The Graco TurboBooster is the ubiquitous booster in all the minivans and SUVs around the elementary school grounds for a reason- it's so easy to use and lightweight. Great for transferring from one car to the other or just if you want to fold down the seats when you're hauling something without the kids in tow. It's comfy enough for the kids to sit on long car rides (our kids have been in it for 4-1/2 hour stretches at a time without complaint). I easily took it from the taxi to the luggage check-in to rental car as we traveled with it. Just be sure to put it in a plastic airline bag when you're checking it as the two pieces do tend to come apart easily. That's handy when you want to remove the back as they kids get older and just use the base as a regular booster.Great lightweight, adaptable and transportable seat for all kinds of situations that grows with a child from toddler to 8 years old.
