Graco Junior Booster Seat

We brought the Graco Junior Hi Back Booster chair because our daughter had just grown out of her new born car seat and needed to upgrade to my son's seat at the time. He therefore needed a big boy car seat that was more grown up but still safe for him to ride in the car in. After checking all the safety features and narrowing the selection down to about three varieties of seats (and making sure they fitted in both our cars) we settled on this one simply due to the fact that it had a retractable cup holder on either side of the seat part and we knew that our son would find this really cool.

My son who is now 3 has had a range of car seats as i seem to have a small addiction to buying them like i did his buggies. I regularly shop at asda and they very often have baby events. Last year this was no exception, and the Graco junior maxi car seat in grey and red was on sale for a fabulous £25!! This car seat i have seen ranging from £25 up to £50, and sometimes more depending on a disney branding!! For £25 i thought it was worth a go and if nothing else it would work well as a base booster when he was a little older! Graco are a company that specialise in baby products, from seats, to ... more

. . First - this is what the UK law states :- All children below 135cm or 4ft 5 ins (and younger than 12 years old) are required by law to travel in an appropriate child restraint, with a fixed penalty of £30 for parents who don't comply. History of the company:- Graco is a worldwide company that has been on the go for nearly 60 years now. It was actually called Graco Metal Products when set up in Philadelphia, USA, making machine and car parts for local manufacturers. Forward facing booster seats, suitable for children from 15 to 36kg (33-80lbs) are a common sight in cars. The idea is that ... more

I bought this seat some time ago when my eldest was two and a half. He is still using it nearly 5 now! The transition from baby seat with 5 point harness was never going to be easy. I, like most mums, worried about whip lash, children undoing the buckle, being uncomfortable while asleep, you name it, I worried. However. Graco and the helpful staff at Halfords made the transition much easier. The Graco Junior was an instant hit, mainly due to the duel cup holders-two year olds are easy to please. The adjustable head rest, side head wings, padding and belt height adjuster made me feel much ... more

There are a few reviews on here already but I am going to write about what I truly think. At first impression this seat looks really nice, has a couple of feature which include drink holders either side, seat belt runners either side so you can switch to different seats and detachable covers for washing. Nice and cheap at £39.99 from most places but I believe I got mine for £34.99. Please note that this is advertised as "Graco Junior Hi-back Booster" not a "Graco Car Seat" and there is good reason why. Quite simply it is a booster with a high back not a car seat. It has adjustable head rest ... more
