ChiccoKidFit ClearTex Plus 2-in-1 Belt-Positioning Booster Car Seat, Backless and High Back Booster Seat, for Children Aged 4 Years and up and 40-100 lbs. | Obsidian/Black

recently purchased the Chicco KidFit Adapt Plus 2-in-1 Booster Seat for my child, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! The safety features are top-notch, with the DuoGuard side-impact protection and SuperCinch LATCH system, which keeps the seat secure and stable in the car.My child finds it very comfortable, thanks to the Adapt+ cooling fabric and the extra padding. The fact that it grows with your child (from high-back to backless) makes it a great long-term investment. It's also lightweight and easy to install, making car transitions simple.The machine-washable covers and built-in cup holders are an added bonus for easy cleaning and convenience. Overall, I highly recommend this booster seat for its safety, comfort, and durability!

The fact this seat took me 3 minutes to 'put together' and then another 5 min to (effortlessly) install securely in my car the first time I did it (now it takes maybe 3 min) ... is a GOD SEND!!! The REAL Latch capability (vs those 'clips' with straps that simply don't work (for me)) snap in and tighten with little effort and are loosened and removed again with little effort. The seat belt guides work perfectly for my car. The cup holders (that fold into themselves which is great as the one on the door side doesn't work well in my car) are also easy to snap on and the seat back actually snaps EASILY onto the booster seat itself, and has a little clamp type thing you can left to set the seat back angle or remove it altogether (again, easily!!) ....We are not (yet) going to use this as our full time car seat for our 5+ old, but we will be using it for travel / rental cars / care-takers cars etc... so simplicity of safe installation and ease of removal is of HUGE importance for us... this seat checks all the boxes (In addition to being easy to safely install, it seems comfy, well padded, not too wide or huge, and still relatively light!)By comparison, I purchased another brand, of a similar belt positioning high back booster, and it took me 30 minutes just to attach the back to the seat! It involved me full on jumping on top of the place where the seat back and booster meet, just to make it 'snap' into place on the booster portion)... and then another 20 minutes struggling to install it in my car, using those crappy black 'latch' clips... I never felt it was secure, so I promptly removed it and unceremoniously chucked it across the front lawn in frustration... that seat will be returned.... and the 'impossible seat' was only $20 less than the KidFit standard version of this Chicco (I just went for the nicer fabric because we live in a hot climate).... so believe me... that $20 savings was not worth the time, effort, and potentially unsafe installation that the 'cheaper' seat gave... You get what you pay for, and sometimes you just gotta pony up. (I know that is super privileged of me, but given this seat will be used for your 40-100lb kiddo, it should be around for a while and worth the investment to buy something you will not hate every time you need to move it!)

Between our cars and the grandparents we have now bought 8 of these. They are super easy to install and for the kids to use (all started in these at 6). The kids are comfortable for longer distances and stay upright, resting with the head support. They don't get too hot in the sun and are easy to adjust as the kids grow.Recently, our kids were riding with the grandparents when someone tried to pull across a highway in front of them. The front impact crash totaled the car, but our kids walked away with just a few bruises from the seatbelt. We immediately ordered another two to replace the ones in the accident.We have always used the Chicco brand for our carseats, from infancy to now, and they have never disappointed us. These boosters are a really good price for a comfy and now we truly know, safe and reliable carseat when you need it the most.

I had to replace a Diono Rainer 3-in-1 seat that didn’t last the full life cycle it promised (my small 8yo outgrew the booster that was supposed to last till he was much taller and heavier due to the headpiece hitting his shoulders).In any case, I reluctantly searched for another high-back booster seat that would be as comfortable as the Diono had been. I found this one in Target along with a Graco seat and decided that this one had far better padding than the Graco seat. It was the same price at Target, but since I had credit on Amazon, I bought it here.It arrived quickly and was easy to install. My son says it’s a great seat. He likes the cupholders and can now put his own seatbelt on, whereas the poor design of Diono’s booster mode made it impossible for him to buckle himself in.The seat isn’t as rock-solid as the Diono was, but the design is much better for a booster seat for older kids. It’s also not as heavy (because it’s not made of steel), so it’s much easier to move if needed.The only initial con was that in our car (a Hyundai Santa Fe), this seat couldn’t be placed in the middle of the back seat where the Diono had been. That wasn’t a deal-breaker, though, and now that we’ve had it a while, I actually like having the seat on one side because if there’s only one other back seat passenger, they don’t have to squish themselves next to a car seat now. (My son just had to get used to the change.)

This is a nice transitional booster. The high back set up was easy and it’s nice fit for our 6 year old who just hit 52 pounds. We kept her in the 5 point harness as long as we could. The quality seems nice and had great reviews from both peers and safety ratings. The only bummer to this seat is that I drive a crew-cab Silverado and because it does not have a middle seat latch system, we unfortunately and reluctantly had to move our child to a window seat in order to use the latch to secure the booster. This is not any fault on this booster seat, it just was not something we noticed until installation. Some high-backs do not have the latch system and just sit freely on the cars seat but we wanted one that could secure to the latch system. So just a heads up to most crew cab trucks on that.Overall we are pleased with the seat and our child finds it comfortable.
