GRACO TURBO BOOSTER SEAT: DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW THIS WORKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK SEAT WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER HARNESS?
27852
Modern booster seats *cannot* be used without a shoulder belt. It increases the range of motion of the child's body in an accident as well as the risk of ejection and 'seat belt syndrome'. The seat should either be installed in a vehicle position with a shoulder belt, the vehicle should be retrofitted with a center shoulder belt by the dealership, or an extended harnessing seat (such as the Britax Regent or Sunshine Kids Radian 80) should be used.

You would just need the booster seat, not this one. Too make this the booster you just take out all the straps.

This hooks onto the collar where leash would be connected (see left on picture) and then into the seat belt connection (see right end in picture). It does not connect to the vehicle seat belt. Not certain what is meant by back seat shoulder harness belt.

The car seat is a booster. It sits on the backseat of the car and is fastened in place by the combination lap and shoulder belt of the car.

I bought it to use with my Cosco Comfy Carry Elite. It does not lock into place, like it does on the base in the car. I have to use the straps. Somewhere in the product detail information I saw a list of the different seats and how they work with it. Mine specifically said it does not latch. Check the info for yours and see what it says. If it doesn't say, you can assume it needs the straps.One thing you might want to know is that the dual front wheels swivel freely and make it hard to steer. Also, anything you put in the basket underneath you cannot get to without lifting the car seat off. It still is useful to me, I just have to live with the limitations.

Shoulder harness or lap belt doesn't matter as you won't use the strap part of the seat belt. You just need a buckle, and yes, it will work in the backseat. I recommend getting a harness as well that would go around the dog's chest/shoulders. Otherwise, you have to attach this listed belt to the collar, which would certainly snap the dog's neck in an accident.

The seatbelt works just normal, this pops into the car - you don't fasten it to anything and you put the seatbelt on as if it wasn't there. It's a booster seat... kind of like putting an old fashioned phone book under your butt. Its what most kids use that are older. Hope this helps.

I do find it more difficult than our other Britax. I always have to readjust the shoulder straps and make sure the chest piece is in correct position for it to tighten correctly. Pulling straight out is the only way it will work though. Good luck!

We have a rather long dog and a compact car -- but using just the parts that came with the harness, he has no problem lying down and even sticking his muzzle up right next to the driver's shoulder. Any more freedom would reduce the safety aspect of the harness, IMO.

Mine is used for a child booster seat located in the rear seat. Evidently, my car doesn't give a seatbelt warning from the rear seatbelts.

Yes, it is a 3-point harness so goes on either side of the hips and between the legs. --no over-the-shoulder straps like some others do, but it still keeps them in place as long as baby is strong enough to sit up on their own.

There are two straps. There is a headrest strap and a strap that has to go BEHIND the seat, so unless you can get behind the seat to clip the strap, it isn't going to work.

There is a latch at the top of the seat that you pinch and pull up. Super easy and so much nicer than on my graco where you have to rethread it. Go on the Britax website and you can watch the video! So easy to install and adjust. We bought two for my 10 month old twins. They took a couple minutes to install. Awesome!

I have not used it in booster mode yet, but basically you remove the straps. You can use the latch in the booster mode to keep the seat in position. In both modes this seat offers a lot of side impact protection which I really like. I'm sorry I can't offer any additional information in regards to the booster mode yet. Having other Recaro boosters in the past, I suspect that I am going to love it in that mode as well.

Miss Emma is a 5 month old mini dachshund who has figtured out to escape her crate on the back seat of my Tahoe. I was wondering how you would attach the booster seat so it is safe. Emma is pretty clever.. Is this seat safe? There are so many booster seats on the market..

My baby was born at 10lb 8oz, quite a bit bigger than a typical newborn, and was a homebirth - we didn't take him anywhere for 2 weeks. When I put him in his seat for the first time, I was *really* uncomfortable with how far apart the shoulder straps are. They slip off his shoulders unless I have the chest clip higher than typically suggested - basically as far up as I can go. This is despite the infant insert padding. I've never been a fan of needing a separate car seat for a newborn, but honestly I'm not sure this seat is the best choice because of the width between the shoulder straps.

The booster seat straps around both the bottom and the back of a chair. I have used it numerous times with all sizes of chairs and it is very secure. Well worth the purchase!
