Maestro Sport Booster Car Seat (Granite Gray)

This car seat is exactly as advertised and the cup holders are deep and awesome, hold the Owala water bottle 16 oz just fine and a cup holder food tray works great because these are high enough. If people would read directions, it clearly states to screw the cup holders in and they stay fine. Other nice feature is my 4 year old can buckle themselves since the harness snaps in easily enough she’s not scared she’ll pinch herself. One note that it does NOT fit in a rear seat of a Jeep Wrangler. Since this seat doesn’t recline or move the Wrangler seats are too upright. Fits perfect in SUV captain chairs.

Installation is on par with other similar car seats. The quality is good although I wish the seat cushioning was a little better. I'm not super excited about all the steps required to convert if from a 5-point harness to a seat belt booster seat. Still, it's a good seat for the money. The fact that it can be used with a 30 lb. child (meeting the age and height requirements) was a primary reason for us buying it.

This car seat was really easy to install and the only assembly required was screwing in the cupholders. I felt I was able to get it more tightly secured than some others I have used before. I do wish the detachable headrest had a little more cushion to it. Other than that, I highly recommend it.

It’s unfortunate that the people that complain about the cup holders not staying in place can have kids and be responsible for another life… there’s a screw that comes with it to screw in the base from the bottom. It’s a great car seat so far, so easy to install, and cup holders that stay in place when you read the instructions. It has a lot more cushion than some of the others in this price range. Would recommend.

I returned this item because after just 2 uses, the seat fabric began to "pill". My grand daughter is a 35 pound 4 year old. In addition, the arm rest/cups would not remain snapped in.

Easy in/out of car seat. Stands up well to toddlers and their active natures. Mounts pretty quickly into car. I trust the safety of my grandchildren using this seat.

The seat is okay, although the cup holders are a pain, they don’t stay on, it’s a constant hassle and now the toddler has stuck her finger in the hole and I had to pull off the road to get her finger out. Covered with tape, she’s pulling it off and making a mess. If I hadn’t bought it a few months before her visit I would have sent it back.

I am super, super happy with this car seat as a travel seat for a 4-year-old. It's lightweight and easier to install than other seats we have tried. It feels safe and secure when installed and my child says it's comfortable. This is a great pick if you're looking for an affordable, front-facing travel seat!
