Our Review of the Graco Turbo Booster Safe Seat Step 3 booster seat
 |
The Graco TurboBooster Safe Seat (Step 3) is a sporty and detailed booster seat. The headrest is made of EPS foam for support and side-impact protection, which is now the standard for booster seats. The head support is height adjustable, and the seat can be converted into a backless booster for older kids. The adjustable armrests are a nice touch that add comfort and support for your growing child. We were a little surprised by how thin the padding was on the "Lazy Daisy" version of this seat (the Fairfax TurboBooster has padded armrests and additional GracoPedic memory foam in the seat).
Otherwise, the TurboBooster is a pretty standard booster seat - either model will work well for short trips, but we would definitely recommend the Fairfax for long commutes or roadtrips. It's an affordable option for children who have outgrown their convertible car seats, but are not yet large enough to safely use just the car seat belts.

Check Your Vehicle Before Purchasing This Booster Seat
Comments from The Staff:
Hello there,
Thank you very much for your review. I understand your concern and it is true that when using a booster, your child's safety is solely dependant on the seat belt. However, I wanted to make sure anyone reading your review understands that there is nothing wrong with your seat belt and that it is a safe option.
Your vehicle seat belt uses what's referred to as an 'ELR' or 'Emergency Locking Retractor'. This type of retractor only locks in the event of sudden deceleration that occurs in a collision. Some of these seat belts also have a feature where you can lock the belt - simply pull all of the slack out in the shoulder belt part and feed it back through the retractor - whenever you stop feeding, the belt should stay locked. Check your vehicle manual to find out if your car has this feature or just check on your own as this may be a good compromise. It should however be safe to use without doing this as well.
Again, thank you for your review. Please let us know if there is anything else we may be able to help with.
Thank you,
