Pros: Optional Toddler Padding, 65 Lb. Harness Weight Limit, Can Get It Really Tight
Cons: A Bit Big, Too Tall For Bench Seats
The Bottom Line: Definitely a good buy, especially for those wanting to keep children in a harness for as long as possible.

| kellz625's Full Review: Cosco Juvenile Apex 65 Booster Car Seat - 22531 |
We just purchased this seat because our Britax Roundabout was getting too small for our 19 month old son. His head was right at the top and he just seemed squished in it.
He wanted to sit in it right away, and he loved how big and comfy it was. The harness is really easy to adjust and buckle. The chest clip could use to be a bit stronger feeling though.
When I installed it in our car, it took me about 30 minutes to get it tight, but the seat DOES NOT MOVE. I have long been a fan of the mighty tite, but felt I wanted to try the LATCH this time and it's a bit of a struggle, but this seat does not move one inch in my Hyundai Accent. Speaking of my Hyundai, I was a bit worried this seat would be too big, but really it's a nice size, the lack of a base makes it sit right ON the auto seat and it fits really well.
The seat is lightweight, but since it's so tall, it's not one that would be easy to move from car to car all the time. It's kind of awkward to carry.
Buckling him in is pretty easy, you don't have the use the bottom clips like a puzzle piece (which I've never had a problem with, but my husband did). The chest clip is also very easy to buckle together.
The one thing that disappointed me is the cup holder. My son can't reach his cup from that holder, it's very low and I guess is geared towards older kids with longer arms.
All in all, I am very happy with this seat, it will last us until he is ready to be out of a car seat all together.
