Product Instructions
Recommended Use
Highback Booster: 40-100 lb, 43-57"", at least 4 years old; Backless Booster: 40-120 lb, 43-57"", at least 4 years old STOP using this child restraint and throw it away 10 years after the date of manufacture. When forward-facing, children should use a car seat with a built-in harness system for as long as possible until they reach the maximum forward-facing weight or height for their car seat. At that point, children should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat. A booster is no longer needed once the vehicle seat belt fits properly, typically when they reach 4 feet 9 inches tall and are between ages 8-12. Be sure to check your local and state laws, as well as AAP and NHTSA recommendations, for car seat usage.* *Century Supports the American Academy of Pediatrics and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Car Seat Guidelines.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Convenient and practical I received this high back booster from Stellar Product Testing Panel. The description sounded like exactly what I needed so I signed right up! Especially as my daughter is tall for her age and a booster seems like the next step. The slim design makes it incredibly easy to work it. It’s so lightweight I can carry it with one hand and carry other things as well- a marked difference from the one I have been using. As I use multiple cars, this makes it a cinch to switch the car seat out. I tried the high back mode. The Boost On seat is also convenient as it only requires being put into the seat and thereafter just threading the seatbelt through- again very easy to work with. My daughter says it’s very comfortable and soft, and she loves the cup holders. She also liked being able to unbuckle herself easily. The colors are muted and go with any interior. Many great things, but my favorite has to be the lightweight aspect- I carried it up three flights of stairs without an ounce of difficulty! The only thing I had a bit of trouble with was getting the seatbelt to stay in position, but was able to get it eventually. As a single working mom, as well as a full time student, I am always looking for the most convenient things to make life easier. I love that I don’t have to struggle with carrying my daughter’s car seat anymore- one less thing to worry about! Overall, great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Booster Seat The very first thing I noticed when trying this high back booster was how light it is. I was VERY impressed by this as we have had some pretty heavy car seats over the years so this was a welcomed surprise. There are two clear cup holders which are also a necessity for travel. I have two children 4 and 6 so they both meet height and weight requirements for a booster and this has been a perfect addition to our car gear. There are no anchors on the seat so it’s freestanding and secures with a lap belt. My daughter (6 year old) has really enjoyed this seat and uses it without the back while in my husbands car. Thanks to the stellar product testing panel for letting me test this booster seat for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I have already recommended this seat to friends and family.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This High Back Booster was made for me too I am a Mom of 3 kids and my oldest is 7 years old. I am almost ashamed to admit, but up until now, anything that involved installing and moving car seats between vehicles, I left to my husband. My two oldest children recently graduated from their extended 5 point harness seats and I knew it was time for a High Back Booster. And when this Booster arrived in the mail, I was nervous that it would be complicated. But, AT LAST, here is something that I can easily maneuver in and out of the car, between different rows of our van and even different children using it. First of all, it's very aesthetically pleasing - it's sleek and pretty to look at. Second, it's light. I can move this thing with just one hand. Third (and probably most important of all other than safety), it is extremely user friendly. I am able to adjust the head wings up and down to the height of whichever child is riding in it. Also, the seatbelt easily threads through the nice clip. My children are able to buckle themselves easily also. Fourth- if it doesn't get any better than this - the 2 cup holders are removal for washing on the top rack of the dishwasher. No more crusty, yucky cup holders because it's so hard to clean the inside of them stuck to the seat. Lastly, my son, who never naps anymore, even fell asleep in this thing, so it must be comfortable. And, his head was able to safely rest on the head wings and not slump over. The only con is that this lovely silver color may show wear and tear sooner than another darker color. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this highback booster. I now want to purchase one myself to have 2.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight and easy to clean The booster is lightweight and cleans up easily which are two of my biggest points for a booster seat. We have a Honda Odyssey and fit a car seat and two boosters in the middle row easily because of its slim design. We haven’t attached the cup holders it comes with because my kid will make a GIANT mess if given the option but I do like the addition for longer drives. The back comes on and off easily which I don’t find to be the case with many car/booster seats. The booster is super easy to take out and put back in which isn’t a total requirement for us but it is helpful if we want to put the bigs in the third row. I received this product for free as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Lightweight High Back Booster Our 6 year old was ready for an upgrade to a high back booster. We received The Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This booster fits all our needs and then some. Our other car seats are bulky and heavy and require an anchor system, which means we break a sweat when we have to leave a car seat with a baby sitter. The Boost On is easy to move between vehicles even with the high back still attached (we have only tried this seat with the high back attached). Our son now buckles himself in and has no trouble doing so! He loves the two cup holders and finds it comfortable enough to sleep during excursions. While I received this product as part of a testing panel, the price point is something I'd personally be comfortable with (I'm a frugal shopper) and would say this high back booster is worth every penny.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So nice I received the Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster in a simple grey scheme as part of a stellar panel review program. Coming out of the box there's simple instructions to assemble. I had no issues putting this seat together. Upon first seeing it my son was super excited for his big boy seat. Putting the seat in the car was a breeze. It's so lightweight and easy to maneuver. He fits perfectly in his seat. I'm super impressed with this seat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent booster seat I received this Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster through the stellar product testing panel and my child absolutely loves this booster seat! It’s so comfortable and lightweight enough to remove and install again and again. The cushions are very soft and supportive. I definitely recommend this brand!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Awesome Slim Booster The Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster is so easy to install, and the slim lightweight frame makes it a breeze to move between vehicles. My 8-year-old is still comfortable in the high back mode, but I am looking forward to being able to use the backless booster mode as well. The two mode options and the 6-position headrest make me feel confident this booster will continue to be a safe seat until my kiddo is ready to transition out of a booster. One of my favorite things about this seat is that its slim design allows it to easily fit as the third car seat in a row, and my kiddo still has plenty of room to reach and buckle himself. I also love the removable dishwasher safe cup holders and the washable seat cover. My only complaint is that the arm rests are not padded and are a little uncomfortable on long car rides. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this booster and will be happy to use it for years to come. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this fantastic high back booster!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple and Effect Booster Seat I received the Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It was very simple and quick to put together and even easier to put in my car. It’s much less bulky than the 5-point harness car seat she was using previously. My daughter is using it as a high back booster at the moment and hasn’t had any problems getting herself buckled when she gets in the car. Although I did find it a little confusing to figure out how the belt fits with the arm rests. The seatbelt guide ensures that her seatbelt lays across her chest correctly every time. I was very happy about the two cup holders! My kids always bring small toys in the car as well as a water bottle, so two cup holders is a must-have. Overall it’s been a great seat so far!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Boost On 2 in 1 Slim High Back Booster I love my Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster that I received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel! I feel good as a parent putting my child in the Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster. My child fits perfectly in it and I love that the back headrest adjust with my child as he grows so it can be used for longer. I love the most that after he outgrows the high back booster it can be used as just a booster so I won’t have to purchase another carseat ever! The cushion is slim enough that my child sits comfortable in it and doesn’t get over heated. The belt holder part helps keep the seatbelt in an easy to reach place so my child can buckle himself in. The only negative about the Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster is the light colored padding. My child is messy and has already got marker on the seat and with it being a cream color the marker mark sticks out. I would love for it to be available in darker colors.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great lightweight booster seat I received the Century Boost On Slim 2-in-1 high back booster from the stellar product testing panel. It came at the perfect time as my daughter is 5.5 and we were just starting to think about booster training her. We have been using it in high back booster mode as she is not yet ready for a backless booster. The first thing I noticed about this booster seat was how lightweight it is and how easily I was able to get it in and out of my van. I tried putting it in both the middle row and the third row and it fit perfectly everywhere and was easily moved around. My daughter was so excited to get to use a regular seatbelt instead of her harness and I loved how easily I could tuck the shoulder strap of the belt into the belt guide and allow her to buckle and unbuckle herself. It didn’t take her long at all and within a day she was getting in and out of the car independently! She has been happy riding in this seat and says it is comfortable. Another feature I love about this booster is that the cup holders are easily removable and can be washed in the dishwasher which makes keeping them clean so easy. While I love the slim design of the booster I do feel that it may be a little too slim for bigger kids, my daughter is barely booster age and already doesn’t have a lot of growing room before I feel she will be packed a little too tightly into the back of this seat. However she is also a big kid for her age, so a more average or smaller kid would likely be able to use this seat longer more comfortably. I don’t feel that this is the seat’s fault, just something for parents to consider if they have larger children and want longevity out of a car seat. Overall I am very happy with this seat and we plan to keep using it and will likely buy a second one to use in my husband’s car.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great high back booster We received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and my 5 year old daughter has loved it! It is lightweight, making it easy to move in and out of our van & our daughter can buckle herself in now which is a huge plus. We have yet to use it without the high back but we're excited that it can be used in the future as she grows. Have no complaints about this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy and awesome I received this product to test through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It was super easy to put together and my kids loved sitting in it even before I got it in the car! Installation was super simple and my kids love being able to buckle themselves. I love the dishwasher safe cup holders so all the nasty snack stuff can easily be washed! While we are keeping this in the car, it would be a great seat for grandparents/babysitters because it can fold down completely flat for storage. Easy, secure, and clean! A parent win!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really love this booster I received this seat to review and I'm really loving this booster! It is lightweight and easy to use. Great for moving from car to car. My almost 7 year old says it is comfortable and he has no problems buckling himself. So happy with this seat! We plan to be using it for a long time.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Boost on 2 in 1 I received the Boost on 2 in 1 booster seat as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was able to use this product in the high back booster mode. Overall I was fairly impressed with the seat. My daughter is 5 and she didn't have any complaints riding in the seat. She is bigger for her age but she seemed to have plenty of room in the seat and didnt seem squished and was able to easily buckle herself in. I also really liked that it was super lightweight. I have to transfer this into a grandparent car from time to time and I no problem moving it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Safe and Comfotable High Back Booster The Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster, is a powerhouse, in a lightweight package. My 7-year-old is 53” tall and was no longer able to sit comfortably in her previous high back booster. For the last few months, we have had her in a backless booster but her seatbelt placement was not always ideal with that seat. This seat corrected those issues for her, it is so easy for her to buckle up! She was thrilled with the level of comfort in the seat and the cup holders! This seat is super quick to assemble and install. Mom bonus, I can clean her side of the car out now in seconds. We tried both modes but ultimately decided to stay with the high back mode for now. My favorite part is that I feel she is safer in this seat. Her seat belt is now perfect each time we get in the car and she has stated that it is super comfy. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this high back booster! This booster is fantastic!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Boost On 2 in 1 Slim High Back Booster I was given this highback booster to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Since my son is still 4 years old and has only been in a booster seat for about 8 months, we solely tested the mode with the back piece. First off, the seat was incredibly easy to put together, so I'm sure switching between modes would be a piece of cake as well. I loved how the cup holders are removable and dishwasher safe! The material on the seat itself is machine washable and appears to be easy to remove. The entire seat is very lightweight and was easily placed in the third row of my minivan. I can also see how it's slim design would be wonderful for smaller vehicles and when you need to fit 3 car seats/boosters across a row. There was a noticeable difference between this seat and our normal booster, but the seat room for my son wasn't compromised. I was nervous that my son wouldn't be able to buckle himself in like he normally does, but nailed it after a couple of tries. The belt guides were in just the right spot for him on the lowest setting-there are 6 total for the headrest. Overall, he was comfortable in the seat and even fell asleep in it this afternoon. I didn't like how the seat leaned to the side a few inches when he was sleeping that way, but I don't think it affected his safety in the seat. This booster seat will not replace our current booster (as it has the latch system and a bit more padding around the head), but I would definitely recommend this seat and will be using it in the future in grandparent vehicles and for transporting friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Versatile affordable choice We received the Boost On 2 in 1 Slim High Back Booster as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel program. Right out of the box it was very easy to assemble, only a couple pieces and the cup holders. It was ready to use in just a minute. The seat felt safe to use, but it is not very heavy or hard like some seats. It had adequate cushion to it. The cup holders are nice and deep, which is a huge plus. As the kids get older, their water bottles get taller. I don’t see any problem with bottles tipping out of the cup holders while driving. I have six children and two of them are at the appropriate age for this seat right now. My 6 year old (pictured) used it with the back on and my 8 year old used it without the back. Both of my daughters loved it! Actually they fought over who got to use it more. It wasn’t a problem to switch back and forth because the back is so simple to attach and remove. If there’s any downside to it at all, that might be that it comes apart too easily. Kids could definitely mess with it and remove the back themselves. My three year old son took it apart several times during the afternoon it sat in the family room before we installed it in the car. It’s up to you if that’s a pro or con. The headrest height is very easy to adjust, though it takes two hands - one to squeeze the yellow handle and one to hold the shoulder area down while you pull. The seat is nice and slim, which is helpful for anyone who has more than one child in a car seat of any kind. If you know, you know! My daughter could easily buckle herself securely. She had no complaints about the buckle rubbing her neck, thanks to the yellow belt guide which keeps it right where it needs to be. It kept her sitting up nice and straight too, no slouching. I love knowing we are car seat safe in this booster seat. This is a solid choice for use in any vehicle, but I think it would especially shine as an extra seat for transporting between vehicles or for extra caregivers to keep on hand since it so quickly and easily adjust between kids of different sizes and ages. The neutral color is perfect for that too. I have no doubt we will get many years of use out of this seat!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Slim and lightweight I was given this highback booster to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This booster seat was perfect to use in our SUV where we already have 2 other car seats for our younger kids. The slim design makes it easy to fit in and I feel comfortable knowing he is riding safe. It was easy to get together and put in the SUV, its lightweight to be able to move around and move from our vehicle to grandparents if they need to use it for a day. The seat was deemed comfortable by my son as well as we drove to school drop offs all week. I would be interested if he felt that way after a long car ride for hours. The cupholders were a good add on to have for him to store not only a cut but all the small toys they bring with them. This will be perfect to use with him for years to come as my son is about 50 lbs and this will be able to grow with him for use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Definitely recommend We always have an issue getting our youngest to get in his car seat, and staying it in. But, with this Century 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster we haven't had any issues! He really seems to like this one. It has pretty thick padding, making it a lot more comfortable. The cup holders are amazing! They clip in, and actually stay put, plus his drinks don't fall out of this one. The quality is just phenomenal! This is designed incredibly well! Next, this sits on my seat perfectly, it doesn't tilt, slide, none of that. The headrest is very easy to use, it lifts up, and down very well, no fighting to get it to work. The car seat with the head support on, isn't very heavy at all. I want to say roughly 10-15 pounds. It's a very heavy duty car seat, but isn't heavy when lifting, or carrying. That I really like, makes it easier when having to take it from one car to another, or taking out and putting back in. The Booster Seat itself is roughly 5 pounds. This also doesn't take up a lot of room in my vehicle either, or my wife's. We both have SUV's, and this fits great in both, while still having room. I also want to mention the assembly. It was very easy to put this together. It came in 4 pieces, the head rest, cup holders, and seat. The padding was already attached which I really liked with this as well. The cup holders were very easy to put on. Just slide the piece down in, and it will click once they're locked in. When putting the head rest onto the seat, flip both upside down, and slide the two pieces together until they snap into place. Make sure to tuck the padding from the headrest underneath the lower back support. Then you connect the hooks on the headrest to the hooks on the seat. Lift the headrest all the way up until you hear it click into place. Make sure you hear the click sound so you know it is locked in correctly. Also, the instructions tell you step by step, including pictures of how to properly assemble. They're very clear, and easy to understand. Lastly, the weight and height for the Booster with back is, 40-100 pounds, and 43-57 inches tall. For Booster without the back is 40-120 pounds, and 43-57 inches tall. Both being at least 4 years old to use. I highly recommend this car seat, it is incredible quality, and both of my boys love it!! I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel for my honest feedback.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Lightweight and Sturdy Design I am a mother of 4 children (8, 6, 5, & 2). I was able to try out the Century Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster with my two oldest children. Putting the unit together wasn’t difficult. I was a little unsure when I was putting it together with the high back whether or not I had the back fully attached to the bottom portion of the booster, so I took it off and started over. The next time I heard a definitive “click” affirming that I was successful. The cupholders snapped in easily, but you do need to check to make sure you’re putting the correct one on each side. You can remove them for cleaning, but it takes a little force to get them out (I prefer it this way so the kids don’t accidentally remove them when they’re full). The cup holders did not fit my daughter’s normal cup, unfortunately. I also appreciated that we could take out a cupholder if we have a passenger in between our kids in the vehicle. We did not have to use the belt positioning clip. My kids were impressed when they read the fabric was made with recycled plastics. The booster came with an instruction manual. The manual was very thorough, but I had trouble following where to go next (this was my fault for being over eager and not looking at the first few pages). Pages 2-3 tell you what setup goes with what section (i.e. 3B=Install Highback Booster). I had started in the correct section and assumed I could just read straight through. This didn’t work as the manual sometimes alternated from backless to high back. You will save time if you follow the directions on pages 2-3. My oldest daughter (8) tried it out backless. In the past, she had been in a booster with a back, so this was a change for her. She liked the booster a lot. She said the comfort level was good. After a couple practice sessions on how to run the seatbelt, she was good to go. The cupholders did not get in her way. The booster isn’t anchored to the vehicle, but this didn’t seem to be an issue. The booster moved up a little on one side when she got out, but fell back in place so it was ready for the next trip. My second daughter (6) gave it a try with the high back attached. She has not had much booster experience, so she also required a couple lessons on how to run the seatbelt. She caught on fairly quickly. She thought it sat well and was pleased with how smooth the cup holders were. The booster isn’t anchored to the vehicle, but the seatbelt guide assisted in holding the booster where it needed to stay when she got out of it. Overall, I’d say this is a great seat. It felt sturdy, but wasn’t cumbersome. I appreciated the lightweight design as I took it out to change from backless to high back between my girls. I feel confident that my kids will have many safe rides in this seat. A big thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this Century High Back Booster Seat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2 in 1 Slim High Back Booster Seat I recieved this Boost On 2-in-1 High Back Booster seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I'm really glad I did. I've been struggling trying to find a good seat to fit this eighty pound five year old. This seat is perfect for him. I love the wide seat, he fits in there really well, he is very comfortable. He loves that there are two cup holders, one for his cup, and one for his cars. It is very lightweight and easy to move in and out of my car. It fits well into my Jeep Compass. I like that the top bracket for the seat belt latches and actually holds the belt into place and he is more secure in the seat. We had to go about an hour away and he had surgery. He was still drowsy and out of it when I put him in the car for the ride home. The seatbelt held him securely and I laid the car seat back and the booster laid back with it and he slept comfortably on the way back home. This is an awesome seat for the bigger child.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fantastic Highback Booster I've been using this booster for my 7-year-old daughter, and have been very impressed by the design and ease of use. I have been using it in Highback mode to provide the most head support and side protection, but have also installed and used it in Backless mode to be able to provide comments for review. Here are my thoughts on various aspects of the product: INSTALLATION: The easy installation is probably my favorite thing about this booster seat- it is an absolute BREEZE! For Highback mode, simply put it on the seat, route the shoulder portion of the vehicle seatbelt through the guide on the head support, and you’re done! For Backless, snap the back support off, place booster on the seat, and use vehicle seatbelt to buckle child. A belt positioning clip is provided in case the seatbelt does not fit the child properly. The instruction manual was very clear and user-friendly, as well. Assembling the product took about 5 minutes, maximum. I did have to remove the head support from the vehicle seat to allow the booster to fit properly, but that was no big deal. EASE OF USE: This booster would be ideal for anyone who has to switch car seats often- grandparents who help care for kids of varying ages, etc. The hassle-free installation and slim, lightweight design takes the headache out of switching seats. It can be easily stowed in any trunk, and is light enough to lift with one arm. My daughter was able to quickly learn how to do the buckle herself, although I always check to make sure everything has been done properly. She LOVES the relative freedom of movement it provides compared to her previous 5-point harness child seat. The seat is comfortable, and she enjoys having the 2 cup holders. One feature that could use minor improvement is the head support adjustment lever. It does not slide between positions very smoothly….after some toying with it, I learned to wait for an audible “click” when lifting the lever before sliding up or down. Also, the yellow plastic that allows for the adjustment seems somewhat cheaply made (see image)….not sure how long it would last with frequent use. It’s not a big deal when the seat only needs to be adjusted as one child grows, but could become an issue if constantly adjusted for multiple kids. MAINTENANCE AND CARE: The seat cover is machine-washable. In the past, I have had “machine washable” seat covers that were such a pain to remove and put back on the seat that it wasn’t worth it. I decided to remove the covers for this booster to see if it would be a similar experience, but was very pleasantly surprised. Each of the parts of the seat- head rest, back support, and base- has a separate covering. This makes it SO much easier to remove and replace. Each cover fits snugly enough to be a good fit, but not so tight that it is impossible to put back. They are attached to the frame by elastic bands that are easily manipulated. One drawback, however, is that there is no continuous material to cover the entire seat….this means that any crumbs or spills will go through the gaps between the separate parts and directly onto the vehicle seat (see image). That being said, it would certainly be a good idea to use an approved seat protector under this booster, especially if your family snacks on the go as much as mine. SAFETY I am an absolute stickler for car seat safety. When expecting my first child, I was horrified to read that a huge percentage of car seats are installed incorrectly. For that reason, I always had my car seats installed or checked by a certified child passenger safety technician (many fire and police stations have at least one person with this certification). Prior to trying this booster, my only experience had been with typical 5-point harness infant/child seats that are rather complicated to install. All of them required that the base not be able to move much more than an inch in any direction. To be honest, the simplicity of this seat was unnerving at first. It felt almost too easy to install. The base moves all over the place when a child isn’t sitting in it. Without the vehicle seat belt, there is nothing holding the seat to the car. Nothing. I wished that there were lower anchors and tethers (LATCH). It seemed to go against everything I knew about car seats. So, I launched into a ton of research on booster seats and realized I knew absolutely NOTHING about them! Here’s what I learned: - Booster seats are intended to do exactly what the name implies: boost the child to a height for which the regular vehicle seat belt can be properly used. It is not necessary for the seat to be attached to the vehicle, because the seat belt secures both the child and the seat once buckled. - LATCH is only safe up to a certain weight limit. Parents, please, PLEASE read every word of the manuals that come with your car seats. I know it’s a snooze, but there is very important information that might only be mentioned once. I was shocked to see that my prior seat’s LATCH could only be used for a child up to 40 lbs!! For a booster, the purpose of the LATCH would be to secure the seat while not in use so that it doesn’t become a projectile in an accident. It is not strong enough to keep a child larger than a certain weight safe. While the child may be securely attached to the seat, it isn’t going to do any good if the seat doesn’t stay attached to the car! Please know the weight limit for your LATCH systems and secure all car seats with the seat belt installation method once that limit has been reached. For this reason, the LATCH feature can be marketed in a misleading way for booster seats. - However, I learned that one possible benefit of LATCH would be to keep the base from shifting sideways during a side impact, thus helping maintain proper positioning of the vehicle seat belt. A tether could also add some stability (but should never be used without lower anchors). - An important consideration when selecting a booster is the maturity of the child. For this booster, the child MUST be able to sit properly in the seat for the entire ride, without tampering with the seatbelt. Otherwise, one with a 5-point harness should be used (installed with vehicle seat belts, NOT LATCH if over weight limit!). All of this considered, because my daughter is able to sit properly in the seat, I have confidence in the safety of this booster. The only potential improvement would be the additional stability of lower anchors and a top tether……however, this would complicate the installation a bit, which is the main selling point of this booster, in my opinion. In summary, this is a fantastic booster that is incredibly lightweight, easy to install, and easy to clean. It is perfectly safe for mature kiddos who can sit properly for extended periods. The lack of lower anchors and a top tether is worthy of consideration, but may be a reasonable concession for the ease of installation and maintenance, especially for those who switch car seats frequently. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this highback booster.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Booster I was given this highback booster to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My child used it in High Back Booster mode. Both my child and I have loved this booster. My personal favorite feature is how lightweight it is. Its lightness makes it so much easier to maneuver. I also appreciated the way you put the seatbelt through the placement piece. All other high back boosters we have used somehow make this part so difficult, but this seat's placement piece made it a breeze. I love that the cupholders are dishwasher safe, because, well, kids are messy. It also is a smart-looking seat, which is a nice bonus. My child's favorite part is the armrests. He said they're the perfect height and he can actually use them to rest his arms. Getting to the seatbelt is no problem for him, which is pretty important. There is nothing about the seat that we don't like. All that to say, we both like the seat and he will be using it regularly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Slim And Lightweight My daughter is 7 years old and the Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster is a safe option for her. This booster has a slim lightweight design without sacrificing any safety features. It really is very very lightweight. It makes it easy to move between my car and my husbands. My daughter loves how easily she can glide the seat belt and buckle it herself. She says it’s very comfortable too and not hard like her old one. Best part is, this is made out of recycled materials. Also, we love the two cup holders that are easily removable for washing. The lighter color on the headrest is pretty but seems like it might get dirty easily. However, I’m not worried as removing it to wash is very easy. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this highback booster. I’m very happy with this product. Definitely recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent and light weight We received the Boost on 2-in-1 slim high back booster seat from Stellar Product testing panel. It truly is a slim seat and fit well not only by itself but also next to our other rear and forward facing car seats. My son (5.5 years old, 41lbs) said it was very comfortable and he preferred the high back attached as it helped make it easier to buckle since the seat belt stayed within easy reach. I like that we have the option to use just the booster as he gets older and moves from car to car. We haven’t washed the cover yet but it seems easy to take apart and clean. The cup holders are also great and fit most of our water bottles too. Overall, this is a solid choice for anyone in the market for a booster seat with versatility!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Almost perfect I received the Century Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my review. There is a lot about this booster that I like, and it certainly is a top contender to purchase when my other kid is ready to switch to a booster seat. The positive: The fabric (which is apparently made from recycled plastics, which is a nice touch) is smooth and comfortable for my son, and doesn’t retain heat/get sweaty like his car seat did. Crumbs brush very easily off it, too, and there aren’t too many crevices for crumbs to get stuck in, which I appreciate. The dual cup holders come completely off for easy cleaning, rather than just an insert popping out which never seems to get clean enough. The height adjustability is very simple while out of the car, though it’s awkward and difficult to adjust when it is in the car. I definitely recommend having your kid sit in it on the floor and adjusting it before you bring it out to your car. Once it is done, though, it feels secure and there are enough adjustment options to get a good fit. The color (I got the solid light grey) is classic and subtle and blends into the car interior nicely. I like the overall look of the seat. The seat is very lightweight and easy to carry in one hand. The assembly out of the box was extremely simple (less than 3 minutes with a toddler and preschooler “helping”…), and most of that was reading the instruction manual. The manual is clear, concise, and answered all of my questions. The not-as-great: My son has a hard time buckling himself in (though no trouble getting out) because the base of the seat butts right up against the seatbelt fixture, so getting the right angle of the buckle to push it in is tricky and often takes me a few tries- so far he has not been able to correctly buckle himself at all. If the base were a bit smaller this might not be an issue. Really, the biggest issue I have with this seat is the size of the seat, which may not really even be a fair issue to be disappointed with. Having been marketed as “slim”, I had hoped that this would take up a little less space in my back seat so that a person could fit in the rear seat between this and a car seat, but this is not the case. The seat fits my 50th percentile height/weight 5-year-old with plenty of room to spare, but when installed takes up just as much room as his (slightly slimmer than average sized) car seat did. I have a Ford C-Max, which has a rear bench about the size of a sedan or a Honda CRV, and if I had two of these installed no adult would be able to fit in the middle (and it would be tight for any kid big enough not to need a booster). I also tried to fit this booster between two car seats, and it was too wide to fit, so you’d need a bigger size car to fit three kids across easily based on my experience. There may be some regulatory reason for the width of this seat, so perhaps it’s not even fair of me to pick this out, but I had just hoped that “slim” would be slimmer. This isn’t a deal-breaker for me, and overall I would still recommend this seat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy and Lightweight I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This carseat was definitely one of the easiest I've ever installed! The lightweight and narrow design is so convenient, particularly if you have more than one carseat that you're trying to navigate in your backseat- as a mom of three kids I really love that. My daughter's favorite feature is the two cup holders! We almost always have at least one beverage in hand and the other cup holder can be a place to put her little treasures. Little things like that come in handy more than you'd think. While I love how easy it is to take in and out of the car, I felt a little uneasy at how lightweight it was for my little four year old. She's quite small and even with the belt pulled all the way through and tightened to a safe pressure she seemed to move around more than I would've liked around corners. This would be less of an issue if she was a bit heavier, and as she grows I'm sure we'll feel more comfortable with her stability, but it's something to consider for parents of small and light children.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Boost On 2 In 1 Booster [I was given this high back booster to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel] Knowing my 5 year-old would be ready to transition to a high back booster seat soon, I’ve been on the hunt for a seat that is safe and slim. The Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster was exactly the minimalist option I was looking for! The first thing I noticed is how light-weight the seat is. I also love that it took me three easy steps and less than 10-minutes to assemble. Because it’s a booster seat, installation was a breeze. I found that the included belt positioning clip was not needed for proper seat belt positioning in our case, but I’m glad to have it for when we transition to the backless booster mode. When it came to adjusting the head support for my daughter, I found the adjustment lever was not as easy to maneuver as I would like. This could be in part due to how light the booster is, and this detail is not a deal-breaker for me. My daughter is in and out of the booster quickly and absolutely loves it! Some other favorite features include: -The cup holders are easy to remove, dishwasher safe, and pop back into place easily. -The fabric is made of recycled plastic! -My daughter: “I like that I can use the grown up seat belt!”

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceeded expectations I received the Boost On 2-in-1 Slim High Back Booster in exchange for an honest review from Stellar Panel. Over the course of many years having multiple children the oldest being 21 I have used many booster seats. This booster however would be used for my daughter who has special needs, so it means a lot to be something she is comfortable with as well since she is very sensory sensitive. As a mother safety is important to me and the ability to use the booster and access my 3 rd row seating for my large family is a must. Pros Minimal packaging, soft lightweight, easy to clean, great price point, easily adjustable, comfortable, slim to access 3rd row, 2 removable cup holders for easy cleaning, made from recycled materials, looks like a high end booster, back easily removes when needed, arm rests and padding on back for extra comfort, my daughter loves it! Cons Still slim but a little wider than expected, no other cons for me or my daughter! I absolutely recommend this booster, it’s not just a new favorite for me but it is my daughters favorite too, she loves it so much she was thrilled when she saw it and so excited for car trips which she previously hated with the leather seats we have. The comfort of the booster makes her feel more secure and makes me feel she is safe and happy. Knowing I can remove the padding and wash it and it’s made from recycled materials is a huge plus.
