Evenflo Chase Sport Harnessed Booster Car Seat, Jayden 18x18.5x29.5 Inch (Pack of 1)

Needed a car seat for our very active 4-year old great-grandson who is in the lower range of weight & height for his age. I bought this car seat because of the curved head support, full harness and affordable price. I did not feel that a regular booster seat with just a lap/shoulder seat belt provided enough protection, especially for his head in an accident or a even sharp avoidance maneuver. I repositioned the harness straps to the next-to-the-top slot and the lower strap to the outside slot and it fits him perfectly. The seat was placed in the center back seat position and tethered to left, right and back seat anchors plus the center lap/should seat belt to secure it against back of the seat. I placed a thick folded beach towel under bottom and back before anchoring it down to protect my leather upholstery. I feel he is definitely more secure and protected in this car seat, especially with the head support, and it can be used for maybe a year as there is still another slot to move the harness higher as he grows taller. The button on the chest harness holder was difficult to press to release and a little pinchy on my finger at times and is the reason for only four stars. Would definitely recommend this car seat over just a regular booster seat with no protection/support for their head, especially if the child is ever seated on an outside seat near a window.

We travel 4-5 times a year, so we needed a carseat specifically for traveling. This fit the bill for us, but it could use a few enhancements Pros: 1. Very lightweight- easy to lug through an airport, etc. 2. Slim and compact - it will fit nicely really in any rental car, so no need to upgrade. 3. Difficult to unbuckle- This may actually be a con, but for older kids, I like that they cant unbuckle the belt. Cons: 1. Not the easiest to install, so if you are moving it a lot it would be frustrating. 2. I do NOT like how the cupholders are attached separately. I wish they were attached to the base of the product. They can very easily fold off, and make it much more bulky when installed. 3. I find that its not easy to clean. Its doable, but something I wouldnt want to do all the time. 4. It doesnt feel like the most comfortable, so I wouldnt use it for my everyday carseat.

It was as expected and we are satisfied with the product so far

My son is so happy to ride like a big boy in this carseat. Easy install and I was definitely reassured by the safety specs on this unit.

Loved that it’s a slim design. When adding two more car seats to the row to accommodate child friends for a play date this car seat has always been the easiest to get into the row. We have two (one for each car). Have had for three years now and went from 5pt harness to booster with ease. The rethreading of the harness as my son grew was a bit of a pain, but isn’t an every day thing. The cup holders are a bit flimsy. They pop off easily even when screwed in. Have had to rescrew in one on each car seat. Wish it reclined. Is a straight up/down design. That was an adjustment when we first bought as his little head would flop forward. Is easy to remove / install and comes with the LATCH system. We’re looking at replacing with a backless booster now that my son is 7, but only because he’s starting to complain as it looks like ‘it’s for a baby’. So the peer pressure for him is becoming a thing. But we’re in no rush. Overall we have loved. Recommend it and extra bonus is inexpensive.

This works great for my tall 3 year old. It is easy (comparable to our old Graco contender 65) to uninstall and reinstall; both with the latch connectors and seatbelt installation. It can be done in 5 min or less. It also fits very snugly into the car seat of both of our cars. I have been able to install this car seat more snug than any other seat weve used. The seat is slim and takes up only a small amount of room in our small car. My daughter enjoys the color. My only cons with this seat are the buckles and straps. I would prefer the top latch wasnt plastic as sometimes it feels like its going to stick or not pop through all the way. The lower straps easily get twisted, and Ill frequently have to take an extra minute strapping my kid in to fix them properly. The bottom buckle is quite large and is hard to dig out from under my kid as shes still learning to get that out from under and ready for me to buckle.

Compact, safe, and easy to clean. Personally I think this would be best for 4 and older as it sits pretty straight up.

I bought this for my 2year old. The seat is upright and cannot be adjusted. Need to purchase a neck pillow in the event that the child falls asleep. As there is nothing to keep the head in place.

Seems comfortable for my 6 year old in our secondary car, but the seat belt does not stay in the shoulder guide. The cup holders are too wide and shallow, so every cup we put in there wobbles around and/or falls out.

Good baby seat just not alot of seat belt room .
