This review is from: Keekaroo Cafe Booster - Chocolate (Baby Product) I was hesitant to buy this booster seat for my 18 month old son because of some of the negative reviews. And I'm not one to read instructions, so probably like most everyone else, I stuck the seat on a chair and started clipping the belts around the chair thinking "how complicated can this be?" Well, for some reason the belts come looped through the chair the WRONG way. You have to take them off and thread them in the RIGHT way. If you look at the pictures in the instructions it clearly shows the belt coming up from underneath and over the sides of the chair. I believe a reviewer commented on poor design to have the child sit on top of a strap. If they are sitting on the strap, then you did not install it correctly and the bottom strap will definitely be way loose, as this isn't how it is intended to go. Once I took a minute to look at the pictures I realized how it is supposed to go and was able to get it attached very securely. I will say, some of the buckles were a bit...Read more 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: By H's Mommy "H_Mommy" (Nutley, NY) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Keekaroo Cafe Booster (Baby Product) I liked the modern design of this booster, but thought the strap design was very poor. Who thought it would be a good idea for the strap that connects the booster to the seat be attached to the straps that keep the kid in the seat? And the straps didn't even fit our chair, didn't tighten enough. My 3 yo son would move so the booster would raise off the chair and sometimes almost topple him and the chair out.
I called the company, as I unfortunately waited too long to return the product to Amazon, and they offered to send new straps. Basically there's the original strap, plus another one that straps the booster to the back of the seat as well. Now he sits better and the seat is much safer. It's still annoying when the straps that keep him in place fall through the holes and I have to dig for it though. So all in all, the booster is ok now - he sits still and the seat belts keep him from getting out of this seat, but really there should have been a better...Read more 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Keekaroo Cafe Booster - Chocolate (Baby Product) I have the prince lion heart boosterpod (PLH) and the keekaroo cafe (kc). The PLH is more stable with two straps- back of chair and bottom and a flat bottom to sit down on the chair. The PLH straps come out of narrow holes in the seat which makes food harder to get in there, but harder to get out too. The 'look' of the keekaroo is more modern and slick, the colors of the lionheart are a little overwhelming, IMO. They both seem comfortable to the kids- 14 mo and 3.5 years. The PLH seat is a little roomier. I bought the kc first, like it alot, and would have bought two more for my twins, but the price went up in the two years since I bought my first one. it's pretty pricy now, although it looks better than the plh. |
