Booster seat evaluations: NOT RECOMMENDED 2009

Introductory information | see BEST BETS | see GOOD BETS | Other tested seats

Parents should avoid buying the 11 boosters on this "not recommended" list. These are seats that don't provide good belt fit — the main job boosters are supposed to do.

If you already have one of the seats on the not recommended list, don't throw it away. Any booster seat is better than none at all. But take a look at the belt fit, and if it's not doing a good job, replace it when you can with one that works better.
