Safety 1st Apex 65 Booster Car Seat in Cascades

Purchased this for a gift to be used by my grandson. Its was one of the few seats rated to use the harness up to a 65 pound weight limit, which tilted the decision in the favor of this seat. My son/daughter-in-law are so far very happy with the seat. The only problem my son initially had was with the mounting brackets which he said were somewhat farther apart than their previous car seat's brackets-- he said if he couldn't line them up with the brackets in the car, he would mount the seat using another method. I havn't checked with him to see how he ended up mounting it, so can't report on that. They feel happy with the quality of the seat and that my grandson should be able to use it for quite a while, as he is almost 3, tall for his age, but not very heavy and the harness straps will be able to adust to his shoulder height as he continues to grow. Looked at many seats and very few accomodate the harness use past 40 pounds, and we all feel the harness is the safest.

Great price and the great quality! The fabric was better than I expected from the picture. I feel like my 4 yr old is much safer than in his lap belt booster seat!

We've had this car seat for over 5 months and it has worked wonderfully. My son adjusted to it very quickly and calls it his "big boy" seat. It is very comfortable (lots of padding) and cleans very easily. The straps have twisted only a couple of times in all of this time, so it really hasn't been a problem. I would highly recommend this seat - very affordable.

This car seat is a real blessing for children who are 40 lbs. plus and are not yet ready for a typical booster seat. The fire company where this seat was installed said that they wish more people would consider the value of a 5 point harness system after the 40lb. limit. We did not need to have it installed there. We just know the firemen and chose to feel safer. Children can turn around in a second in a booster seat and the next second there is an accident. We love the seat and I feel so much better now when my grandather travel on the highways.
