Buyer Critiques

We received our Snowberry Oobr a couple days ago, and the seat is Extremely impressive.
With the rigid LATCH system it feels as secure and solid as the Britax Regent we previously had our virtually 7yo harnessed in no sliding about as my kid tries to get in it, it doesn't budge. It also makes it an utter breeze to install or get rid of - it is literally a five second job. Plus, the rigid LATCH permits this booster to 'recline' which could possibly come in handy for long road trips.
The seat itself is heavier than the Graco TurboBooster we had occasionally utilized up to this point, but it is SO a lot more substantial feeling that it just about tends to make the TurboBooster really feel like a 'toy' in comparison. It genuinely feels like even more than just a 'booster' to position my youngster so that the seatbelt can shield her in a crash (although it does that also), but rather that the seat itself will supply protection like her harnessed seats up to this point. Plus, the Oobr doesn't fall apart when carried by the back like the TurboBooster continually does.
The headrest adjusts just like, and feels just like, those on my vehicle. Once more not flimsy plastic that feels like it could possibly break just being adjusted this feels like something that could essentially stand up to a crash. Plus, the sidewings are deep adequate to 'cradle' my daugher's head and appear like they would present protection in a crash, but do not seem to bother her or impede her view, etc.
The fabric is made to withstand spills, and so on, although we have not had any of those however to test it out. I can say that it feels way more like upholstery than just a 'fabric' cover.
Lastly there is a booster that I really feel comfortable moving my daughter to (who, yes, has been harnessed far longer than lots of other people even although she is rather tall for her age). I'd give the seat nicely over 5 stars, but I do advocate shopping around for pricing as there appears to be some variance out there.
Edit to add 11/20/09: Like the other reviewer observed, we will most likely be using this seat for 3 years (although my daughter is already about to turn 7), even although she will be allowed by law to ride w/o a booster in just more than a year. Considering the fact that automotive engineers design seatbelts for those 4'9" and taller, it will likely be at least 9-10yo prior to my tall-for-her-age daugther meets the height for which seatbelts had been created to be made use of safely. Yes, that implies she will be making use of this booster after we are legally obligated to do so. But, we've usually gone by her safety over the minimums established by law (ie. she rear-faced longer than the minimum needed by law, and was in a 5pt harness extended following she met the legal minimum to move to a booster). Considering we will get this long use out of it (and then most likely get one other 3 years use with her small sister, ahead of the seat expires), we also feel it was worth the expense.
Edit to add 12/23/09: Just a rapid update considering the fact that we just took it on our very first lengthy (eight+ hr) trip - the slight recline and the deep head wings made it incredibly easy for my 50" tall almost 7yo to nap in the auto! She was able to sleep with no her head flopping about, and whilst remaining upright adequate for the seatbelt to remain adequately positioned. Also worth noting: the Insurance Institute for Highway Security just named the Clek Oobr as 1 of their "greatest picks" in highback boosters for suitable positioning (out of 60 seats evaluated).

Was seeking for the next-step seat to replace the Britax Roundabout. Loved the Roundabout Britax solutions so I went looking by way of their lineup but was unhappy with the installation of the Frontier and all the mixed critiques it had received. The Clek Oobr is just what I was looking for - the highest security rating achievable with a straightforward installation that will most likely be the final seat we require (as it converts to a backless booster for children up to 57" and 100 lbs). This seat is unquestionably the most sturdy booster I have looked at and makes the Graco booster (leftover from my first kid) feel like a toy. The reclining function is a bonus for a booster seat, but we have yet to use this feature for snoozing but as most of our automobile trips are below 15 min. You do use the recline to install the seat when working with the ridged latch. I had never seen a ridged latch prior to this seat and it was a single of the reasons I was unsure about ordering it. For all of you out there like me, I'll do my perfect to describe it. Rather of the latch hooks hanging on the end of an adjustable belt that loops via the back of the seat (as in the case of the Roundabout), the "ridged latch" hooks are built into the base of the seat. To install this seat, you pull the recline manage and the base of the seat towards you. This action extends the two latch "arms" from the back of the seat, which you then line up with your seat latch eyes (not positive if thats the ideal term?) and click into location. You can then adjust the seat to your preferred recline. It is quite quick and (I feel) even a lot more secure than the latches on the adjustable belt considering that there is never ever any "slack" to be concerned about. We utilized this seat not too long ago in a car without the latch process for the initially time and even though it is not as clearly not as stationary as when it is utilised with latch, I felt it fit considerably far more snug than the other boosters I have seasoned. At 35 lbs and 39" my child is at the quite bottom of what is proposed for this seat, but the seat does a best job of keeping the belts in the appropriate position even on her compact frame. Only had the seat a month, but the fabric appears to be durable so I am optimistic - only time will tell. Amazon had the very best value I could find, and even though it is not low-cost I feel the cost is justified by the good quality of the seat and the length of time we will be utilizing it. Surely would suggest to other individuals. As normally, swift shipping from Amazon!
