Evenflo Maestro Harness Booster Car Seat, Taylor

If you are convering from the regular car seat to a booster this is best one. It's like I didn't changed my old car seat at all. It's just bigger and more comfortable. I would recommend this to everyone

I needed a car seat for my 2 1/2 yr old son (about 23 lbs). I have a Nissan Versa Note so not a very big car. This car seat not only seemed compact but also has the integrated water bottle holder feature which is why I chose this car seat. Also I really like the color blue of the car seat. Make sure you turn over the car seat and look for date of manufacture. I bought in Oct and it showed an Oct date of manufacture, so am good. I've been using it for past 20 days with my son in it. Buckling him in and taking him out seem alright. Lot of people complain about getting their thumb cut on the knob that you press down to release the shoulder straps. Just be careful I guess. I've been fine. Also its easy to remove the straps and adjust them to whichever position you need. You'd do this first before installing the car seat. We chose the car seat belt option instead of the latch for securing car seat in the car. That was way more secure and the car seat doesn't move much if at all. My other pic should show how much space is left in the backseat after putting in the car seat. 3 can easily sit in the back seat of my small car. Great purchase. JUst a little miffed that the price dropped close to $20 a week after I purchased it. Hoping to get a refund. Let me see.

Love the style and the ease of installing the seat. The book was unclear if you use the teather straps don't use the car seat belt also it's one or the other! If you only use the top teather use the seatbelt!! Keep kids safe. Down fall I don't like the cup holders.. But my son loves his seat he is 3.

I ended up keeping it, but really not so happy with it. The two main problems are: 1. The straps are so close to each other they are cutting into my kids neck. I had to find very thin, small and soft padding to cover the upper part of the straps and now it is OK, but really a bad design. 2. The seat is in a very strait, so when he falls asleep he is not in a very good position and his head falls forward. Also the seat is very low, so he cant see much out of the window. We are still using it with the harness, So at least the strap thing will be fine once we change into a booster. It does attach nicely to the car with the LATCH system, and seems to be sturdy. Bottem line is that it is a good price, but does need some improvements.

I did lots of research before buying this item and the only downfalls people had to say in their reviews was color, which mine came as a very bright pink!My daughter loved it. Also people were concerned about height and weight and with my daughter being taller and skinnier for a 3 year old it was a concern but I don't have any doubt she'll have her carseat for another coup[le years.
