Carseat masters -please come help me.

My parents are in town and we've been taking the carseat in and out of our cars.

I was thinking of buying them a seat to keep in their car, and bring home with them so when we go visit them, we don't have to worry about a carseat.

Mom just sent me this one: www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12546299

I stopped at "booster", but then continued to read and it's a 'combination seat' that has a 5 pt harness to use for younger kids and then it converts to just a seatbelt for a booster.

Am I missing something? is this decent enough for an every once in a while seat for my parents to use?

It won't rear face.
How old is your child?
Under 2 this would not be ok for me, 2+ I'd be fine with it for a spare used by the grandparents and for the occasional visit.

She's 3.5.

it seems to get really good reviews on Amazon too. I'm considering this for dh's truck.

I just ordered it.

It'll fit her until her wedding day.

I thought of her as soon as I read "booster"!

But the whore is too busy off ticketing moms for carseat violations in real life to help my poor child. Thems the breaks kid. Poor L.

LOL! No, I actually LOVE this one! It doesn't make a very good booster, but with the harness, it's one of my favorite seats, and totally perfect for travel or for grandparents cars.

We own 2 of them as primary seats. I think they are great and the 5yo loves them too. She's tallish for her age and still harnessed.
