If you are reading this you are probably in the market for a backless booster. You want one with LATCH, if your vehicle can make use of that feature, so that the seat is securely attached to the car even when it's not occupied. Otherwise, with a booster that does not have LATCH, you will need to fasten the seat belt around the seat when it's not occupied so that it can't become a flying object in a vehicle crash. Boosters with LATCH are the greatest thing since sliced bread! Since new state laws require kids to be boostered longer and longer and parents drop kids off in car pool lines and don't want to have to get out and go buckle their empty boosters in, LATCH is a necessity for many.

I purchased both the Sunshine Kids Santa Fe Booster and the Clek Olli booster, which are the only two backless boosters with LATCH I could find. I'm not counting high-back boosters with removable backs that have LATCH. I strictly needed a backless booster. We kept both seats and have used... Read more

First of all, I spent the extra money hoping to get a booster that I could use in my 2010 GMC Acadia. I have 3 small kids, 2 in boosters and one in a FF car seat. We simply couldnt make all 3 fit across with their current seats (2 Graco Turbo Boosters and an older Graco something). So we bought this expensive booster AND the expensive Sunshine Kids Radian (which is touted as the narrowest FF seat on the market). However, since the Olli has the LATCH thingys (that stick out), the seat cannot be adjusted ONE INCH to one side or the other. With it up against the Radian in the middle seat (which has no LATCH) the boostered child would not be able to buckle their seatbelt. Therefore, we have to have the booster slightly to the outer side of the latch anchors and pushed into the seat. This is fine, but then we are committed to buckling this booster in when not in use. If it werent a trajectory hazard before, it is even more so with those metal brackets sticking out of the back of the seat... Read more

I wanted to keep my children in car seats until they were teenagers but logistically it was getting difficult. After extensive research, this seat was our only option. We purchased 4 of them - 2 for each of our cars. It is the only booster seat on the market with the LATCH system. Much easier to install than a car seat, it has 2 solid connectors that stick out of the back. They snap right into the car without police/fire installation like our LATCH Britax car seats required. To remove them, there is a loop in the front of the seat that you pull to release the seat from the connectors. If your car is not LATCH equipped, it's not worth the money. Another advantage is that the cover easily comes off to be washed. It also has a foam seat underneath, instead of the traditional hard plastic, that makes the chair comfortable. The seat looks so cool that I might be able to keep my children in this for a few more years.
