Graco Booster Basic R44 Backless Booster Car Seat, Lightweight at only 1.96kg, Suitable from approx. 6 to 12 years (22-36kg), Opal Sky fashion

Five-point harness: Easily adjustable with one hand, a five-point harness keeps your child restrained and, in the event of a collision, transfers the force of the crash to the rigid points of the body and into the seat, protecting soft parts of the body. In fact, the official name is the the “ Graco RightGuide Portable Seat Belt Trainer” to help parents recognize that it’s meant to bridge the last gap into the adult seatbelt. Fortunately there are plenty of other portable booster seats that are well-suited to 5 and 6 year olds who are big enough and mature enough to use them. One important thing to keep in mind with regard to seatbelt fit: the Graco Right Guide booster seat is extremely low profile. If your child usually rides in a traditional booster seat without the shoulder belt guide, he may still need to use it with the RightGuide so that the seatbelt doesn’t hover over his shoulder. Make sure he knows that if he’s taking the RightGuide for carpool. Kids who are old enough to use the RightGuide are also old enough to learn what makes for a safe seatbelt fit! Ease of useSteel reinforced frame: Steel reinforcement is equipped throughout the car seat for improved resilience and durability. 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. If your kids are growing up, it's time for a child car seat! Read our guide to find out what to look for when you're shopping around.

I alluded above to older kids being the target audience. While the minimum weight for the Graco Turbo GO is 40 pounds, the minimum height is 43″. On average kids will hit that height between 5 and 6 years old, though my older one didn’t make it until 7 years old and my 5.5 year old is nowhere close. I have a confession. I’ve become a booster seat hoarder. With two kids now able to ride safely in booster seats, I’m constantly trying out different options for different situations – road trip booster seats, carpool booster seats, travel booster seats and more. Today I’m excited to share my Graco RightGuide review, and by the time we’re done you’ll have a sense for whether or not it might be the right next step for your family! What is the Graco RightGuide booster seat? The Graco RightGuide does an excellent job with seat belt placement. The belt guides are well-positioned to keep the lap belt low on the hips. Above you can see my ultra-cool 9 year old, who is around 65lbs and 50″.

While the Turbo GO starts at 40lbs and 43″, the RightGuide can’t be used until kids are at least 50lbs – the size of an average 7 year old. That said, the lap belt fit of the RightGuide is better for skinny kids than the Turbo GO in my opinion. The Graco RightGuide is a product that I want to love and recommend without reservations. For the right circumstances, I think it has a huge amount of potential to be the best booster seat for big kids (ideally 60+lbs) in some vehicles. div>
