I received the Graco TurboBooster TakeAlong to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own.

Did you know that Child Passenger Safety Week is September 15-21 this year?  As a parent, grandparent, aunt, or even just a friend, when you place a child in your vehicle, it’s so important to make sure it’s done correctly.  While every state has different laws on how long children need to be in carseats, making sure to follow carseat guidelines is crucial for maximum protection in a crash.

Did You Know?

Every 32 seconds in 2017, one child under the age of 13 in a passenger vehicle was involved in a crash.  EVERY 32 SECONDS!  Many times, injuries and deaths can be prevented by proper use of car seats, boosters, and seat belts.  So if you have a child who has nearly outgrown their 5 point harness carseat, consider upgrading to a High Back Booster next.

Graco TurboBooster Grow {Review}

Kids grow up so fast!  So while it’s a great idea to start them in a high back booster, the next step after that is a no-back booster.  So instead of purchasing two (or three) different boosters, consider the Graco TurboBooster Grow as it will grow and go along with your child!

This carseat is actually three handy seats in one.  It’s a belt-positioning big kid booster with 3 modes of use for your child from 40-120 lb. The Graco TurboBooster Grow is the only belt-positioning booster designed to grow with your big kid that will transform from a high back booster, to a backless booster, and finally to the RightGuide Portable Seat Belt Trainer.  This seat is SO versatile!  So the TurboBooster Grow can provide safety, easy and quickly as you head out on the road.

Here’s a side-by-side photo of the Backless Booster and Right-Guide Portable Seat Belt Trainer so you can see the difference.

And of course, with the kiddos in them.  (BELOW PHOTO:  Almost 9 year old in the Right Guide Portable Seat Belt Trainer and 7 year old in Backless Booster.)

Our Final Thoughts On The Graco TurboBooster Grow

One thing I haven’t noted yet is the price.  For just $129 retail price, you can own the Graco TurboBooster Grow.  Taking into account all the features that this seat delivers as well as the fact that it’s a 2-in-1, I think the price is quite reasonable.

Our kids love how comfortable the booster is as well as how easy it is to buckle and unbuckle the seatbelt while in it.  As far as carseats go, this booster is fairly lightweight so I don’t mind having to switch it from our van to our truck.

Overall, the Graco TurboBooster Grow is a great booster seat and a great choice to ring in the upcoming Car Seat Safety Week!

I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.
