   A clever idea, and definitely a conversation piece when people see it. Functional too: my 2-year-old used it every day for a few weeks. The problem though is that the black printing started peeling off after just that short time. At a minimum this is unsightly. I'm hoping that it's not also unsafe - some kid, somewhere, is undoubtedly eating the peeled-off ink. Maybe mine for all I know. I imagine it would be considerably more expensive for them to make this in a way that would withstand use. As it currently stands though, this is a nice gag gift for someone who will never use it, but not a practical robust booster for everyday use.

   I love this booster seat and so does my niece, it was purchased for her. Not only is it functional it's a conversation piece as well. I have to say the price is very nice too. I did my due diligence and looked at a lot of other booster seats on the market both online and at physical shops, and found zilch. I finally found the "one", and then it was of course, back ordered, not to mention much pricier. Since I was using telephone books as a substitute until I found the "one" it made sense to me to choose what most resembled what my niece was already used to, with the plus of comfort & price it was all in all a very practical decision. Let's face it, the booster seats out there are not very attractive and look uncomfortable & bulky, this one looks like a book, is comfy, easy to clean and light enough for children to carry. What more could you ask for in a booster seat.

   This chair is light and easy to carry around. We traveled with it recently and the only issue we had with it wasn't product related. One issue we had was that the hotel didn't have an appropriate chair to secure it to. There are straps going both directions to put it on the chair, so there needs to be a gap to run the strap through the back of the chair. We are currently using it at home at our table and allowing our toddler to choose between sitting in it or the high chair.

   The idea of this seat is great, but the design isn't so great. I think it might work better for an older toddler, but for my average-sized 13-month old it's not so hot. Cons: Since it's a folding chair (like the kind adults use at sporting events) there's no real back or butt support. Your child's bum is sitting in a sling of fabric, and the back is also sling-style. This means that if your child was bigger the seat would fit him well, but my son was practically reclining in his seat, and kept sliding down no matter how many times we sat him upright; the seat and straps were just too large for him even at their tightest. Even if the lapbelt straps could be tightened more, the lack of support while seated would still be an issue. I regret this purchase, and hope my son will grown into the straps, but the lack of support will always be a problem. Also - you might consider this chair lightweight if you live in suburbia and can leave it in your car until needed, but if you had to carry it with you anywhere, it is NOT that light. I'm a city-dweller, and I would never carry this chair with me - it's too bulky and heavy for that. Pros: The Regalo chair attached tightly to the restaurant chair - those straps are more adjustable.

   This is a great booster seat and takes up very little storage room. If you need booster seats for several children and don't have the room for lots of high chairs, this is the way to go!!

   I was suprised at how big this was. I have a VW Jetta and it fits nicely in the centre and two average size adults can sit semi comfortably on eithwer side. My daughter seems to be very comfortable in it. I purchased a different Graco model for my car but gave that to my parents and kept this one since we travel more than they do. I would recommend this to a friend with the caveat that it may be too big depending on your car so measure first.

   It is always hard on little kids to go on long car rides. My wife and I have a rough riding pickup truck to pull the camper. We leave in the evening and hope our little one will sleep for the long ride. Often times her head would bounce, wake her up repeatedly, and it would frustrate her terribly. This car seat solved our troubles. With it's excellent reline feature, our little one can take a long nap even in our bouncy pickup truck. I am so thankful that we found this car seat. The only disadvantage to this car seat is that it is a MOOSE. It is absolutely huge. When we put it in the back seat of our compact car, it takes up a majority of the rear seat. If you have a compact car, or other children will be riding in the back, beware. Otherwise, this car seat is most excellent for the back seat of a pickup truck or a van. Pefect for long drives.

   The seat fabric is very, very, very cheap! Nothing of what I would expect from Graco or a carseat priced at $130. Besides that, it's nice.
