Britax Highpoint Review 2026: Best for Tall Kids?

Find out everything you need to know about the Britax Highpoint 2 Stage Belt Positioning Booster Seat, from its safety features to its comfort and convenience for parents and children alike.

Seat is Good for You If:

You have a tall child.

This high back booster has 63″ limits, which is currently the maximum standing height limit available for boosters. It also has a very tall belt guide that can accommodate a child until their torso height is around 23″.

Use Caution if:

You have a vehicle with non-removable headrests. 

If your vehicle has non-removable headrests, we do not recommend buying this seat. You can check this post for car seat options that do work with non-removable headrests.

You need to fit three car seats across in your vehicle.

This booster is not going to work in any 3-across situation due to the 23" width. Check out our blog post on fitting 3 across here to find some better options.

SITS Bottom Line

If you have a child who is tall or has a tall torso, this high back booster may be a great option for you to consider! It does have some drawbacks that should be noted, however. If you need to fit 3 kids in one row of your back seat, this is not the booster for you. Also, double-check that your vehicle headrests are removable before buying this seat to avoid any potential compatibility issues.
