Safety 1st Boost & Go (Meets New Standards)

Seat is Good for You If:

A younger child needs the convertible car seat you have, but the child who was using it still needs a forward-facing harness.

If you have a child who is currently forward-facing in a convertible seat and have a younger child who needs a convertible seat, it usually makes the most sense to pass down the convertible car seat to the younger child and purchase the older child a forward-facing-only seat. This seat can be good for that situation since it still has a harness mode.

Your child is no longer rear-facing, and you want a seat that will last them until they fit into the adult seat belt.

Maybe the rear-facing convertible seat you have been using is expired, has been in a crash, or you just hate it, and you want to buy a new seat to use forward-facing. If you fall into one of those categories, this may be the seat for you! It doesn’t make sense to buy another convertible seat that has a rear-facing mode because you won’t be using that anymore. This seat will start as a forward-facing harness and then later turn into a high back and then a backless booster.

Your child is below the 50th percentile for height.

The highest harness height is only 16.5″ tall, while many other seats in this category have harness heights that are above 18″. The harness height is critical because when forward-facing, the straps have to be even with or just above the shoulder. Long-torsoed kids will outgrow this seat fast, but if you have a child who is below the 50th percentile in height, this will likely be adequate to get them to a safe booster age. The highest belt guide position (that will be used in high back booster mode to route the vehicle’s shoulder belt through) on this seat is only 18.5″, so it will last about 2 years longer than the harness mode.

You travel often, and your child is already forward-facing.

If you are a parent who primarily uses rideshare services and/or taxis to get around but you don’t have the budget for a Wayb Pico, this may be the seat for you! It weighs 12.1 pounds, so it’s lighter than many other seats out on the market today. You can attach it to a travel cart like this one in order to easily transport it around the city while you go about your day.

Use Caution if:

You need to fit 3 people in one row of the vehicle.

Since this seat is only 17.75″ wide, it may work as one of the seats in a 3-across configuration in some vehicles. We have some other narrower options here. 

You have a larger percentile child.

The highest harness height is only 16.5″ tall, so if you have a child with a long torso, this is probably not the best seat for you. This is because you need the harness to be coming from at or below their shoulders. Many other seats in this category have harness heights that are above 18″. The highest belt guide position on this seat is only 18.5″, so it’s not long-lasting in the high back booster mode, either.

Quirks to be Aware of:

The harness is not stored on the seat for high-back booster mode.

Make sure to put all of the parts into a large bag and label it so that you can reassemble it in the future!

You cannot use the lower anchors in booster mode.

For the booster modes, you will need to teach the child to buckle in the seat when they are being dropped off to school or activities so that the booster will not be a projectile in a crash.
