Love this seat!

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is a great seat all around! With lots of extra features that can be removed when not needed.
Review: After having the Cosco summit high back booster i was terribly disapointed in booster seats! But i needed to buy a new booster for my 2.5 year old because the Cosco one was so crappy! Every time she fell asleep her head would fall into her lap and...

Watch those straps

Date of Review:  Jun 17, 2004
Review: Check your shoulder straps to make sure they do not pull out when they are supposedly tight. We have two of the CarGo booster seats, both have a problem that when the shoulder straps are pulled on, they loosen, even if they were pulled tight with...

Road trip approved

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's a great seat for the money. Safe, and the straps don't twist, great padding. Not loving the blue fabric.
Review: First I should disclose that I am a kids products snob. I loved the Britax Roundabout (in cow-moo-flage!) but my girl outgrew that thing like it was going out of style. (uh..nevermind) So when her head was a good 2 inches over the top of the thing,...

Reliable and safe

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2005
Review: I have just purchased my fourth Platinum CarGo seat. I think that these are the best seats available for the money. They are also a great improvement for traveling through airports, as they are compact (without the attachments) and LIGHT! No more...

Well Padded!

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2003
Review: This car seat is slim not a big bulking one. We bought this model because of the extra padding. We do a lot of car traveling and the old one which wasn't but a few months old was kicked to the road after a 4 hour trip. Baby fussed all the way, no...

Has potential, but ultimately fails...

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: Okay for average sized children harnessed. Beware of the narrow seat and guides in the way of sleeping children. Don't recommend as a booster due to closed loop guides!
Review: This seat has so many good things going for it, but unfortunately Graco has made some major mistakes with the seat that I was unable to overlook.

The seat is light, has great cushioning in the bum area with the Graco-pedic 'memory' foam,...
