Has anyone tried using this as a booster seat? I heard many kids are too tall to use it for a booster.

booster seats are totally affected by the seat belt placement on the lap, this is why they say things about height. You can judge how your child sits in any booster as to if they fit or not once they reach the legal and safest age but my 8 year old still uses this seat as a booster with the seat belt.

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that children can advance to a booster seat when they are at least 4 years old and 40 pounds. I think the height is 40 inches but I'm not sure. They also say that children should stay in a booster until they are 8 years old and 60 lbs. I love these seats. They're light, easy to clean and my girls say they are comfortable. Hope this helps.

We had a 12 year old (no kind of car seat), the radian in the middle, and a 10 year old in the Fisher Price Safe Voyage Booster (narrowest booster seat we could find). This fits but not much extra room for strapping in the booster. I think 3 of these seats would fit but the middle would be hard to keep it stable (the Versa has a little middle bump-they advertise it as a 3 seater for a small adult).

I don't think so. I waited until my boy was more than 3 years old before transferring him to this booster. You may want to look into front-facing seats that can be used from around a year old that has higher weight limits. It will cost a bit more but it will be worth it if you can use it for several years.

I used my with a eddie bauer booster seat. just be sure to keep the seat off the ground when you are strapping it.

The seat is quite wide (even for my 44", 44lb 6-year old son). I don't know that width affects safety at all, but you might want to find something snuggier like a Graco booster.

As long as there is ample room for this item to fit and the booster seat fits securely it should work great!

It is a larger seat, so I would personally skip it. How old, tall, and heavy is your child and how much are you wanting to spend on a seat? I could recommend something more compact.

I would say yes. The question I found was "Will my 2 year old want to stay in the highchair?" We stopped using his highchair around 2 because he wanted to sit in a big boy chair, so I switched to a booster that I got at target for around $20. Also, I think the maximum weight is 40lbs. I suggest a booster by 2 for those reasons. Happy shopping!

The seat is outgrown as a booster at the same time as the harness. That's why it doesn't make a great booster. If you harness to the max, the child's shoulders will already be almost to the headwings so they won't fit any longer to use it as a booster. The R120 will last a little longer as a booster since it doesn't have the wings, but not by much.

You could probably use it on a padded chair if it is a relatively flat padded seat, otherwise the booster seat would not sit flat. This is a longer than average booster seat, so it fits best on a long, flat seat bed.

Yes right now I'm using for my 2 years old son, it's very good, but when we are out side maybe he slept, seats back cannot go down, he has to seat and sleep, but it's helping, for three kids :)

It could support the weight of a booster seat, but beware- they scratch really easy. I've had mine for a year, and they're totally scratched up, and that's with minimal use. Your booster may really cause it to scratch. Just wanted you to know so you don't spend all this money without knowing how they wear! Good luck ;)

I think it might depend on where you live. Here in Illinois they have to be 40lbs and 40inches to use a booster seat. Maybe its less in other states?

NO! There is no way this DESK can be used as a car seat! It shouldn't even be used as a booster seat. It is a lap type desk and functions well for its intended purpose.

I wouldn't recommend to use it if your child is not 40lbs yet. You are using your regular car seat belt with this booster and it may not be safe for her to use it if she is not meeting the weight requirment. Before I switched to this one I had the Britax Frontier which has the 5-point harness and can be used with younger children. I would recommend the Frontier for your child.

I measured the straps from hook to the end of the strap is 20 inches. I am not sure if that would go around a booster seat. I have a harness for a large dog but I would assume the straps that hook to the child seat hooks under the seats would be the same length.
