So I picked up the turbobooster last night and assembled (including the screws!). Question - once I snapped the back into the upright position, it is supposed to wiggle a bit? I thought it would be a firm fit, but it moves around somewhat.

Yes, it will wiggle a bit, because it kind of reclines to fit the different angles of different vehicles' seat backs. Also, if you carry it by just the back, it can fall off (though it doesn't usually happen to ME others have had persistant issues with that.)

Thanks, now I understand why you all recommend carrying onboard instead of gate checking! It seems so flimsy compared to a harnessed seat!

Some vehicles prohibit it. After some recent discussion on the subject including input from researchers and vehicle engineers, I would not, unless the child is moving out of position (intentionally or while asleep) and needs that extra reminder to stay upright.
