Need Help Choosing a Car Seat?
Seat is Good for You If:
You want a travel seat.
Your child is below the 50th percentile for height.
Use Caution if:
You want to buy only one seat ever.
This seat has a 52″ standing height limit for the booster mode. We’ve found that only around 50% of kids can pass the 5-Step Test at 57″, so far fewer would pass at 52″, likely 0% of kids. While this seat will still last for a few years, purchasing another booster will be necessary.
You need to fit 3 across.
