Eddie Bauer® Pop-Up Booster Seat

 (18 customer reviews)

The idea is great. But the materials this booster seat is made of can't be good to breathe in for anybody, esp. kids. It smells hurrendous. I aired it outside for a lot of hours - it didn't help. I put it out in the garage. It still smells horrible after a week. I am planning on writing to the manufacturer to request some info on the materials this seat was made of.

Update: after more than a year this seat is still smells unbearable. I contacted Eddie Bauer with the question about the materials and they couldn't help me.

This seat is very convenient and it's always in our car, but the smell is just really toxic and terrible. i thought it would air out but it's been over a year and it still smells like the inside of a plastics factory. 5 stars for usability, 2 for "wtf! this is for kids" .. use better materials!

Several friends loved this seat so I bought it too. But it was a mistake. Materials are of poor quality. Both nylon clips for strapping it down to the seat and back of the chair broke within 12 months. One broke after just a few months but the other eventually did too .. cheap plastic. Also the seat caved in long before our son reached 30 pounds.
The 'first years' booster we own is much older and none of the clips on it have ever failed so it isn't us. It's this seat and its poor materials.
