Apex 65 Booster Seat

Comments about Safety 1st Apex 65 Booster Seat:

My grandson is 40 lbs and tall at 3 years old. He had outgrown his previous car seat (the harness was too tight at the longest length), but wasn't ready for a shoulder harness due to his age - we tried. He's compfortable, the seat is nice and wide and I feel safer with him in a harness. I bought one for my daughter's car as well. We both love it!

I am using this seat for my 3 1/2 year old. She is petit and often falls asleep in the car so I wanted the 5 point harness. The seat is very comfy for her and she loves the cup holder. I love the colors of the seat. It looks very modern. The only flaws I have found are the short leg strap and that the buckles are a little hard to do. They definitely take two hands to unbuckle. For the price of this seat it is a great choice.

I bought this car seat to replace my Britax Marathon for my 3 yr old son. While I loved the Britax and weight-wise, he was still well within the range, I wanted to get him a "big boy" car seat. I am a big "researcher" of stuff like this before I buy it...I read all the reviews of people who'd already bought it and reviewed any other car seat on the markey that was similiar. When the box arrived, it was a bit crushed and I thought 'Oh, no...it's going to be damaged'. Luckily, it was not. My son was so excited to get his new big boy seat. It installs very easily and is sturdy. It's quite a large seat, so if you are trying to put this into a smaller vehicle, it may not be the carseat for you. \nThe only thing I do not understand is why the instructions tell you not to use the LATCH tethers if you are using the shoulder seatbelt? To me, it seems like it would be safer than just setting the carseat on the seat. So, I go against the directions and LATCH the carseat down and use the shoulder seatbelt when we are just locally driving. For freeway driving I always use the harness. If I had 1 complaint about the seat...and it's minor...it would be the the armrest pads slip off all the time and I am forever digging around on the floor looking for them. I could fix this easily myself with a little velcro...so like I said, this is not a big deal. All in all, I love this seat.

The reason we bought this car seat is because of the higher weight it holds using the 5 point harness.\nand when you use the seat belt as a booster it goes close to the car seat not around the arms of the car seat and the head rest is adjustable!. Being trained in car seat safety we say this one is GREAT!!.

Car seat allows me to keep my smaller 5 y.o. safer longer because of the 5 point harness weight range of up to 65lbs.

My daughter complained of the crotch strap pinching her legs. So, I called Dorel group to complain and they sent me a longer crotch strap free of charge.

My son is 3, and is 42 pounds. He is big enough for a booster seat but not mature enough to leave the seatbelt belted. We'd had an Apex before but had to replace it when in an accident. There are very few seats that will harness a child over 40 pounds and I'm happy that the Apex will do that up to 65 pounds. This is money well spent. Now if they would just get the straps to not be so twisty.

Works, well.. My son had his heart set on the new LED reading lights from his old chair, and that would be a nice feature to add on these.

My 2 1/2 year old son is 39 inches tall and 44 lbs., but I am not ready to put him in a booster yet and this seat saved me from having to (or spending a fortune). He really likes it and he is comfortable. The only negitive feature would be the short croch strap, but I called and they sent me one right away and for free. Love it!
