The sporty Graco Backless TurboBooster Car Seat 8491AZA has "big kid" written all over it.

Our tester took a ride in the booster seat featuring the Azalea pattern, although the model is available in a variety of colors and prints. This backless version has padded, height-adjustable arm rests and hide-away cup holders that pull out when they're needed and push in when they're not. Our passenger discovered the cup holders were as much fun to play with as the contents they held.

The open loop seat belt guides make it a snap to move this booster seat from vehicle to vehicle--a feature most parents will appreciate. The open loop seat belt guides also make it possible for older children to easily buckle themselves, which is something we've noticed can be more difficult to negotiate with other car seats.

We like the simplicity of this booster seat, especially for older children who are longing for a more grown-up ride and the ability to be more independent. The Graco Backless TurboBooster is for use by children weighing between 40 pounds and 100 pounds and from 40 to 57 inches tall.

Overall, the Graco Backless TurboBooster Car Seat 8491AZA earns high marks for comfort and simplicity.
