My son is now too tall for the top slots of the harness, so I took out the harness in order to use it as the booster (maximum weight with the harness is 40 lbs and my son is not yet at that weight; he is just too tall). After using the booster without the harness for just one day, I decided to buy a Britax Regent in order to keep him in the 5 point harness longer. My son almost slid under the seat belt in the CarGo (even with a coat on) and kept putting the shoulder belt under his arms. The 3 star rating is because I cannot comment on how well it would be as a booster -- I just wanted to keep my son in a harness longer. from Elitecarseats.com As much as I will be taking my daughter out and putting her in the car seat it just isn't worth it. We have ordered a different car seat and we are spending a little more money. Hopefully it will be as easy as our Graco infant safe seat. We loved that thing until she got too big. from Walmart.com I have two other Graco seats for my older kids and since my baby is turning one, I went looking for the same seat they have, but found it was discontinued. I decided that this seat was the most similar, and ordered it. from Walmart.com The straps twist way to easily and it's very difficult to loosen and then tighten them. The big foam pad in the back gets pushed down by the seat belt or by general use. We've owned a Graco before and we also own a Britax marathon. We loved those seats. from Target.com It is easy for me to open but a 2 year old can't open it. We bought this seat because it seemed comfortable, could also be used as a booster seat and was cheaper than buying another Britax. It is also nearly impossible to tighten the harness straps on the Graco seat with a winter coat on. Britax does a better job with that too. from Amazon.com This item was satisfactory and I wanted to stick to this brand since I have had good luck with it in the past. [...] The push button to loosen the straps on this seat is better than the old "tether" version on our previous Graco car seat (it is just more comfortable, quicker, and less fumbling). The colors are cute too, if that matters. from Amazon.com I am reviewing this car seat which I have owned for over a year. I checked the Graco website to make sure this is the equivalent to mine as my colors are slightly different, but it is and has the same basic functions (seat belt guides on side and gracopedic padding). My model is also a "Cargo", but as the seat cover is slightly different I will not comment on the aesthetics of the seat cover here. from Amazon.com We LOVE this carseat! Not only does my son seem comfortable in it, it is very easy to put him in and get him out of. This was our first Graco carseat, but I am sure it won't be our last... from Amazon.com I've had the Graco Cargo Platinum for about 2 years now - got it for my son when he was about 2-1/2. Pluses: from Amazon.com I purchased 2 of this style seat in 2004 and am so pleased with the quality and durability, I had to write a review. Back in 2004, I researched this seat in consumer reports and it received a great rating back then. I am glad to see that Graco is continuing to offer this seat now. You won't be dissapointed. from Amazon.com
