Evenflo Big Kid AMP High Back Booster Car Seat, Static Black

I am by no means an expert in the realm of booster and car seats but I noticed a lot of negative reviews on here that are based on people not being informed. I thoroughly research these sorts of things before making a decision as my kids safety in the car is paramount. First I would like to address it being flimsy. Its designed that way for a purpose. Its not so much flimsy by flaw. This enables it to follow the velocity of motion and give in the event of an accident. The child is secured with the vehicle belt, so they will not stay in place as with a five point harness secured to a rigid car seat, so this would be of benefit that it would be able to follow the child. As to it moving around after installing... its a booster seat with NO anchors. Of course it will move, the idea of a booster is to lift the child up into position so that the seatbelt fits their body correctly. Its the job of the person buckling the child in to make sure the seatbelt is snug enough that the child and seat don't move around. If the seat can slide around with a child in it while buckled, it isn't on tight enough. This seat is a best bet pick by the NHSA for the fact that it has been rigorously tested and IS safe (when used right). Just make sure when using it with the seat back that the shoulder belt doesn't cross the neck or below the armpit (per the manufacturer in the manual). Make sure to put the lap belt on snug against the child and not over any heavy garments and the seat will not move...Besides the above information, it was easy to assemble and looks like cleaning will be a breeze. It is a hard plastic seat (but aren't all child seats?) But the pad is thick and my two boys seem to like them a good deal. The real test for comfort will be this weekend when we make a two hour trip one way to see family. If I remember, I will update this with how the kids fair comfort wise since that is typically a concern for most when making a decision. I should add that my kids are car babies and like to nap when we go places, and the plus to this seat is that with the back in use the head supports make great "pillows" holding them upright vs falling sideways in the seat.

I have had this product for several months now and I absolutely love it. It fits well in my car and the build of it ensures that the seatbelt sits correctly across my four year old's chest. I really like how it fits in the car well enough for him to easily buckle his own seatbelt, and it is narrow enough that I can fit two other car seats in the back of my sedan (Toyota Prius). Also, the side pockets are great for him to be able to reach his drinks and snacks. He likes having arm rests and the design is very stylish. He recently fell asleep on a road trip and the neck support helped his head to not slump over and made his head considerably more comfortable than other booster seats. The padding on the lower portion of the seat could be thicker, and my son's bottom tends to get uncomfortable on long road trips. It is really light and easy to switch between vehicles, especially since it takes about 15 seconds to install. I have not been in an accident with it (thankfully) but it looks like it would hold up well and feels sturdy.PROs:SafeTwo elastic cup holders keep snacks and drinks secureNeck supportStylish designTakes up little space in the carEasy to installCONs:Could use more padding on the bottom (can be uncomfortable on long road trips)

We tired a couple other seats that were listed as narrow or good for a small car but they didn't fit. I am glad I found this it fits well in our Mazda's small back seats. Unlike the convertible carseat-booster seat in our other car our child has no issues clicking the seat belt around this seat. I think because the base/seat isn't super thick the angle is easy to reach while seated. It has guides for the lap belt and loop to keep the shoulder belt at the appropriate height. The cup holders are basic but work fine for water bottles, sm-med cup sizes. It is very narrow so it isn't going to fit a wide child. But it is deep enough to accommodate my 53 inch long legged child. My child says the seat is comfortable we use it around town regularly as well as short trips 45-90 minutes with no issues. I will note I wasn't sure about it when putting it together especially when extending. But, once in the seat it felt just as stable as our bigger convertible seat. It doesn't have a clip to keep it in place when not in use. But we just leave it buckled in so it doesn't move around in the back (simple solution). I would recommend it to anyone that needs a good seat for small car or one that is light and easy to move between cars.

This is a great booster seat that can combine the seat back or that can be removed to just have the seat base. The seat back can be adjusted up and down as required. The padding and construction seem decent. There are seat belt guides that look like handles just below the head restraints. They do help to keep the seat belt from cutting into the neck or from resting below the shoulder (both configurations are dangerous for kids), but you may need to raise or lower the seat back until the seat belt finally rests between the shoulder blade and the neck (see manufacturer's instructions for correct adjustment). The only issue i have had with the seat belt guides is that the seat belt can get twisted easily if pulling the seat belt quickly. Taking care with this and it's not a problem. If you elect to use the seat base only, there is a strap that will serve the same function (to hold position of the seat belt) if attached correctly. I really like this feature. I don't much care for the drinks holders (there are two; one either side) as they have a molded section in the seat base, but this only wraps half way around the bottle/cup. There is an elastic strap that wraps around the other half of the container. This arrangement works, and there is probably a design reason why it's done this way, but I can't think what it may be. It may be slightly trickier for kids to securely position drinks in the holder. Delivery was on time and price points seems very reasonable. I would recommend this product.

Lo uso desde hace varios años y mi niño va bastante bien, ahora que ya tiene seis me comenta que está un poco duro el asiento y que podría ser más suave pero eso se arregla fácilmente con un cojín pequeño bajo la funda. En cuanto a la instalación no es nada complejo, sólo pasas el cinturón por la ranura y ya. Estoy muy a gusto con el producto

Buen tamaño y bastante cómodo para los niños

Un buen producto. Fácil de instalar y desinstalar, cómoda.

Llegó a tiempo y ha resultado muy cómodo para el niño y práctico para colocar y quitar

Strong and sturdy product, same as mentioned, you can go for it without any doubt.
