| Sunshine Kids Monterey Booster Seat The first high back booster seat designed to truly fit a growing child, the Sunshine Kids Monterey is the last car seat you'll ever have to buy. Growing with your child For children up to 120 lbs, the Monterey is equipped with deep, reinforced sides. Energy-absorbing EPS foam provides the safety of total side-impact protection from hips to shoulders to head. A dial on the back adjusts the width of the expandable seatback to fit a child's shoulders from 14 to 20 in. wide. The 12-position headrest adjusts up to 7 inches in height with one hand for an easy, precise fit. The seat bottom has extra length for leg support and features thick padding, tapered sides, and an EPE foam cushion insert for total comfort. As a fixed position booster, the integrated LATCH connector and one-pull front adjuster allow for a safe and secure installation in seconds. Dual cup holders are extra-deep and angled to keep drinks upright. Monterey packs flat for convenience when moving from car to car. The seat and back separate for use as a backless booster! |

 Excellent booster seat |

| The Monterey Booster seat is great. The side impact support for the body and head provide excellent safety. Some of the wings on seats intruded into my child's face to such an extent that he refused to sit in the seat. Not true with this seat. The seat is comfortable. The seatbelt guides are one of the tallest made for full back boosters, allowing for longer use. The cup holders are positioned nicely and support cups well. The adjustable width has not be used yet, but will no doubt come in handy as my son gets bigger. The seat is attractive. The best part is that it latches into your car. What a difference this makes. The seat stays put when your child isn't sitting in it preventing it from becoming a projectile during a sudden stop or crash. As you child moves around while sitting in the seat, it will stay secure and in place. The only thing I don't love is that arm rests are just a little low for really easy access for the seatbelt (but putting on the seat belt is not tough) and a little short for the best comfort. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this seat or my purchase. |

| This seat is very soft and comfortable for my 5 year old. He likes the fact that he can lean against the sides of the head rest to sleep. He actually chose this seat himself after I narrowed it down to a few. The seat seems very sturdy and well made. I also like the "grippy" rubber bottom. Even if you don't use the latch (which I love) it doesn't slide around. It's a great seat and I highly recommend it. |
Completely satisfied

| I studied safety issues obsessively before purchasing this car seat. Plus, since we're now on seat #6 (various kids), convenience and comfort have become more important issues for us. I have to say this seat was a breeze to install in our car, though we had to take of the headrest to get it to sit properly (Mazda5). My 6yo daughter likes it and says it's more comfortable than her other seat (Graco Turbo-something), and I can tell it fits her well. I like that the belt easily threads thru a shoulder clasp to keep it at the right level, and she can buckle herself without a problem. Compared to the Britax we got for the other seat, the Monterrey was FAR, FAR, FAR easier to install, and was about 2/3 of the price, but is a little less-well padded (though much better than the Graco-Turbo-something we also have). I like both the Britax and the Monterrey and would purchase a Monterrey again without hesitation. |

| I purchased the Sunshine Booster Seat in Pink for my 4 year old daughter. The fit is wonderful and easily installed in my Toyota Camry. I have to buckle the seat belt because she can not reach, but it lets me do one thing in the days of "I will do it myself." The seat belt guide works beautifully and keeps it centered across her shoulder and chest. It does not rub her neck. She likes the head rest for sleep and has not complained that she can not see. |
Great Booster w/LATCH

| I chose this booster because I really wanted seats with LATCH. I don't know if it is any safer when the kids are buckled in, but it is definitely safer when the seats are empty. The LATCH is a little tricky, but I don't plan on moving them around much and I love everything else about these seats. Here are quotes from my kids: "I love them!", "Easy to buckle", "I like the cup holders" |
Extra safety and comfort

| We recently moved my 5 year old daughter to the third row of our mini van and I wanted a booster with some extra protection, and also some more comfort than a simple Graco booster. She loves it - I love it. She looks like the queen bee of the car. We are going to move my 3 year old son into a booster soon, and we will buy another one of these. My kids don't want the big kid booster without the back, but I know some kids want to be "big kids". This is clearly not like the big kid booster , but they love it because it is so much more comfortable. |
FINALLY!!! A CAR SEAT THAT IS PERFECT!!

| I purchased this car / booster seat for my 5 year old son. All the others we tried just did not do the trick. He was leaning out to the side or half his body was bobbing over when he fell asleep. This one is very well made. Strong sides to hold him in if he falls asleep, his head does not bob, the sides are thick enough with padding to hold his head even in the upright position. The cushions are firm yet soft and not sweaty. He told me himself "it is VERY comfortable", I love it! The cups are deep and swing in and out easily enough. The sides are reinforced and made strong and the back is a very solid piece as well, it feels very strong and safe. Also the seat reclines so he can nap if he wants to. The clip latch system is great b/c the seat does not move all over the place as in the other seats. The buckle latch system is not as safe as the clip one. I used to buckle my son in the other seat but if i sat in back of him I would hold onto the seat in case of accident, i thought he would go flying. Not with this seat, once you get it in it is very secure and worth the effort! GREAT SEAT! You can't go wrong! I cannot say enough about it. |
Great Booster!

| This carseat is perfect for my son. I love that is so adjustable. It's so easy to anchor down with the strap in the front. If he falls alseep it holds him snugly. It's worth the money. |

| Great seat and is made with metal supports not just plastic like most others. Head support is great for my son who falls asleep in the car. Easy to install and remove. |
