Reflux and this booster are a BAD MIX!

by pantazis5 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 29 '00
Pros: inexpensive, grows with the child
Cons: not good for children with car sickness, or reflux disease. Hard to clean.
This booster seat was given to us by a friend to try. We were looking for a booster for our son. He was underweight and not ready to sit in a seat belt, but was too big for his baby car seat and so we went in search of a booster that would work for...

This Cosco has got to GO!!!

by My3LilMen Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 25 '00
Pros: The only pro would be the ability to open the seat from either the right or left side.
Cons: Child can release seat belt alone without any help, shield is too high for safety for a young child regardless if he/she meets the weight requirement.
My husband and I bought this booster car seat for our almost 2 year old almost two months ago. He met the weight standard and he was starting to squeeze his arms out of the straps of his car seat no matter how much you tightened them. We knew it was...

Is this car seat safe?

by pweisenberg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 29 '00
Pros: easy to use, clean and transport
Cons: maybe dangerous in lap belt position only
Last month, my soon to be 3 year old son started getting too big for his car seat. His head was above the back of the seat and when I buckled the seat he was in obvious discomfort. Since he is around 40 lbs., it was time to upgrade him to a "big...

There is no reason to buy this seat

by tlbwriter Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 21 '01
Pros: None
Cons: Unsafe for children 30-40 lbs, includes a big chunk of useless plastic for larger kids
There really is no good reason for anyone to purchase the Grand Explorer. And there are some pretty good reasons to avoid it.

The Grand Explorer is a “shield booster” that can be used two different ways. For children who weigh...

Don't Be Fooled By The Price - This Is Not The Perfect Booster

by JulAnn1217 , May 11 '01
Pros: Lightweight, compact and inexpensive
Cons: Not comfortable to sit in, not secure, not safe
Like most parents, I eagerly await the day my three-year-old son will not have to be strapped into a child safety seat. Not only does this occurrence designate our children as “big kids” it’s a whole lot easier to make that quick trip to the bank...

Grand Explorer with new locking clip

by AnnieSlif , Oct 25 '00
Pros: Affordable. Easy to clean. Lightweight - easy to move to different seats and cars.
Cons: It doesn't have the 5 point harness for 30-40 pound children that is available in other booster seats.
I needed an extra booster seat for my 4 year old son. Budget was a strong consideration this time, so I bought the Cosco Grand Explorer Booster Seat. And with the new locking clip for safety, this is a good affordable booster.

Want A Booster? Think BIG!

by LRGuis Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 16 '01
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Sways, slides forward, child uncomfortable
Here's the first booster I purchased. I had much to learn! I was lured in by the small price tag, a reliable brand name, and the thoughts of my son enjoying a bit more freedom while riding in the back seat. It came home with us, Ethan riding along...

Cosco Over Looks Serious Safety Issues With This Booster!

by young1028 , Mar 21 '01
Pros: Easy to install and remove, my son can buckle and unbuckle himself
Cons: Cushion won't stay in place, saftey issues when used with lap belt only
I was excited upon buying this booster seat. It marked the change from toddlerhood to childhood in a way, and my son really liked the fact that he could buckle it himself. I found over time that there a few things I liked about the carseat, and a few...

Good transition to regular seat belt

by HawgWyld Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 25 '00
Pros: Good visibility for child; easy to use; safe, as far as I can tell
Cons: No neck support; easy for child to unbuckle seat belt that's restraining seat
My Wife and I got one of these things for our three-year-old boy after we determined he was too large for his car seat. I realize that many claim that a child needs some type of booster seat or child seat until he's around five-years-old, so we...

A waste of money

by holly1972 , Nov 11 '00
Pros: inexpensive
Cons: can be dangerous, poorly made
I bought this booster seat because my 5 year old had a real problem staying buckled up in the car. Every time our car stopped, whether it be at the stoplight, for people crossing the street, or arriving at our destination, Caleb was unbuckled and up in...

Not Safe At All!

by WGoodson , Mar 25 '00
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Not safe, Does not last
I would beg to anyone about to purchase this booster seat, PLEASE DON'T! I purchased this booster when I thought my daughter was too old for her forward facing carseat, she was 3.5 years old.

At first, it seemed like it was working great.It...

Cheap piece of plastic!

by winewinn , Aug 25 '00
Pros: Kids are able to easily get in & out
Cons: Fabric unsnaps from the seat
Why did I buy this booster seat? Well, both of my kids no longer fit well in their regular car seats, so it was time to go shopping for two booster seats. I also wanted something they could get into easily by themselves. (Makes it much easier when Mom...

Nothing grand about it...

by jmmatlock , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Cheap (but you get what you pay for, don't you)
Cons: Not the safest option
I wish I could sit down and talk to every person who even considers buying this booster. I'd tell them the stories of the kids who died when they were thrown from them in accidents. I'd demonstrate how the shield could cause injuries. I'd show how...

by bjcuevas , Nov 02 '00
Pros: Nothing
Cons: It does not fit in all cars safely
I purchased the Cosco Grand Explorer at Target for a really good price 19.99 on sale. I thought what a bargain! My grandson was 35 pounds and I thought he would have more visibility with this seat. It was the worst purchase I have ever made, we used...

DANGER! DANGER!

by Dosite1 , Feb 09 '00
Pros: Easy to use? Affordable.
Cons: Risky to use, flimsy.
This was a hand-me-down, and after using it for a while, we've decided to put it out of our misery. I wish that it did what it is supposed to do, and did it well. I have read of children being thrown from these in accidents, and I can see how it might...
