Graco Booster with high back fairy tale: is this seat acually safe if it does not strap to the vehicle?

I don't think there are any boosters that strap into the car. At 28 pounds though the child should still be in a car seat. The safest thing is a 5 point harness for as long as possible. I just bought this booster for my child who is about to turn 6 and just hit 50 pounds so to heavy for her car seat. I suggest another car seat that goes up to 50 pounds and has a harness the child can't open not this seat.

No, this car seat is made to bring your child into the correct position to utilize the seat belt in your car, there are no buckles of any sort integrated in this booster.

I haven't done it personally with this booster specifically, but did travel with a convertible car seat with no problem. We actually bought an affordable model specifically for travel in case the airline lose or damage it.

It is MUCH simpler to latch and unlatch than a normal harness car seat. Also, it is not absolutely necessary to use the latch system (I believe I read this in the instructions), because the latch system is just there to keep the booster in place when a child is not sitting in it with the seat belt on.

It may work. I'm using it with a booster seat but it do not have a high back

Hello BethAnn. Not sure if this will attach correctly if you dont have a separate headrest. Reason is, I clip the upper strap around and under the headrest and it attaches easily but securely like that. What makes the upper strap secure is the fact the part of the seatback near the headrest serves as a stop so the strap doesnt rise up and slide off... If your car has a good seam or indent at that spot, it may work. Otherwise, it may slip off which would make the carrier unstable and fall forward..If your pup is not big or heavy and it doesnt pull on that upper strap, it may keep it in place if you pull it tight and down toward the back of the seat more. My Doggie is just about 7 lbs. Perhaps you may retrofit this by somehow locking in the upper with the lower strap to secure it from sliding up and off ...When I have my pup in it I have to say it is a wonderful safe ride. I dont use a collar but a doggie harness and it clips right to the seat. Doggie can not jump or fall out. The only thing with using it is when someone wants to ride in the front with me, I have to remove the seat. Never tried the back seat. You might have more luck that way...and it might be a tighter fit. I think I would try it if the return policy (should it not work) is fair and inexpensive...I love mine. Good Luck!

This seat is a booster and does not have any straps to affix it to the car seat. The only restraint is the actual car restraint which should have a lap belt and shoulder strap. It is only made for larger children so that the car restraint does not fit up to their necks

The safety strap is attached to the booster seat under the cushion. It does not displace the cushion when my dog stands. He hangs out the window all the time and loves it! This really was an AWESOME purchase!

I started using this once she was over one year. I used a different Graco infant carrier from 0-1yr. The babies do sort of lie down/prop up in an infant carrier. Once transitioned to this carseat, she sits with her back fairly straight. It is not as straight as she will be once she's in a booster seat with no backing, but I wouldn't not consider this reclined like the infant carrier. She has never complained about this seat. She seems very comfortable and I feel safe with it.

It is not normal but it will not effect anything as far as safety concerns. It does have a 5 point harness system and as long as the child is buckled in properly, then it will be fine. You can contact Britax and have them send you a new one. They will need your car seat info. Such as manufacture date and serial number. They have a great customer service team and they can send you out a new one with no questions asked. They ship very fast also. Hope this helps.

As others have stated, it depends on the height and weight of your child, not their age for appropriateness. You should also be sure your child meets the laws in your state to move from a car seat to a booster seat. Some parents feel safer using the boosters that have a back; amazon sells those too. They're called "Graco Highback TurboBooster Car Seat" (amazon link: http://amzn.com/B004GEC8LU).

I Have a graco car seat and it works fine. It isn't specifically designed for any latch system, but has a safety strap to secure the seat in place.

The safety strap is attached to the body of the booster seat and comes up behind the cushion. The cushion fits snugly and won't pop out of place if your dog stands up. The whole booster fits very snugly using your car's seat belt. I think it's a great car seat for my dog.

The straps are my biggest complaint. They can get tangled because of the padding surrounding them. It does sit a little higher then our graco which works well because of my small car however it doesn't look uncomfortable for wee one. I still prefer this seat over the Graco.

The booster seat straps around both the bottom and the back of a chair. I have used it numerous times with all sizes of chairs and it is very secure. Well worth the purchase!

No, it doesn't. It can be used with the harness and as a high back booster, but the back does not come off.
