Graco TurboBooster Stretch Booster Seat - Ainsley

I bought this to replace another transitional booster seat from a reputable brand. On the other brand, when I swapped from using the 5-pt harness to the seatbelt, it frankly never fit my son properly. You also couldn't use the the seat anchors after 40 lbs, so his seat was always loose feeling and belt was always twisted and in an awkward position. I am very happy with this purchase because all the problems I had with his other seat are solved. He's learning to buckle himself in and this seat makes it pretty easy. I am a Graco fan now. Also moving to another car is quite easy thanks to the quick lock anchors. I'm in love with this seat. Wish I had gotten it earlier.

Easy to set up, comfortable-safety wings on back make snoozing on long car rides easy.

Great product but seat is a little big. I would not recommend for anybody looking for slim seats to fit a lot in a car. But it is comfy.

Holds her head in place, comfortable & she can see out of the window.

Well made, my Grandson loves it. Got at a very good price

Super easy to install and lightweight so quick to change from one car to the next. My kids love their new seats and say they are very comfortable and I love that they have cup holders that actually fit most cup sizes and keep the cups in the holders without spilling out. Easy to clean the fabric as well

Thank you to the Wee Spring Parent Panel for sending me the Graco Turbobooster Stretch to try! The seat went together quickly and was easy to assemble. However, I immediately noticed it just doesn't feel as substantial as our other car seats - the plastic isn't as sturdy and the seat doesn't have as much cushion. No complaints from my 5-year-old on comfort, though. He was just disappointed in only one cupholder. He likes to keep a water bottle in one cupholder and small toys in the second cupholder on his other seat. I was really pleased with the ease of installation with the latch. The belt positioning clip was a little flimsy. Overall, we're grateful to have this is a second car seat for Dad's car but it wouldn't be our first choice.

I received this booster seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and ended up really loving it and I plan on buying an additional one. This booster is really good. Not only does it seem super safe, it's also the only one I've ever seen that is able to adjust to your child. This is nice because it means we will be able to use it longer as my daughter grows, but I also found that it helps keep her head from flopping forward when she sleeps. The only thing I didn't love was the "secret" compartment on the side. In theory, it seems like it would be good, but for us, there's not enough room to open it/use it when others are in the backseat and it was just a crumb collector when it was opened. Overall, though, I'd say it's a great choice!

I received this booster seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. You can use it as a high-back booster or just a booster. We installed with the back and compared to our other booster seats that we own, I like that it has loops for the seatbelt and feels cushier in the seat. It was super easy to put together and install. My child likes it saying it feels softer and the seatbelt glides much smoother through the loop compared to his other seat. I would say a con is that it takes up more space than our other seats. A pro is that later I'll be able to disassemble and use just the seat while my other seats that I own cannot be disassembled.

I was able to try out this booster courtesy of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My favorite features of the TurboBooster are the easy installation with latch connectors, light weight, and the adjustable back rest and head rest.

I used the high back mode of this booster for my 6 year old, who weighs just over 50 lbs. The latch connectors, pictured here, were super easy to install and tighten--awesome! I really appreciate a high back booster that can be installed with latch: it gives a bit more peace of mind, as the seatbelt will just have to restrain my child, and not the whole seat. I could carry the seat around one handed without difficulty, definitely a plus for parents or caregivers who are changing cars, carpooling, and juggling multiple kids and their gear. I also liked the ease of adjustability of the booster back height. It was quick to get it set up perfectly for my child.

Something I think could be improved is adding an alert for proper belt path across the waist. The plastic at the shoulder which positions the shoulder belt is red--great!--but the path for the waist belt is not. I think it is easy for less informed caregivers, or even children buckling themselves, to forget that the belt needs to travel under the arm rests and not over. You can see in the photo below how, if you extend the back height, the belt path could be confused for over the arm rests instead of under. My son felt the seat was slightly less comfortable and slightly more difficult to buckle than his other seat, but these will not prevent me from using the seat in carpools or with the grandparents for short trip. It does seem well made and reliable.

I have used the Graco TurboBooster Stretch as a high back booster. It has been very easy to adjust, and easy to find a great fit for my son since the headrest and backrest adjust separately. It feels secure since it uses the Latch system. My son loves the snack and drink holders too and he is getting used to hooking a seatbelt himself. I have received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

We were lucky enough to test this seat thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We love everything about this seat. I really like that you can install this booster seat with the latch system. It is lightweight, but sturdy and easy to transfer from car to car if need be. The headrest and back adjustments also make it easy to ensure the seatbelt comes across the chest of your child where it is supposed to. My son loves sitting like a big boy and thinks the tray that slides in and out on the side is great for holding his toy cars that he brings everywhere with us. I plan on buying a second seat for my husband's vehicle!

As soon as the Graco TurboBooster Stretch arrived, my husband was eager to get it installed for our growing almost 7 year old. She has been getting longer by the minute and her little sister is following suit. My professional booster installer, aka my husband, could not believe how light the booster was nor how incredibly easy it was to adjust and install. From opening the box to fully installed took about 15 minutes. Normally, I'd think that lightweight wasn't a plus for a booster for safety reasons, but about 95% of our car seats from infant to booster have been Graco which is a name I trust when it comes to safety. My oldest couldn't wait for the maiden voyage and commented on how she doesn't feel squished in and that she likes both the headrest and arm rests. She's looking forward to a long road trip for sure! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this booster seat.

The Turbobooster Stretch 2 in 1 booster car seat made by Grace is perfect for the child ready to transition from a 5 point harness. My 5 year old son, average weight and height, loves this car seat in high back mode. We have a few different booster car seats for different cars and he prefers this one. He can easily buckle himself in while in this booster (and be able to do it correctly because of the red belt guides), probably because it sits lower and the arm rests aren't bulky. This is a no frills booster seat that's great for budgets without sacrificing any safety or comfort. While we aren't driving as much nowadays during the pandemic, when we do visit family, my son is comfortable and safe even when he falls asleep. It is very easy to get a great fit and I know this car seat will definitely grow with my child as the backrest and headrest can be extended (great feature for those taller kids) and eventually convert to backless mode. I really like the fabric and airflow channels to keep my often sweaty child from getting too hot. My husband really likes this booster because it was extremely easy to install due to use of the LATCH anchors, which will come in handy when we need to move it to the grandparents' cars. I'm so glad the one cup holder is big enough to fit a large water bottle (it's so sad when we come across a holder than can only accommodate small bottles)! The secret snack/toy compartment doesn't work for us as we can't open it fully as it hits the center tray between the captains chairs of our car. It would not be an issue if the booster is installed behind the drivers seat or if we had a bench seat in the middle row. That's just a minor complaint and overall I would highly recommend this 2 in 1 booster for families looking for one that is rigorously tested, easy to install and adjust, and comfortable! Thank you, Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this booster seat. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this booster seat. I was excited to try out this new booster to see if it would be a good switch for my six year old who is currently in a 5-point harness booster. We tried it with the highback, and I very much appreciate that both the backrest and headrest are adjustable, which definitely helps keep it safe and comfortable. I also was very happy with the latch attachment to help keep it secure and in place even when not in use. My daughter loved the cup holder and little storage compartment. Overall this seems a good booster with excellent longevity of use thanks to how adjustable it is and the wide weight range.

I was given this booster seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I'm so glad! The seat is perfect for my average size just turned 7 year old. I appreciate that it works now and will grow with him through the end of his car seat sitting days. The height of the head rest is easy to adjust and we removed the back just to see what that was like (we're not comfortable with him riding that way yet) and that was simple, too. My favorite part is the loops at the shoulders to hold the seat belt in place for him to be able to buckle himself. Hallelujah! I love being able to glance back to confirm that he's buckled in properly (this new design is even better at keeping the seat belt in place than an old Affix we've used). I feel like that just changed my life. Cup holder is great, too. Another highlight for us is that the latch system gives it a very sturdy feel while buckled in and helps me feel safer riding around with a secured seat rather than a potential projectile when he isn't in the car with me holding it down. Highly recommend!

Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was able to test out the Graco TurboBooster Stretch free in exchange for my honest review. My 4 year old son graduated from his convertible car seat, which saddened me because he is so young, but he is quite large both in height and weight, so I was quite happy to try this booster seat. We used it with the high back booster and I was quite happy with how adjustable everything was. My son enjoyed riding with it and was comfortable with just the seatbelt. The seat allowed it to be in a safe place across his chest without causing discomfort to him. He is not allowed to unbuckle himself, but would be able to with ease, If needed. This seat holds up to the normal high standards of the Graco name and I would highly recommend it to all!

I was looking for a second booster for my 6 year old to make pick up and drop off easier for my husband and I, when I was lucky enough to receive this booster seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have used Graco before and loved the seats so I was excited to give this a try. When looking for a booster, high back is the way to go in terms of safety and I love that when she's old enough we can transition to a regular booster. Right out of the box set up was a breeze, it came in 3 parts. The base, back part, and sliding head rest. All 3 came together easily. Even if if I hadn't read the instructions I think I could have gotten it together easily. I have a smaller back seat area so putting in any car seat can be a challenge, so this wasn't more or less difficult in that sense from any other seat. One thing is that to tighten the seat in to place it requires you to pull two separate strings, I feel like this could have been streamlined to one string. Once installed my daughter was easily able to get in and out of it. It was easy to adjust to her height. She loved the cup holder and hideaway storage features. She uses the storage as a "car seat" for her stuffed animal. The booster itself could be a bit more padded for comfort. She hasn't complained about being uncomfortable but I know a cushy seat would be a bit better. The two sides by the rest are vented which serve nicely to keep her cool in the hot summer heat. I also love that the cover can be easily removed to wash. I love anything I can toss in the washing machine.
Pros: love high back, can grow with her, ventilation on sides for comfort, cup holder and hideaway storage, washable
Con: need to pull two strings to tighten during install, could be more padded for comfort (this is really what kept it from being 5 stars).

My oldest just grew big enough to use a booster, and I was lucky enough to receive a Graco(R) TurboBooster(R) Stretch from the Stellar Product Testing Panel as her first stand alone booster. Because she's still smaller, I kept the booster as a high back booster, but I really like that I can easily change the height on it and transform it to a backless booster when she's big enough. The seat itself is light weight, and it took me less than a couple minutes to install the first time. We'll be able to move this seat between cars as needed, which is really convenient for us!

My daughter easily got herself into the seat and could buckle the belt by herself. The belt positions were lined up right so she looked safe and secure in the seat. She said she was very comfortable.

Ultimately this booster is going to make our lives easier. My daughter is able to buckle and unbuckle herself while staying safe. I love that it's a easy seat to install and adjust as she gets bigger or if we have another child riding with us.

I felt so fortunate to receive the Graco TurboBooster Stretch from the Stellar Product Testing Panel because I am a brand loyalist to Graco and love their carseats and boosters. I was super excited to try their new high back booster and it didn't disappoint! When I first bought a carseat I had my husband assemble and install it but that wasn't necessary with the Graco TurboBooster Stretch because it was so easy for me to put together and instal myself because it is lightweight. I like how I trust its safety and my kid's favorite feature is the cupholder because it makes her feel like a big girl. My daughter also loves how comfortable it is! There are attachments on either side so you can use the seat belt on both side of the vehicle which gives great flexibility for installation and the seatbelt is so easy for my daughter to use. I love the Graco fabric that matches my car and also is very easy to clean. I also love how you can adjust both the backrest and headrest so that it will adjust as my child grows which is helpful because I have tall children! I know I will use this booster for many years because it can also adjust to a backless booster. Hurray!

Having an easily adjustable headrest is helpful and the large side wings. It is also nice that the extension is covered when extended. I much prefer high back boosters but this one has longevity as the back comes off it goes all the way up to 110lbs, so it will be useful as well down the road.

I really like that the booster has LATCH connectivity. Keeps it in place without having to buckle it in even without a child in it.

The air flow mesh works for my kiddo who runs super warm .

The cup holder is sturdy and the "secret" tray is a fun feature for the kiddo.

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for enabling me to test out this booster.

My family received the Graco TurboBooster Stretch through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Both my son and I have been very pleased with his new car seat!

Car seats are a hot topic in my house. Designed for safety, they often compromise on user-friendly features and the installation can bring a grown woman to tears. Not so with the Graco TurboBooster Stretch! I was so pleased to open the box and find an uncomplicated, well-made seat with concise instructions which was completely assembled and ready for install. This seat is so simple to use that it took less than five minutes to figure out the adjustment features and get it ready for travel. My five-year-old can transfer it between vehicles himself and adjust the backrest and headrest to suit his preference. It earned the approval of his grandparents, who have generally avoided having anything to do with car seats. My son appreciates that it's "very comfortable" and that the cup holder fits his water bottles. He likes the soft fabric and the snack compartment is a hit.

The headrest is well-designed and my son's head no longer bounces around when he falls asleep while riding. The adjustable back accommodates a wide range of heights, so I'm confident that we'll be able to continue using the seat as my son grows. The fabric and plastic are easily washable after inevitable spills and accidents. I'm very pleased with the Graco TurboBooster Stretch, and can highly recommend it!

I am very impressed with the Graco TurboBooster Stretch. My 5 year old who is 48 lbs and 46 inches tall fits perfectly. It is very lightweight and easy to install. The easily adjustable height headrest makes finding the perfect fit so easy. After I initially threaded the seatbelt through the top of the backrest he is able to buckle and unbuckle with no issue. I really liked the side airflow channels and do think it helps keep the seat cool when the temperatures are hot. The smaller footprint of the seat allows for extra room in the backseat of our car if we need to use the middle seat. I would say my son's favorite part of the seat (besides being free of the 5-point harness) is the side sliding hideaway storage compartment for all his treasures! I received this booster seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

The Graco Turbo Booster Stretch Booster Seat is a great high back and backless booster seat (I love that it converts to both!). It was very easy to assemble and install. It is also so easy to adjust the height! My son loves being able to finally use a seatbelt to buckle himself in. He was very comfortable in his new booster during our recent 3 hour road trip. He was very excited about the cup holder and compartment. For now we are using the booster with the back, but I love that we have the option to use it as a backless booster as well. As a parent, I appreciate the ease of assembly and installation as well as the easily removable seat cover (makes washing the cover painless!). This is an awesome booster seat! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this seat in exchange for my review.

First thing I noticed about this Graco Turbobooster Stretch was how easy it was to piece together. In a snap I had this ready to go test in my car. Secondly, it was super lightweight! I was able to carry with one hand with no effort or struggle. Third, look at this design! Simplicity at best! The sleek cup holder makes it easy to clean out and the size holds most bottles and cups. To my surprise I saw a tray pop out and was instantly thrilled! A awesome spot for those random items your kids find. Best part they can close it up to hide their treasures. The fabric was soft and comfy, easy to wipe off. If all else fails, the covers are machine washable. Adjustable headrest, lower anchors and belt positioning clip, is all tools to provide the most secure use. The option to go backless is just as easy as it was to piece together. Both are optional and what works for you and your child. My child preferred keeping the back attached because of the comfy headrest. It let her rest while keeping her head upright. The side impact guarantee let's me trust Graco has provided the best. I'm happy to see this booster can grow with my child and adapt to her height. Overall, I highly recommend. I recieved this product from Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Thank you, Stellar Product Testing Panel, for letting my little one try this seat! I love the design and the fact that the back adjusts in 2 ways - at the shoulders and the back. My husband would say I am a pro at car seats, but this one took me a few minutes to understand how it works, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. When adjusting, it doesn't go from the shoulders first, instead the back part goes up first, then you adjust from the shoulders. I thought this would be uncomfortable for my little one, but she was fine with it. Installing it in the car was SUPER easy and she was excited that she could easily buckle the seat belt without any issues. Overall this is a user friendly seat - I was probably trying to make it more complicated than it was. Love the dedicated snack tray and separate cup holder. Just for fun, we tried it backless with my older son - he said that is was comfy and asked if he could steal this one from his sister - I say that is a win on both positions!

Around the time that my son turned 5 I knew it was time to start looking into a booster seat for him. I needed him to have the independence of getting himself in and out of his seat in the car but still feel comfortable for him and peace of mind for me. When I got the Graco Turbo Boosterstretch I was pleasantly surprised right away. My son immediately wanted to sit in the seat and loved how comfortable it was. I noticed it has great cushioning for safety that will also be very comfortable for long drives. We often take road trips that range from 4-9 hours and he will usually fall asleep in the car. Well this seat makes it so he can still fall asleep as well as stay safe for the whole drive. He is pretty tall for his age and for every kid it is so different so it was great to have the option of adjusting the headrest and the backrest separately. I can cater it exactly to how my son likes it, and how I know he will be safe no matter what. With this seat my son can now easily buckle his own seatbelt and the loop belt guide keeps the seat belt in the right spot for his height no matter what. Which is making my life so much easier. On most car rides my son likes to bring snacks or little toys and keep them in a "special spot". I love how the Turbo Boosterstretch gives him a place to put his water bottle AND snacks or little toys. This little compartment is his favorite feature to hide all his goodies but also keep them organized so the car isn't getting too messy. I'm so happy with this booster seat. It has given me peace of mind and made my son enjoy car rides a little more. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this booster seat.

First I would like to thank Stellar Product Panel for the opportunity to test and evaluate this booster car seat. I put it in my primary car that I use everyday. I used this booster seat for my 6 year old daughter that is 60 lbs and 44 inches tall. The bottom of the booster seat was a perfect fit for her and it was a nice touch only having to use one handle to adjust the back and sides of the back of the booster seat. The extra cup holder was really nice and could hold a large water bottle without an issue. The actual beefiness of the car seat was lackluster. It wasn't nearly as supportive and padded as my current booster seat.

I received the Graco Turbobooster Carseat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It's a very lightweight car seat and very easy to assemble. This will most likely be my go to car seat to travel since it's so lightweight. My son is not the height / weight where I feel comfortable having him in the backless mode so we had It in the highback mode which is great since it adjusted to fit his height. It was very easy for him to put his own seatbelt on and latch it to the open loops. The fabric was soft. I really like the secret hideaway storage. My son loves to stuff things everywhere in his car seat so this hideway is perfect spot to store and close so it does not take up space and fall out. Overall, great carseat. Light weight and easy to assemble.

I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I automatically loved this car seat during the assembly. There were 3 pieces total (4 if you count the cupholder) and they were extremely easy to snap together and took less than 5 mins total. My son still uses the high back mode and even with all the parts, my husband and I were both impressed with how lightweight it is. While my son has only used it a few times, he said it is very comfortable. I'm looking forward to continue using it and to see how it wears compared to our other seats.

I was given this booster seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time. My husband just bought a new truck and we were worried about our current car seats fitting in the back seat with enough leg room for our 7 year old. The TurboBooster Stretch, which we are currently using in highback mode, is slim enough to fit easily in the back seat of the truck but also robust enough to feel safe and keep her sitting upright. I love that it still has the anchors to keep it in place (but easy to install and remove) and that the cupholder is removable in case you're trying to fit 3 carseats in a row. The little storage compartment underneath is also nice, but if I'm being honest, I worry that one day I'll find old chicken nuggets or something in there. I guess it's better than on the floor in plain view! Overall this is a great booster seat and since it converts to backless as well, I'm hopeful that it will last my daughter until the end of her car seat years.

As our six-year old daughter ages out of her bulky convertible seat, we loved putting her into the Graco TurboBooster Stretch seat. Getting this from the Stellar Product Testing Panel was perfect timing - we needed something for both cars in the suburbs and moving her other bulky seat back and forth was back-breaking work. This seat unclips rather easily and is very light weight.
As she continues to grow, we know we will be able to easily adjust the head and back rest for her. In the meantime, she can buckle herself in (versus other models with a five-point harness), allowing us to drop her off seamlessly at school (whenever that happens again).
As you can see in the picture, it has a well-placed cupholder and a sleak design that doesn't take up too much space in our back seat (in case an aunt wants to squeeze in between our girls). I'll have to get a second when the 3-year old is big enough!

My 5-year old is one of those 99th percentile kids that has always made car seat shopping a stressful experience. We had already gone through three car seats for him once he transitioned to front-facing because he kept outgrowing the height and weight limit, and that was even with getting booster car seats with the maximum height-weight range. Before he was developmentally ready, we had to transition him out of the 5-point harness last year into a seatbelt because he had gotten too big and the crotch buckle, even at its maximum position, was getting too tight. I remember thinking, 'I can't be the only parent going through this! Why is it so hard to find a car seat for bigger young kids?' Enter the Graco TurboBooster Stretch, which I received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. On first impression, it's simpler with far less bells and whistles than previous versions of car seats we've owned, but in this instance, simpler is better. Far better. For now, we are using the seat with the highback attachment, but it's nice to know that it's just a simple removal once our son is ready to move up to the backless booster mode. The entire seat itself is fairly light without unnecessary bulk - but still solidly built - making it a breeze to install and remove if necessary to put into another car. It's certainly wider and more spacious than previous booster seats, which is a huge plus for larger kids, and it's very simple to adjust the height of the back and headrest to fit your child once they're in it. My favorite feature is that it's slightly lower than the highback boosters we've used in the past. This may not seem like a big deal if your kids already know how to independently buckle themselves in and out of their seatbelt, but for my son, sitting lower has made all the difference in his ability to reach the seatbelt buckle. He is now able to climb in and buckle himself in without needing me to stretch across the backseat to help him reach it - my back thanks me for it! However, if you ask my son what his favorite feature is, it's the 'secret compartment,' as he likes to call it, that comes with the seat. There's an attachable cupholder on the right, and another large storage compartment on the left that slides open. He's put everything from toys and chicken nuggets in it when we're on the road and enjoys opening it to check and make sure that his little toys and snacks that he stores are still safely secured in there. That may not be as big of a deal for some kids or parents, but my son really seems to enjoy this feature. We liked this car seat much more than we initially thought we would and we'll be sticking with this one for a long time! This answers the call of all those parents like me who had been looking for the perfect booster car seat that provides protection, support, and comfort for their still-young-but-bigger kids!

I received the Graco Turboboost Stretch from the Stellar Product Panel for review. Right out of the box I noticed the material is really nice. It has a luxury car feel to the sleek design. I love that it's not an eyesore in my back seat. It was really easy to adjust the back and headrest for my super tall 5 year old. It's narrow and fits well next to another toddler seat, the slimness of the seat design makes it super easy for her to buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt herself. The seat is so light that moving it from one car to another is much easier than other seats. She and I loved this seat the only minor inconvenience is the lack of padding in the headrest. Overall, we'd definitely recommend this seat to our friends and family.

Comfortable and sturdy. Why doesn't the back click into the base, forming a solid L shape that can't be bent?
