| coolmommy07's Full Review: Cosco Juvenile Apex 65 Booster Car Seat - 22531 |
I bought this for my 3 year old and Im so happy this seat can keep him harnessed for a long time. He is using the third slots so he needs one more to go which can be years :). Even his six year old sister fits on the top harness . This is a great seat that will keep my children harnessed longer than most seats with a 5 point harness. Im so happy to have found this seat. This is way cheaper than the Regent or other seats. I like that this seats also makes a great booster seat after the child outgrows the harness.
You must have adjustable head rest though. This is a great seat. I definitely recommend this seat to anyone that wants to keep their child harnessed longer than 40 pounds or past the 3 years of age. I am definitely going to use it for as long as i can so definitely the 6 years expiration of the car seat from the Date of manufacture.
You can use this seat harnessed up to 65 pounds. After the child outgrows the harness you can use this seat as a booster. I installed the seat myself it wasn't too hard to install although the part to put the seatbelt through was a bit small and well since i have small thin hands it bothered a bit so some people might struggle a bit getting the seatbelt thought the path. I would suggest pulling the seatbelt a long way so that with the length you might not have to stick your hand too much in the seat and then lock it. I was able to get a great solid install. I moved it forward and side to side to get less than 1 inch movement and it installed like a rock with the seatbelt and teethered. The seat also comes with LATCH if your vehicle has it. The seat is wide and has an adjuster in the front to make it tighter or looser. The straps have only twisted a bit but it has been easy to untwist them. To compare the seats tallness it is a bit gigger than the graco turbo booster but that is by using the first three slots , for the last slot (the 4th) you need to click on the knob on back of the seat to unlock it and be able to adjust it up. The seat has 3 positions. when you use the 4th , last slot the seat is very very tall way taller than the graco turbo booster the seat in its tallest position is around 32.5 inches tall or so. The seat is as wide as the Regent. The latest model which is tan comes with epps foam.
The manual was easy to understand.
Love the seat, I am happy to know my child is safer on the road with this seat. My child looks comfy in it and its roomy to give him plenty of room in the seat. The seat even comes with a cup holder so you can have the child put a drink or sippy cup there.
Great great seat. I am sure you will like it. For the money it is a great seat.
