Safety 1st Go Hybrid booster seat

Keep your child secure in a 5-point harness up to 65 lbs. The Safety 1st Go Hybrid booster, formerly the SafeGuard Go, starts out as a forward-facing 5-point harness seat that accommodates children up to 65 lbs, and then converts to a backless booster that accommodates children up to 100 lbs. The Go Hybrid is easy to install and convenient for transferring among vehicles for carpooling or travel.

Standout Features:

• Forward-facing 5-point harness seat that converts to a backless booster
• Installs in less than one minute
• Unique and convenient folding design is ideal for travel
• No re-thread harness easily adjusts to fit child's height
  

Benefits for You: The soft-backed Safety 1st Go Hybrid booster offers the same safety benefits of youth and toddler combination seats, which function first as a harnessed forward-facing seat, then a belt-positioning booster. But the Go Hybrid booster is a more compact and travel-friendly package, making it ideal for on-the-go families.

This Hybrid booster combines the easy portability of a backless booster with a unique 5-point harness and LATCH installation. Transport the Go Hybrid from one vehicle to another without any hassle in less than one minute.

Installation: The Safety 1st Go Hybrid booster installs in two ways: as a backless booster seat for use with the seat belt, or as a forward-facing 5-point harnessed seat with LATCH.

*Important Note: In order to use the Safety 1st Go Hybrid in use with the 5-point harness, your vehicle must have a top tether anchor to secure the soft back, headrest and harness.

For use as a harnessed seat; for children at least 1 year old and from 22-65 lbs:

• Lap/Shoulder Belt + Top Tether
• Lap Belt + Top Tether
• Lower Anchors + Top Tether (LATCH)
  

For use as a booster; for children from 40-100 lbs:

• Lower Anchors
• No installation – simply position and secure child with Lap and Shoulder Belt
  

*Note on LATCH Weight Limits: Your vehicle may state a set weight limit for its LATCH anchors (40 or 48 lbs). However, this weight limit does not apply to the Go Hybrid when used as a backless booster because the Lower Anchors are only intended to secure the weight of the booster seat itself (approximately 9 lbs in this case). The vehicle's lap and shoulder belts secure the weight of the child; because of this, you can use LATCH with the Go Hybrid up to 100 lbs as a booster. For LATCH use with your child harnessed over 40 lbs, refer to your vehicle owner's manual.

Benefits for Baby: Keep your little one safely secured in a 5-point harness up to 65 lbs. Once your child outgrows the Safety 1st Go Hybrid harness, the seat converts to a backless booster for passengers up to 100 lbs.

The soft cushioned seat and armrests provide your child with comfortable seating for an enjoyable ride. The headrest features even thicker padding for added support, and the adjustable crotch strap creates a snug fit to accommodate growing children.

Safety:

• 5-point harness
• Meets or exceeds FMVSS 213
  

Comparison: The Go Hybrid is in a class of its own, establishing a new standard for child vehicle safety systems. Its uniqueness makes it difficult to compare to other car seat models, but if you're looking for a harnessed seat capable of converting to a booster, here are a couple of options.

The Britax Frontier is a toddler car seat suitable for kids at least 25 lbs, 2 years old and 30" tall. The Frontier exceeds the Go Hybrid's harnessed weight limitation of 65 lbs, and accommodates children up to 80 lbs. However, the Frontier is quite a bit heavier than the Go Hybrid making it bulkier and less travel-friendly.

Another option is the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 toddler car seat. Unlike the Go Hybrid and the Frontier, the Nautilus offers three modes, as opposed to two. The Nautilus accommodates children from 20-65 lbs forward facing in a 5-point harness, 30-100 lbs as a belt-positioning, high-back booster, and 40-100 lbs as a backless booster seat.
