When my son was 2½ he presented us with an interesting dilemma. Tall for his age while still being quite skinny, he outgrew his beloved Br itax Roundabout carseat (a forward-facing seat is considered "outgrown"... more

Pros

The only convertible booster recommended by Consumer Reports.

Cons

Not as good as our Britax seats. Harness should accommodate taller children!!!

Bottomline

I wanted a seat for someone falling in that in-between stage (outgrown the regular car seat, but too young/lightweight for a conventional booster). This seat comes close...

Here I am again, the queen of car seat returns. Yes, if you want me to cut to the chase, I'll admit right out that I returned this car seat, as I have with most of the one's I've purchased. If that's all you wanted to know, then you might as well stop... more

Pros

No re-threading of harness, open belt-positioners, adjustable arm rests

Cons

Overly complicated latch system, expensive

Bottomline

I have mixed feelings about recommending this car seat. Though it has several appealing features, it also has some major detractors. Keep your expectations realistic.

About two months ago, my daughter decided that she'd try a little magician's trick. As we were traveling home from my parent's house, I glanced into the back seat to find that my daughter had unbuckled herself from her car seat and was attempting to... more

Pros

5 Point Harness, Car Seat & Booster Seat In One, Holds Up To 100lbs

Cons

5 Point Harness With 2 Piece Harness Retainer Is Tricky!

Bottomline

This seat is wonderfully versatile as it can be used as a car seat and booster.

Introduction This review is for the Cosco Summit High Back Booster with LATCH. Cosco rates this model from 22-40 pounds (and over 1 year old) with the internal harness, and 30-100 pounds as a belt positioning booster. This model is in... more

Pros

Excellent as a booster, comfortable with many features for the price. Easy to adjust.

Cons

Average as a harnessed seat. Tall kids may outgrow the harness early. Clumsy tether adjuster.

Bottomline

This model has a nice array of features and is recommended for all children except those under 40 pounds who tend to be in higher percentiles for height than weight.

EXCELLENT!!!

I took a leap of faith when I bought this car seat for my daughter. She had outgrown the Century Accel (everytime I lowered the overhead bar, it would hit her in the head), and we needed something quick. Off to Wal-Mart I went, looking for something... more

Pros

Weight requirements, "extras", Adjustable harnesses and belt guides

Cons

5-point buckle takes some getting used to, padded seat cover isn't very padded

Bottomline

I would recommend this car seat to everyone. Bottom line: buy it, save your receipt, test it for fit in your car. If it doesn't fit, return it.

I am now volunteering more and more time at a local car seat inspection station. I get excited whenever I get to install a newer model seat, or very upset when I see very old seats coming to be checked. The one seat that I was interested in seeing and... more

Pros

Nicley padded, Recline feature, easy height adjustability

Cons

Twisty straps, low harness height

Bottomline

Many great features make this seat very attractive, just make sure your seat expectations will be met when using this seat.

This year my husband and I were faced with a dilemma. We now needed to buy 4 new car seats for our family. Our 2-1/2 year old had been using a hand-me-down convertible seat that was now 5 years old and our 11 month old triplets were outgrowing their... more

Pros

Very easy to Adjust, Affordable, Good Safety Rating

Cons

Large Base, More Difficult Latch on 5-point Harness, Thin Padding

Bottomline

This a very good, affordable choice for a booster seat. The ease of adjustment and safety rating make up for any minor inconveniences it may have.

I had no intention of buying a booster for at least another couple of years since my son was only 11... more

Pros

Comfortable, arm rests, cup holder, 3-position-recline

Cons

None that would make me return the seat

Bottomline

The Cosco Summit has proven to be a very safe, comfortable and convenient car seat. I am very glad that I gave Cosco another chance.

Why I bought this seat Despite the "cons" (more below) of this seat, I purchased this seat only because it is currently the only combination seat that has the wide open seat belt loops. Safety 1st (same company) has a slight variation on... more

Pros

Wide open belt guides, soft padding, easy harness height adjustment

Cons

Clumsy tether, bulky seat

Bottomline

Buy it because it's the only one available with the wide open belt loops and the 5 pt harness. It's not a bad seat to settle for.

We have 2 small cars, a Mustang 5.0 and a Mustang Cobra convertible. It is a constant struggle to mind a SAFE seat that is small enough to fit into our cars. The Cosco Summit seat (model 22-260)was the only toddler booster Consumer Reports would... more

Pros

Safe, Fits in our mustang convertible.

Cons

straps get twisted easily.

Bottomline

Definitely a keeper! I highly recommend this seat. We are very happy with our purchase. We needed a safe seat for a small car and we found it!
