Our Review of the SafeGuard Go booster seat
On Sale for $134.99! Regularly priced at $199.99. Save $65 (32%)
The SafeGuard Go is an innovatively engineered combination car seat with distinct safety advantages over a belt-positioning booster. Traditional youth / toddler combination car seats are quite bulky, and function first as a harnessed forward-facing seat, then a belt-positioning booster.
The soft-backed SafeGuard Go offers the same safety benefits of those seats, but in a more compact and travel-friendly package, making it ideal for on-the-go families. This combination seat from SafeGuard provides the highest harness weight capacity of any combination car seat yet: 60 lbs. in the 5-point harness, and 100 lbs. as a backless booster seat.
Important Installation Information: As a 5-point harness booster, the SafeGuard Go requires the use of the Top Tether for installation - either in combination with vehicle seat belts, or Lower Anchors. As a belt-positioning booster, the SafeGuard Go uses your vehicle's seat belts. If you intend to use the 5-point harness with your child, please make sure that your vehicle is euqipped with a Top Tether Anchor.
The 2008 SafeGuard Go offers these Improvements:
- New integrated headrest with more substantial padding for comfort
- Harness minimum weight is now just 22lbs - allowing for longer use
- Crotch strap now has three positions (instead of just one) for better adjustability
- Stair-stepped adjustment lengthens the strap as your child grows
BENEFITS FOR MOM AND DAD
Booster car seats rely on a vehicle's seat belt restraints to protect a child in the event of an accident. The SafeGuard Go is the first "hybrid" booster car seat, combining the easy portability of a backless booster with a unique 5-point harness, LATCH installation, and a padded headrest. The result is a safe and comfortable car seat for kid up to 100 lbs. that exceeds all government crash-test safety standards and is extremely easy to install and transport.
Installation
The SafeGuard Go installs in two ways: as a backless booster seat for use with the seat belt, or as a 5-point harness seat and headrest with LATCH. In order to use the SafeGuard Go's backrest and 5-point harness, your vehicle must have a top tether anchor. The top-tether of the Go secures the soft back, headrest, and harness. [See our diagram in the 'Features' tab below for more details.]

Important Installation Information: As a 5-point harness booster, the SafeGuard Go requires the use of the Top Tether for installation - either in combination with vehicle seat belts, or Lower Anchors. As a belt-positioning booster, the SafeGuard Go uses your vehicle's seat belts. If you intend to use the 5-point harness with your child, please make sure that your vehicle is euqipped with a Top Tether Anchor.
A Note on Installing the SafeGuard Go:
*Your vehicle's manual may state a set weight limit for its LATCH anchors (40 or 48 lbs.).
*All vehicle manufacturer's anchor points must comply with the NHTSA's requirements. Those requirements are standard and apply to all vehicle manufacturers.
*SafeGuard's testing shows the Go with a 60 lb. occupant is in compliance with the amount of force exerted on the anchor point requirements as outlined by NHTSA. The increased weight of the occupant is offset by the decreased weight of the seat.
*SafeGuard urges parents to consider both their recommendations (60 lbs.) and those from the vehicle manufacturer when making your installation decision.
Convenience
The SafeGuard Go is perhaps the most convenient car seat in its class. The removable headrest / harness system folds down, allowing the entire Go booster to fit easily inside the included carrying bag. This booster is not only safe, it is ideal for travel.
BENEFITS FOR JACK OR JILL
No other harness-equipped booster seat currently on the market offers as high a weight capacity as the Safeguard Go, and the safety benefits it provides for your child are beyond compare. While certain combination boosters (also known as a "combination" car seat) do have harnesses, none can match the Safeguard Go's 60 lbs. harness weight capacity. The padded seat and armrests, improved headrest padding, and adjustable crotch strap create a comfortable ride for any child.
Comfort
The Safeguard Go's padded seat and armrests are always in place to provide your child with comfortable seating, with or without the padded headrest. The headrest has recently been enhanced with thicker padding to create a more comfortable ride, and the new adjustable crotch strap creates an even better fit for your child than before. For additional comfort, recline the seat and tighten the tether for proper tension and safety.
Safety
The Go and it's cousin the Safeguard Child Seat are two of the most thoroughly tested child car seats on the market.
- NHTSA FMVSS 213 Safety Certified
- Tested in dynamic crash scenarios that exceed government standards
- Front, rear, and side impact crash tests
Years of testing went into SafeGuard car seats before going to market
Safeguard wishes to reassure parents that the Safeguard Go was thoroughly crash tested at the Center For Advanced Product Evaluation and will keep your child safe and secure in a 5-point harness up to 60 lbs. The Safeguard meets or exceeds all standards set forth by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
COMPARISON
SafeGuard has outdone themselves with the Go and the outstanding forward facing SafeGuard Child Seat. In the process, Safeguard has outdone the entire car seat industry, establishing a new standard for child vehicle safety systems. The Go is so unique, we really can't compare it to any other models directly. Parents looking for a high-value booster seat should also check out the innovative clek olli.
