Okay, so I recently got my hands on the Store ‘n Go Sport Booster Car Seat, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. I needed a new booster for my kiddo, who’s, you know, growing like a weed, and I was looking for something,safe and easy going.
Getting Started
First off, unboxing this thing was pretty straightforward. Everything was packed in there nice and snug, no missing parts, which is always a win, right? Pulled everything out, checked the manual—you know, the usual drill. I’m not gonna lie, I usually just wing it with these things, but I figured with a car seat, I should probably at least glance at the instructions.
The Installation Process
So, the installation. This is where things got a little…interesting. I started by trying to figure out the LATCH system. I mean, it’s supposed to be simple, right? Click, click, done. But I struggled a bit to get those connectors to attach to my car’s anchors. After a bit of wiggling and maybe a few choice words, I finally got them secured. Important: Double, triple-check those connections! You want that seat rock solid.
Next up was adjusting the seat to fit my kid. The Store ‘n Go has this height-adjustable headrest and backrest, which is pretty cool. You just squeeze a handle and move it up or down. It took a few tries to get it just right, so his head was properly supported and the seatbelt was hitting at the right spot on his shoulder.
Features and Daily Use
One of the main reasons I chose this booster was the storage. It has these built-in compartments on the sides, perfect for stashing snacks, toys, you name it. My kid loves having his stuff within reach, and I love not having everything rolling around on the floor of the car. Huge plus!
- Pull out cup holder that does the job.
- Side impact protection for a little safety.
- It is lightweight I can move between cars.
We’ve been using the seat for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m pretty happy with it. It feels sturdy, my kid says it’s comfortable, and the storage is a lifesaver. Cleanup is also easy – just wipe it down with a damp cloth.
Final Thoughts
Would I recommend the Store ‘n Go Sport Booster? Yeah, I think I would. It’s not perfect—that initial installation was a bit of a pain—but once you get past that, it’s a solid, practical booster seat. Just make sure you really get those LATCH connectors secured, and you’re good to go!
