Pros: “Gavin liked it as a backless booster, and found it comfortable that way. The cup holders are great for the kids to store snacks and toys in.”

Cons: “The kids thought the back was too hard and Gavin found it challenging to fasten the seatbelt with the back on. With the tall back on it, it didn’t fit snugly in my model of car.”
