Does this seat work like a 3-in-1, where it can become a booster for the older child?

Yes, it does work like a 3 in 1. It's lightweight and east to move from car to car too. We did find that our 6 month old falls asleep and her head tilts forward a bit, so we rolled 2 cotton flannel blankets and placed them like head supports and it's much better now!

It only works rear-facing and forward-facing with a 5 point harness. It is not a belt positioning booster, but it can last an older child for quite a while... up to 65lbs and 54in. According to the CDC growth charts, the average 7 year old (50th percentile) is about 50lbs and 48in.

No, this car seat is for babies who are mostly outgrowing an infant car seat that fit with a stroller. It will however allow you baby to ride in the car from toddler 30 inch+/ 20lbs + through to age 7 or 8 as it will eventually become a booster seat.. so lots of years of use. My boy is 33 inches, 23 lbs and he's very happy in his seat. It's sturdy, and more wide than it is high, so I can see out the rear vision mirror ok. Anyway, hope this answers your question. You might want to ring Graco and verify with them directly about the Quick Connect system.

No booster is appropriate for any child under 40 lbs. The Bubblebum is a great option for squeezing between 2 other seats, etc, but if they don't fit in it and sit in it properly, it is not safe. I concur with all the other answers already posted...

Quite honestly I don't know how this seat will support kids up to 90 lbs. just based upon the length of straps. I share your concerns. My child is approximately 38 lbs and definitely has room for growth, but I do not think it will realistically last through the booster seat years. I hope this helps.

Yes. IN fact that is why I bought it. The child bike trailer I have was pushing the kids head forward and the Burley allows him to sit up straight. The size recommendations are confusing. My son is 13 months, and will be able to use it for at least 10 to 12 more months.

My kids swear this stool helps them. They believe it, and so they relax, and it actually does help them. So if the 3 year old is inclined to believe something will help, then it probably will in my experience.

I'm 5-3 it works for me. The seat can be adjusted to your comfort level. Hope this helps. Check the specifications before you buy it.

I don't think so. I waited until my boy was more than 3 years old before transferring him to this booster. You may want to look into front-facing seats that can be used from around a year old that has higher weight limits. It will cost a bit more but it will be worth it if you can use it for several years.

No, I don't think so. I bought mine for a 2 1/2 yr. old plus there is an adjustable seat - 3 positions- I like the tall flag for safety reasons when they ride around, too.

Hi there. I have used it for my 2yr old since he was around 25 pounds and it worked fine. The seat comes with an extra lining/padding for the seat, intended for keeping the child firmly in place which I used for like 2 weeks and never needed it again.Alternatively look at the britax marathon or whatever the newer version is called. It will not last that long buy then again whenever you need a booster, these are pretty inexpensive. Hope this helps. Best

My grandson will be 5 soon and loves it!! It sits lower than a regular seat, more like a booster seat. Should work until child is old enough or large enough to not be in safety seat

No. This stroller is better for an older infant, I had trouble getting the straps tight enough to stabilize baby very well. Now that my two are 1 and 3 years old, it works for short trips. 3 year old is about too big.

Yes. Not two older kids but an older one and little one. My 8 yr old and 1 year old sit together on it

Our 3 year old fit fine, and once the older kid got bigger we just switched the kids, and put the younger one in the jump seat and the older in the normal seat. The older child just liked the view better on top and had a little more room to move around.

It's pretty small. I think you could fit 3 across. I have an altima, and keep the seat in the center. I have no problem fitting two older kids next to it. We have more problems with elbows than the size of the booster seat.
