The Graco TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) in Simpson Racing 8693SIM will keep pint-sized racing enthusiasts revved for the road. It features a sporty red and black checkerboard pattern flanked by black and silver accents. Plus, the Simpson "S" logo and the "Jr. Racer" logo are imprinted on the car seat's fabric cover. The Graco TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) in Simpson Racing is a belt-positioning booster designed for children from 30 to 100 pounds, and can convert to a backless booster.

We like the addition of energy-absorbing foam lining, and find the Graco TurboBooster SafeSeat has a comfortable, cushioned cover. The padding is removable and machine washable, and the dark fabrics are relatively easy to wipe clean. The TurboBooster SafeSeat has an adjustable head support that slides up or down with a one-hand movement, as well as deep side wings that not only support a child during naptime, but that also provide additional side impact protection. It has plenty of extras, such as padded armrests, slide-out cup and snack holders.

We were surprised the Graco TurboBooster SafeSeat required some out-of-the-box assembly, but it didn't take more than 10 minutes to have this car seat ready to go. Like most booster car seats, it was easy to use. No major installation is required, and the belt-positioning guides do an adequate job of putting the safety belts in the right position. Overall, the Graco TurboBooster SafeSeat gets high marks for its sporty style and user-friendly features.
