UK law states that children must use a child car seat until they're 12 years old or 135cm/4ft 5in tall, whichever comes first. The belt path for this booster seat is easy to find and use, but you can find all the correct information in the instruction manual Graco provides. It has a built-in level indicator that shows whether the seat is installed at the proper angle. Comes with no-rethread harness adjustment, so you can adjust it without removing your child from the car seat. The seat cushion contains extra padding, making it more comfortable for kids who are tall or have sensitive skin. Has the ability to fold up for easy storage when you’re not using it. The Graco booster seat does not come with a harness or LATCH attachments, so you’ll need to use the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belts for installation. A booster seat can help to raise a child's body to a height suitable for using the adult seatbelt. Some have ‘horns’ that help the car’s adult seatbelt to sit across your child’s tummy. Overall I think the Graco Turbo GO is a nifty little seat! Is it as revolutionary as some travel booster seat? No. But that’s ok. It does its job, functions well and take up a little less space than booster that don’t fold. Even if your family isn’t planning much travel, the Graco Turbo GO is a solid choice to fold up and throw in the trunk for an unexpected carpool, as it’s one of the cheapest booster seats around.

Children heavier or taller than the forward-facing limit for their car safety seat should use a belt-positioning booster seat until they are big enough to fit the vehicle original seat belt properly, typically at 4 feet 9 inches in height and 8 to 12 years of age. In some cases, it can occur before or after, depending on your child’s development. Some good indicators to switch to a booster seat are whenever your children show signs that they have outgrown the currently used seat and they don’t feel comfortable anymore. Most car seats that have a 5-point harness also can remove and use the car’s seat belts with the same car seat. It is recommended to remove the 5-point harness as soon as the child has outgrown it and it’s becoming uncomfortable to wear. At this point, you should remove it and use the car’s seatbelts instead to secure the child. This is also the moment to switch from a rear-facing car seat to a forward-facing.

Always read the vehicle owner’s handbook and the car safety seat manual before using a booster seat. Booster seats frequently include a plastic clip or guide to help you properly secure the vehicle lap and shoulder belts. For further information, see the booster seat instruction manual. The Graco RightGuide is an ultra-compact low-profile booster seat intended for big kids and tweens. The RightGuide is quite a bit smaller than the Turbo GO and fits even better in a carry-on. Generally, a child that weighs 40 lbs can be forward-facing in any seat as long as it’s the right fit for them. Depending on the child’s height and age, a harnessed seat is probably the best option. There’s no denying it: the Graco Turbo GO is much bigger to tote around than the Bubblebum inflatable booster seat. It’s heavier and it takes up a lot more space. Most booster seats are attached to the vehicle seat using only a seat belt and lower anchors, without any upper ties. Once the seat belt is fastened over a child, they rest on the car seat and are held in place. However, some booster seats may be attached to the automobile seat and kept in position using the lower anchors and rope and lap and shoulder belts.There are a few different types of car seats that can be used, depending on your child’s age group. We made a list below with all available styles for every age group: Car seats for infants and toddlers: Note: it is important not to use both types of harnesses at the same time! Double harnessing could be very dangerous for your child’s safety, so you need to remove one or the other. Who says a travel booster seat has to cost an arm and a leg? Graco is one of the biggest car booster seat manufacturers on the planet and in recent years they’ve come out with some interesting folding booster seats for the masses! While the target use is probably more to build a great booster seat for carpooling, it could make a great option for globetrotting families and is a nice addition to the growing list of folding car seats.
