Graco TurboBooster 2.0 Highback Booster Car Seat, Declan

Safe and comfortable, would recommend!
Having been in an accident before (where the infant car seat saved our son’s life), safety was paramount so lots of research went into this and even after making my choice, I was still a bit nervous but after several months of use, DS and I are both happy with this seat! We transitioned from the Graco Extend2Fit so this was quite the leap but we decided that our son (48 inches, 50 lbs) was ready for a harness free, high back booster. What I wanted was a quality seat with latch system (✔️) and what he wanted was a “red and black booster” (✔️) so in the end, we both got what we wanted! The cup holder (located underneath the seat) was easy to find and install. Once in, it’s not going anywhere! The snack tray is nice if needed and slides in easily if not. The seat itself is pretty sturdy without adding a lot of bulk or weight. It is much easier to carry around than our previous seat! The basic latch system (same as previous) makes it slightly harder to switch between vehicles than other boosters but is worth it in my opinion! I like to know that it’s anchored in with or without our son sitting in it (others just flop around in the car and I’d worry about what might happen if we were ever hit again). I also like that the seat belt stays threaded through the shoulder guide when not in use which was an issue with others we looked at. The seat belt lays across his lap perfectly and the back can keep growing with him as he gets taller until I feel comfortable going backless or he’s ready to go without a booster. I was a little worried about the integrity of the back when first installed as the higher it slides up, the less sturdy it felt… However, once he was properly seated, I felt better and we’ve not had any issues since it was installed.Again, safety comes first in my book but for the price, I’d say we got a pretty great seat overall and our son asked that I “give it 5 stars please” for comfort and color. If you’re ready to transition to a harness free booster, I feel good about recommending this seat! We’ve stuck with Graco since our son was born and have never regretted that decision!

Great Booster
Great transition from a car-seat. Big and sturdy but still light. They are comfortable for the kids and seem safe and secure. They look great too.

Great value for the money
Great booster seat with a great pice! Needed a new seat for my grandson. I don’t always have him but I keep a car seat for him in my car. He outgrew his because he is so tall for his age. He fits perfectly in it and it doesn’t take up too much space. He says he likes it and it’s comfortable but I wish it had a little more padding in the seat, but I think that of all children’s car seats. I’m sure I’ll use it until he grows out of it and by then my youngest granddaughter should be able to use it.

Finally a car seat that doesn’t require a CrossFit warm-up to install
I was in the market for a new car seat because my daughter was outgrowing her old one—and frankly, I was tired of feeling like I needed a gym membership just to lug it around. I always thought high-back boosters started at 4 years/40 lbs., so imagine my delight when I found this one starting at 3 years/30 lbs. Cue angelic choir.Like any responsible parent, I did my research (translation: read enough reviews to qualify for an honorary PhD in Car Seatology). The main complaints seemed to be about the latch system and the “wiggle test.” Apparently, without the seatbelt attached, some reviewers reported a five-inch shimmy. That’s not a car seat, that’s a dance floor. Still, I took the risk—mostly because I was done arm-wrestling the behemoth we had before.The seat arrived quickly, in its original box, no frills. Setup was surprisingly easy—so easy, I didn’t even have to channel my inner IKEA warrior. It fit perfectly in my mid-size sedan, the fabric was soft, and my daughter gave it the coveted kid seal of approval by declaring it comfy before I even finished installing it. Big win.The side-impact safety features felt solid without turning her into a burrito. But the highlight? The cup holder and the “secret drawer.” She thought she had discovered hidden treasure. I didn’t have the heart to tell her the manufacturer planned it that way—so as far as she’s concerned, she’s basically Indiana Jones.Now, let’s talk latches. Contrary to the scary reviews, this seat actually has two latches, plus a slick push-button release and a pull strap that snugged everything up like magic. I gave it a firm wiggle test and—no salsa dancing. The seatbelt design does have one quirk: my daughter is thrilled she gets to use a “real” seatbelt like Mommy and Daddy, but the armrest design means she still needs help buckling herself. Minor inconvenience, but worth noting.One funny (okay, slightly scary) moment: before installing, I let her sit in it on the floor. She leaned back and—whoosh—the whole back reclined flat like she was auditioning for a La-Z-Boy commercial. Not a design flaw, just user error, but let’s say my reflexes got a surprise workout. Lesson learned: chairs need cars behind them.Overall: easy to install, looks stylish (as stylish as car seats get), and most importantly, my daughter feels like she “leveled up” to a big-kid seat. For me, that’s worth every penny and every laugh along the way.

Easy to install, very secure, and also my daughter finds it alot more comfortable than the old one that served her till 5 years of age.

My bien producto, se instala y desinstala facilmente, muy estable una vez puesto en su lugar y da muy buena seguridad al infante, recomendado ya que tambien es bastante comodo y el hecho que traiga respaldo le da una sensacion mayor al infante de que esta en su propio asiento como si fuera grande, muy bueno y recomendada este booster/sillita
