", 11"
Frontier- 21.5", 12", 19", 13"
Combi Kobuk- 20.5", 12", 17", 11"
Turbo- 19", 10.5", 16", 13" w/ back 15" without
Compass B500- 18", 12", 18.5", 12.5"

Hope that helps!

I can do my Nautilus when I get home later, but I'm not home right now. The only other on that list that I have currently is the Vivo and Claire already took care of that

Air booster has been discontinued but is still on sale at some e-tailers and stores (I've seen them at my local Target.
Measurements I get for my DD's Air Booster at top setting:

height (seat to belt guide) 19.75"
interior width (at bum) about 9.5 -10" (it's more curved than the Turbo)
exterior width at widest point: 17" (at cupholders)
exterior width at *rear* of base 11.5" at very back, 15" at widest point of lap belt guide area (this is why it can puzzle better than a Turbo - more room at the buckling area)
seat depth: about 16" without back, 15.5" with back (the seat slopes upward and then curves down at the front, so I approximated the seat depth measurement by placing a piece of cardboard on the seat and measuring where it intersected another piece of cardboard at the end of the seat, perpendicular to the floor - clear as mud?

When I measured the seat depth on my Vivo the other day (DOM 12/07) it was 12". :scratcheshead:

Hmm... I am not sure. I did these measurements at a store and wrote it all down so I cannot recheck. It very well could be 12" and I just measured wrong. If you have the seat to check with I would go by that!

This I do have to disagree with. S has about a 21" torso now and has outgrown the Monterey. So unless there is something wrong with the one I sat her in, it can not be over 20".

I get 24 inches for the Frontier. That is from the seat to the bottom of the red belt guide. It is hugely different from any other booster.

*These measurements are from past photos, I will go out tomorrow and remeasure to make sure.*
I get 14.75 (almost 15) inches between armrests.
I get 14 inches for depth (though it is kinda hard to measure, because the seat slopes down, so everyone could measure in different spots).

NEVERMIND. i AM VERY WRONG! see i only moved my DS1 from the monterey to a backless because his brother needed it (outgrew the turbo) all of 2 MONTHS AGO! i didn't check his torso height then. i checked yesterday for torso height & got 21in so i just assumed that he still fit cause he did one month ago. so i had him testt he monterey again to prove my point. LOL lo & behold this child had a gprwth spurt & NO LONGER fits. his shoulders were touching the bottom of headrests

Besides the Frontier, the Monterey is the tallest I have seen (I've never met a Vivo though). I fit in it. It is taller than the First Years boosters, taller than the new Chicco booster, taller than the turbos and the air and the big kid and the Compass boosters. I have sat in all of these and the only one I fit in was the monterey. I was unable to check the height on the new PW120 though... it was up on a table too high for me to sit in!
