 We survived a rollover accident with this seat. December 30, 2009

We survived a Highway rollover accident this summer with our 5 year old in this seat.
You never think it will happen to you.
And Suddenly in an explosion of violence it is happening.
Several of the emergency personnel independently commented on the Lifesaving aspect of his seat.
They also emphasized the word "Booster" should be completely eliminated from Marketing materials for Children car seats.
A Five point harness is the best way to keep a child stabilized in the physical violence of an accident.
The "booster"s essentially cut children in half internally.
Tell all of your friends.
We survived.
And we will never use anything but a five point harness.
There are models up to 65lbs and then you can switch to another product that goes up to 80lbs.
This seat saved his life.

I LOVE THIS!!! We live in downtown Chicago and do not own a car. We usually use public transportation but, occasionally it's easier to take a cab (e.g. when going to the airport with all the luggage). I have looked EVERYWHERE for a "portable" car seat. Sunshine kids was just too heavy and did not fold small enough and our Safety 1st Tote n' Go (a backboard with a 5 point harness) was difficult to install, our son sat on an angle even when installed properly and overall it did not seem safe. I was a bit skeptical about this product - it was a bit pricey for something we will probably only use once a month or so but, my son's safety is priceless. I read the all the reviews I could find and called Safety 1st for more information on installation. I was sold when a NYC woman wrote about installing the seat in less than 90 seconds in cabs; time is precious when you are getting in and out of cabs and horns are honking at you.
The bag is fairly large (think bowling bag) but, there is a shoulder strap on the bag that does not show in the online pictures. The 9lb does not feel like 9lb - far less weight than a Graco infant seat. I'm 5'3" and it's easier to carry than my diaper bag over my shoulder. I usually take my Maclaren Quest when we use public transportation or a cab and I am able to hang the bag/booster on my Maclaren handlebars without it getting in the way of walking.
I read the instruction booklet front to back before our first trip in a cab. WOW! It really does install quickly - try 60 seconds or less! AND it is a very tight fit even using a lap belt. The main reason it is such an easy install is because the seat back is soft and folded down when you are installing the seat - you have more visibility to what you are doing and accessibility to the seat belt. After you have a tight fit you secure the back using the top tether. I found most Chicago cabs have the top tether anchor - even the cabs that look older. Every cab is different so to be able to install in such little time is amazing. I also feel this car seat is definitely safe enough to use when we travel and rent a car.
The only thing I wish this product had is backpack straps on the bag but, it's a minor gripe. This is a must-have if you live in a large city where you take cabs. If you own a car and are just looking for an everyday car seat - this is probably not for you. The child sits very upright and will have no place to sleep - I'd purchase another 5 point harness booster or car seat if I owned a car.
Safe, easy to use January 31, 2010

What a wonderful product! Its safe and reliable, great in a pinch if you have more than one car. I wanted it mainly for travel purposes. We're taking it on vacation with us in March. We want our daughter to be safe (in any cabs that we may take because we're not renting a car) and the travel bag makes it easy and portable! Its also great to just have as a "spare" in your trunk. My mother-in-law was over the other day and wanted to take my 4 yr old out to lunch but I could not give her my truck because i needed it....so I installed the Booster seat in her car and they were off! Also, my neighbor who's a very good friend, owns one too and she helps me out some mornings by taking my daughter to school. She puts the extra booster in her back seat when she gives my daughter a ride when I am unable to. I highly recommend this product. It all comes down to safety, of course.
Great for 2 years! December 13, 2009

We have had our Safeguard Go car seat (before they worked with Safety 1st) for almost 2 years now. We love it and so does my son, who is now 5 years old. After reviewing saftey videos of how traditional boosters with car belts do not work for children in all crashes, my husband hunted for the safest car seat. This is it! It really does attach in just under a minute, is easy to move, and my son has no problems with the size.
I am sorry the other lady had so many troubles, but I really do love mine and I plan to keep my son in it till he outgrows it and I am just about to buy another for my 15 month old...
Just what we needed December 26, 2009

I have two toddlers - my oldest is four and my youngest is two and a half. We previously had both children in Britax roundabouts and marathons (we bought three of each for us, grandparents and nanny), but nobody could fit in the middle seat of our Subaru Forester. So six months ago I went in search of a safe, smaller seat that could grow with us. I wanted the five point harness and excellent safety ratings. I found the Safeguard Go when they were still Safeguard and have been very pleased. The seat may seem flimsy, but it is designed to fold and the strength is where you need it (in the harness and seat). Once you figure out how to install it, it is easy to install, and it fits very securely in our cars (no sliding around). Our kids love them. Yes, they sit lower in the car than they did in the Britax, but they can get in and out themselves and can reach all the books, etc. we now have room for in the middle seat. One concern I have heard is that when the kids fall asleep, their heads fall forward. Yes, we have seen this, so this may not be the best seat if you do long trips often, but as we do not do those regularly, this is perfect for our daily trips. And we have used them for four hour trips to Tahoe without complaint or problems. We have been so pleased with these seats, we have already bought four (two for us and two for grandparents) and plan to purchase two more for the nanny.
