Britax Grow With You Harness 2 Booster

The seat constantly squeaks because the foam is rubbing against the plastic. It's a very high pitched noise that is incessant. I tried to place something in between the headrest and the foam to reduce the friction, but it didn't work. I've read other recommendations to lower the headrest, but what's the point if the seat won't "Grow With You". Based on the size of my kid, lower the headrest is not an option.

I bought this for my granddaughter when she outgrew her Nuna’s and my daughter couldn’t be happier with it!

I was looking to replace my 41/2 year old granddaughter’s car seat with a booster with a smaller footprint that would provide for her safety & comfort. One that would give her more leg room & be easier to get into/out of. Thai is not that car seat. It is big, bulky & heavy. Perhaps it would be good for a smaller toddler.

Thought this would last us till child’s 8th year when legal to let the booster go. But at 7yo she’s getting uncomfortable with the backrest. Wish we’d bought one where you can remove that part of the seat.

The headrest uses a different phone than the side bolsters and just from the normal movement of the car driving down the highway squeaks constantly and is extremely annoying. I would not recommend this seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were given the Britax Grow With You Harness-to-Booster Car Seat to try out from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My daughter and I were pretty excited to upgrade her to a big girl car seat like her older brother. She’s a preemie and petite, so it’s taken her much longer to get big enough for a safe upgrade. As a mom to 3 kiddos who are five years old and under, I was pretty interested in seeing if it really was easy to install and remove the fabrics for cleaning. We went on a road trip to visit my grandparents and later visited an amusement park over Christmas break. That meant we had many snacks and naps to give this car seat a real test drive. First Up: Snacks! Our favorite on the go meals are nuggets and fries. My daughter liked her, “Sauce Space” (at least that’s what she decided the bonus snack area behind her cup holders were for.). In practicality, she had to kind of bend her arm funny to dip in her sauce because it sits directly under the armrest, but she didn’t mind (and I liked that she wasn’t holding it and spilling it all over herself). As for naps, this car seat wasn’t quite as comfortable as her reclining baby car seat. When she slept, her head tilted forward and to the side and that resulted in a sore neck and crying toddler when she woke up. Honestly, that’s not really preventable when you have an upright, big-kid car seat though, so I don’t fault the seat itself. I appreciated that it didn’t take more than 5 minutes to read through the manual and adjust the seat to her best height. Moving the buckle to a different setting confused me at first, but after I did it, I felt kinda silly for not understanding it at first. It’s really simple to do. Installing the car seat with the anchor and my van’s built in seat belt was really easy too. I didn’t bother with latch straps, but it doesn’t look hard. After we got home from our 2nd trip, the snack spills demanded cleaning. I was delighted that the covers really are easy to remove and put back on. Washed up great in the washer and only having 2 pieces to clean was nice because it is so straightforward (especially compared to her brother’s 3 complicated pieces). I would definitely recommend the Grow With You Harness-to-Booster. It’s built to last till she is ready for the vehicle’s built in restraint and it seems easy to adjust and keep maintained while she grows up. I have a 45 minute commute to work every day, so thank you again to Britax and the Stellar Product Testing Panel for keeping my kiddo safe during all our travels.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were in need of a new car seat for my 4yr old. He is on the smaller side and we wanted something that we knew would last for the many years to come he will be needing a booster seat. We have always loved Britax because of their highly rated safety and the quality of the overall product. Some may say its on the higher end of the price range but I truly believe that this is worth EVERY PENNY! We are a two car family so having a seat that is easy and quick to take out and put in the car is a must. I love the lift up feature as there is no more having to fish the seat belt behind the seat while in the small space of a car. My son is able to buckle himself in which is a huge plus for a mom with 4 kids! Once he buckles we just check to make sure it secure and tight. Lastly, the seat is very comfortable and my child is able to sit in it without complaints for long car rides. I am a huge fan of the head rests so my childs neck is fully supported when he is sleeping. Over all this is a great seat and we will for sure be purchasing another one when our second son is able to begin front facing in his car seat! Once again a HUGE thank you to Stellar Panel for providing me with another amazing product to test as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to clean, easy to install I received this booster seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I like britax products for safety and looks. The grow-with-me seat was easy to install, and my almost 4 year old reports that it is a “really comfortable and really cool big boy chair” and he also says he can see more stuff out the windows. I also like how easy it is to remove the padding and clean it, that definitely gives this seat some points. I also like that Britax does not add any flame retardant chemicals to their baby products. I like the harness for younger kids. My son is tall but slim, so we do have to tighten the harness quite a bit, and it is challenging to adjust. The strap is so long, I have to pull several times, while releasing it with my finger so that it feels secure, I’d like that to be easier. It’s a bit bigger than our other convertible car seat, so if you need three across, there may not be room depending on the car you drive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Britax Grow With You Harness-to-Booster Car Seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was very excited to test this product! However, this car seat was incredibly difficult to install. Even when the seat was tethered, it moved around more than an inch. It was also a struggle to adjust the straps and harness features when trying to strap my child safely in. The feature I liked the most was how padded the seat was. I also like how the covers are easily removable to be cleaned. We all know this is very important for both toddlers and busy moms, such as myself. In addition, I appreciated the double cup holders and that they didn’t take up too much room (I have another car seat in the car as well). My daughter was also comfortable in it. I look forward to using the booster feature when my toddler is big enough. Thank you again to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this opportunity to test this car seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Grow with You Harness-2-Booster seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel about a week before the holidays, and I managed to get a few uses in before the snow and ice hit. We used the booster mode and installation was quick and easy with the LATCH system. The seat feels much heavier than it looks and is quite wide. We currently have 2 boosters installed and I'm not able to ride with them in the back sitting in the middle. The 4 spaces for cups and snacks are very useful according to my child. There's enough space for small toys! She is able to climb in and out, buckle up all on her own, and nap without having her head fall forward. The sides do a nice job keeping her head up unlike the seat from another brand .The steel frame makes the seat very sturdy and gives me peace of mind knowing my child is safe in her seat. Another great thing is the product has 9 years of life, can definitely pass it on to another child. The removable and washable cover is a nice feature. The only thing it didn't come with that I would like is a detachable base so I can take it on trips for a safer ride. I would definitely recommend this booster due to its durability and safety features.
