Features and benefits of Graco boosters
Safety is one of the main points that bother any motorist. First of all, we care about the protection of children as the most vulnerable participants in the movement. A significant role in this protection is played by boosters, but one should carefully choose such devices.
Special features
The Graco booster is more compact than car seats and does not have a backrest. Such properties allow to simplify transportation, installation and disassembly of the device. The boosters raise children who have sat down in a chair, and therefore their head is approximately at the level of the head of an adult. The design is designed for use on average between the ages of 3 and 12 years. It is more appropriate to focus on the weight of the child, the permissible figure is 15-36 kg.
Using boosters helps to fix even babies with straps in the same way as adults. There is no confusion with the places where the belt itself is pulled, they are made of a special reddish plastic. The manufacturer claims that the Graco booster is equipped with adjustable armrests. But there are only two positions, and the difference in height is 30 mm. The adjustment is made by pressing the semicircular buttons, releasing which fix the booster in a new position.
It is worth noting that the case hides two retractable cup holders, designed for containers up to 0.3 liters. Attempting to put there a bottle with a capacity of 0.5 l will not be crowned with success. But the fact that the coasters are independent of each other, can only be welcomed.
Positive features of Graco boosters: low cost, small size and lightness. But at the same time, some of the children note that the rigidity of the seat is excessive.

Information from the manufacturer
Graco warns that not always standard belts ensure that boosters are kept in a critical situation. Some of them must be supplemented for the greatest security with special locks. It is not allowed to use the device on seats with frontal airbags, in this case the manufacturer disclaims all obligations. If all of these requirements are met, boosters with or without back can be used for a long time.
Do not exit the product beyond the dimensions of the car seat. You can not use the Latch branded child restraint system when using boosters, you should use only a standard seat belt that should not be placed on top of the armrests. When installing the chair between him and the seat, the slightest gaps are not allowed. The height adjustment of the head restraint according to individual sensations is made when the child is tilted forward.
Children should not be allowed to slide off the booster, only normal lifting is allowed.
