Evenflo Big Kid AMP backless booster

[postmodernmommy]

Anyone see this seat or have it? I'm trying to figure out how tall it is- it 's on the low side of backless boosters (think backless Turbo booster or Safeguard go or Cosco Ambassador) or on the taller side of backless boosters (think clek Olli or Combi Dakota). I can't tell if it's a complete piece of junk or a decent seat. Any opinions appreciated. Thanks!

I saw it at Target yesterday, but I can't tell you if it's big or small, really. Sorry :).

I like it...saw it in my tech class and it seemed solid. IIHS just raved about how great it fits most kids, so that's a vote of confidence, even though I don't know many people who have it.

I finally bought one today. I didn't measure, but it looks like the seat is taller than the Turbo Booster they have. I can measure the Amp later, if you want.

I picked it because the material looks like it'll stay clean better. I will keep mine in the trunk mostly and will put it in the bag it came in, but figure clean is good.

It also has a lot more room in the belt path than the TB. I don't know if that's good or bad. DS will use it for the first time this afternoon. He's never been in a booster before, so I hope it goes well!

Bumping this up - -Kris, how do you like the booster, now that you've had it for a bit? I am also thinking of getting one . . .

[KrisM]

Well, we've used it twice :). It's only for the rare times that I want DS to ride in the front seat from the bus stop to home. But, he has no problem getting in it and he can buckle himself, too.

Thanks for the update. :)
