SantaFe Booster SeatAt a Glance:

• Rating: For children weighing 30 to 120 pounds

The SantaFe features energy-absorbing AirTek foam and a LATCH attachment for superior safety and security. Built for Child Safety and Parental ConvenienceThe stylish SantaFe Booster Seat offers children both comfort and safety as they transition from car seats to using regular seatbelts. The booster's curved design keeps the lower belt securely over your child's lap, and its backless profile makes your little one feel like a grown up.
The SantaFe is equipped with a LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tether for Children) attachment to provide an additional layer of safety. And to keep parents happy, rubber pads on the seat bottom keep the booster firmly in place while also protecting your car's upholstery. Built to fit children weighing up to 120 pounds, the SantaFe has a slim design that makes for easy storage and maneuverability.
AirTek Foam and Innovative Shape for Safety and ComfortFor protection against potentially dangerous bumps and lurches, the SantaFe Booster Seat features energy-absorbing AirTek foam. This foam also promotes optimum airflow around the body, so your child can ride in total comfort. Additionally, the seat has an angled bottom to prevent your child from sliding under the lap belt, as well as a generous depth to support your child's legs at every stage of development.
LATCH Attachment for Keeping Child Secure in SeatThis booster is easily installed in a matter of minutes using your vehicle's lower anchors. To ensure your child's safety, a sturdy LATCH attachment prevents the seat from moving while the car is in motion. Not only does this LATCH feature keep your child sitting in the correct pre-crash position and improve crash performance, but it also keeps the seat from being a loose projectile in your vehicle in the event of an accident.
Cup Holders for On-the-Go Snack TimeWith the SantaFe, your child doesn't have to wait until you get home to enjoy a favorite treat. Each of the two cup holders on either side of the seat is built with a deep curve to hold everything from snack cups to sports bottles and juice boxes. As an added bonus, each cup holder retracts into the body of the seat when not in use.

Customer Reviews

If you are reading this you are probably in the market for a backless booster. You want one with LATCH, if your vehicle can make use of that feature, so that the seat is securely attached to the car even when it's not occupied. Otherwise, with a booster that does not have LATCH, you will need to fasten the seat belt around the seat when it's not occupied so that it can't become a flying object in a vehicle crash. Boosters with LATCH are the greatest thing since sliced bread! Since new state laws require kids to be boostered longer and longer and parents drop kids off in car pool lines and don't want to have to get out and go buckle their empty boosters in, LATCH is a necessity for many.
I purchased both the Sunshine Kids Santa Fe Booster and the Clek Olli booster, which are the only two backless boosters with LATCH I could find. I'm not counting high-back boosters with removable backs that have LATCH. I strictly needed a backless booster. We kept both seats and have used them for three months now. I'll review the Olli first.
The Clek Olli boasts soft fabric and cushioning but my praise stops there. I had a hunch that the Olli wouldn't provide good leg support and that has proved true. It's very small. Clek says the seat is comfortable for kids 6-12 and I can't believe they made such a small seat depth with kids of those ages in mind. It's fine for short trips around town but I don't think my children would do well in long trips on it. The seat depth is only 12" deep and ends halfway up the thighs of my 6 and 8 yr olds, who are each about 50" tall. They look like they're sitting in a booster too small for them and both prefer to sit in the Santa Fe. The armrests on the Olli are long and stationary, which causes maneuvering a seat belt underneath and buckling up difficult. The Clek does not come with a cup holder. Overall, due to the small footprint and lack of support I felt like the Clek Olli was designed for a child who was really too small to be using a booster seat in the first place. Another discouraging factor of the Olli to me is that the LATCH attachments on the back are rigid. This can make installation easier, but if your car has LATCH components that are not centered your seat may end up covering the seat belt buckle of the seat next to it. If you want to use the booster in a car without LATCH you have to try to tuck the LATCH connector under the back seat cushion on your car. This didn't work well in one car we tried it in - the booster seat was hanging off the car seat because we couldn't scoot it any closer to the seat due to the LATCH attachments.
The Santa Fe Booster is a little wider and deeper than the Clek Olli and looks appropriately sized for my kids. It features more of an incline than the Olli so their knees are raised a bit and well-supported. The armrest is shorter on the Santa Fe than on the Olli and that makes getting the seat belt buckled much easier. The Santa Fe also comes with a fold-out cup holder, which has come in handy more than I expected it to. The LATCH connecters on the Santa Fe are not rigid, providing more play during installation (off center LATCH connectors in your vehicle's seat? LATCH the booster and then slide it over a bit so the person next door still has room to buckle), and it can be adapted well for use in cars without the LATCH system. The Santa Fe being cheaper than the Olli is just an added bonus.

The LATCH feature keeps the seat in place without anyone having to secure it with a seatbelt after the kid gets out, which is very helpful with a severely autistic child. It works very nicely in a captain's chair seat in our Dodge Grand Caravan.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a booster for a captain's chair seat in a Dodge Caravan.
