Product Information

There are a few different booster seats (also applies to any safety seat) that parents are better off avoiding. How the seat works and fits your car will be largely dependent on the seat itself. When shopping for a booster seat, keep these things in mind:

The Frontier is not cheap. Some found the seat to be a bit narrow, but that hasn't been a universal complaint. Other minor complaints involved the cupholders which aren’t removable and the fixed armrests which can make it difficult to get the child in and out at times. Compilation of customer opinions Weight limits: Booster seats are not recommended for children over 120 pounds; however, they can be used until your child is big enough to fit in a seat belt without one (generally around 80 pounds). Many parents really love it and say their child is comfy in it. It has LATCH connectors to keep it stable, especially while empty. It also reclines so your child can sleep. The head wings are nice and wide to protect well against side impacts. Note: The cupholders are removable for cleaning purposes, but should be reattached before travel since the seat has not been safety tested without them. DisadvantagesIt comes in dozens of fun characters, has a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty, and an 8-year expiration from date of manufacture. 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: Some parents complained the cup holders were too shallow for taller sippy cups and a few others felt there wasn’t enough head support for a sleeping child. A few found that the shoulder straps twisted too easily. Compilation of customer opinions Just like rear-facing seats, the answer is for as long as possible. The secure straps, side impact protection, and headrests with protective wings are always safer than a seat belt alone. So when can I put my child in a booster seat?

Like many Graco seats, this one has the popular Simply Safe Adjust Harness system, which easily lets you adjust the headrest and harness to 8 different positions with one hand. It includes 2 removable cup holders, machine washable seat pad, body insert, and harness covers. The cute characters come with a price as they make the booster seats bulky with protruding plastic heads, large armrests and cup holders. The LATCH system and seat belt connectors are not ideal with somewhat difficult straps to attach and tighten. Parents looking for an engineered seat that is mindful about fit and safety are a good match for the Monterey. It is a great looking booster seat that has a long useful life because it can grow with your child. Families also like that the seat also has market leading safety features like an interior metal frame. When your kids are old enough and big enough for the vehicle shoulder seat belt to fit them appropriately, they should always utilize lap and shoulder seat belts for optimum protection. All children younger than 13 years of age should travel in the rear seat.If you ever come to a booster seat standoff with your child, be honest. Explain to them what the consequences are for not being properly secured in the car. Children who aren’t adequately secured are 55 percent more likely to be injured in a car accident than those who use a safety seat. Explain that a booster seat will make sure the shoulder and lap belts fit them just right to keep them safe for every trip. The lap belt should fit tightly across your child’s upper thighs and be positioned low on their hips.
