High back booster for travel

[Anonymous]

We need a high back booster for travel. Do I just get the cheapest/lightest one? Are they pretty much all the same?

How old is your child. How tall? And how much does he or she weigh?

We got this one for travel (different cover but this one is cheaper) and its fine. My child preferred his other ones but didn't mind it. We left it in the box for the plane and took it out when we got to the rental. Brought a duffle bag for the return home trip.

4.5. Probably 44 inches and 42lbs. He's in a 5 point harness in our cars. This is for travel.

I would just go and get the lightest one.

Get a travel booster. The Bubblebum or Mifold or a Graco Affix.

OP here... not a high back booster?

OP, I have a 5yo with pretty identical stats. We use an Evenflo Maestro for travel--it's a harnessed seat that converts to a booster. Not very expensive and super lightweight; we also have a 2yo and just stack the two seats in an umbrella stroller, but you could easily carry it or bungee it on to a rolling suitcase too. Bubblebum is great for later when he's in a booster at home, but I wouldn't get one for a 4yo who is still in a harness otherwise.

We got the cheap evendflo but I would not put a 4.5 year old in one nor a no back booster. Get an evendflo securekid.

We use the Maestro for travel too. It's not a very tall seat but it fits our 4.5 yo

+1 -- that's what we did.

What sort of driving will you be doing at your destination, though? Usually we'd just travel to and from airport/hotel, with the occasional other short trip.
