Our Review of the Sunshine Kids Monterey booster seat

The Sunshine Kids Monterey Booster accommodates the highest weight and height limit of any booster seat we carry – 30 - 120lbs and 38" –  63". Made by Sunshine Kids, the same guys who brought you the excellent Radian 80 and Radian 65 convertible car seats, the Monterey Booster incorporates safety and comfort like few other boosters thanks to innovative adjustable Side Impact Protection (SIP) wings.

Benefits for Mom & Dad
Playing chauffeur has never been easier. The Monterey is a rare booster with latch anchors, meaning no sliding around the car when not in use. Need flexibility on carpool days? The Monterey goes backless. Growth spurts coming faster than you ever dreamed? Adjust the headrest with only one hand to accommodate junior. Durable hand washable microsuede and mesh fabrics mean the Monterey will long outlast your tyke's car seat days.

Installation
Use the Monterey as any other booster, without installation, or use the integrated LATCH/ISOFAST** connectors with front adjuster. The front adjuster allows you to more quickly and easily install the booster with LATCH – simply attach the Lower Anchor Tethers to your vehicle's Lower Anchor Attachment points and give a quick tug on the front adjuster to tighten. The LATCH/ISOFAST connectors also ensure that the booster does not move around the car when you drive sans Joe Junior. A reclining back accommodates all vehicle seat angles.

 **A Note on LATCH Weight Limits: Your vehicle may state a set weight limit for its LATCH anchors (40 or 48 lbs).  This weight limit does not apply to booster seats with LATCH as the Lower Anchors on a booster seat are only intended to secure the weight of the booster seat itself (approximately 16 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 Monterey up to 120 lbs.

Convenience
The Monterey is super convenient. An easy one-hand adjustable headrest allows quick adjustments for overnight growth spurts, while durable fabrics wash without damage. The Monterey protects no matter the configuration, though sacrifices SIP when backless.

Benefits for Jack or Jill
EPE and EPS foam encircle children in softness and safety while full side impact protection wings adjust to fit and protect every child. Cupholders keep drinks close while you focus on driving.

Comfort
Like a good recliner, the Sunshine Kids Monterey Booster surrounds kids in cushiony comfort. The EPE foam lined seat features more length to properly cushion legs and hips. Supporting side wings lined with EPS foam support and protect the head and torso without constricting. Kids never feel squished due to the adjustable wings. Soft, breathable microsuede and mesh fabrics keep children comfortable.

Safety

  • FMVSS 213
  • EPE and EPS Foams help absorb the force of an impact
  • Side Impact Protection
  • Passed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) proposed SIP crash-test standards

Comparison
Consider the Britax Monarch for similar Side Impact Protection; however, the Monarch does not feature LATCH installation. At a higher price point, and with more features to match, the Jane Indy Plus Booster offers LATCH installation and adjustability over and above the Monterey.

LOVE IT!

Reviewer: Anonymous , LIttle Egg Harbor, NJ Date: May 01, 2008
bought the monterey (red) for my eldest son (almost 9yo) who has outgrown the turbo booster back. my son has signifigantly more room in the monterey til he reaches the belt guides. & even when he does outgrow the monterey i have a couple children it can be passed down to. LOVE the deep wings for the extra protection & LOVE deep headwings for sleep support as well as side impact protection. my son preferred these headwings over the parkway (the parkway is more angled in close to his neck). the seat is nice & deep to support long legs too. we have no LATCH in our current vehicle so no comment there this seat is PERFECT for the tall children that NEED the high back support still. it s a GREAT buy!

I just recieved 3 of the pink/gray for my 5 year old triplet daughters and I love this seat. The shoulder belt sits perfectly across the shoulder. The head wings are perfect for naping & safety. I love the reclining feature! These seats will make our long rides so much more pleasant. Great customer service from Elitecarseats.com! I will recommend this seat and site to everyone!

Great Booster, similar to Britax Parkway.

Reviewer: Anonymous , Papillion, Nebraska Date: April 23, 2008
I received my Monterey yesterday, surprisingly it was in stock at Elitecarseats. We are using it to replace a Radian65 for our 63.5 pound 6 year old boy. He really likes the seat, and it was a breeze to install in our 2000 Honda Odyssey. (LATCH was a non issue, since the Odyssey didn't have it until 2001). My only quibble is that he tends to sit too far forward to see out the side windows, similar to what he does in his Parkway in my husband's car. I don't know how good the side impact wiil be if the wings obscure his view so much that he won't sit back. Other than that, it seems to be a great seat that will last at least until he is 8 years old, the legal age for moving out of a booster in Nebraska. And unlike the Parkway, the back comes off. Perhaps we can convince him to stay in it past 8 that way.

FANTASTIC BOOSTER!!!

Reviewer: Jana Smith , Colorado Springs, CO Date: April 22, 2008
We got and installed our new Sunshine Kids Monterey booster seat. It was very easy to install, and is secured snugly in the car with the ISOFAST connectors. My daughter absolutely loves the seat. She feels like such a big girl now using the seat belt. Since the seat is secured with a LATCH system we did not encounter the same issues we had with other boosters, which was that they tipped over. The seat is very soft with lots of cushion. Can't say enough good about it.
