In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on. What's in the Box

 Consumer Reports Gave it a 82 the Highest Review! December 28, 2006
69 out of 74 found this review helpful
I am very happy with this purchase. I am a Britax Mommy and have been since my son was born but just so happened to check Consumer Reports before I purchased his "Big Boy" seat and was glad I did.
They gave this seat the following review: Over all score 82 (the highest of any booster seat) Graco TurboBooster 8493 TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8496 $50, TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8497 $50,TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8498 $50,TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8673 $60,TurboBooster SafeSeat (Step 3) 8674 $70
This seat is actually several models but this one that I purchased allows for the back of the seat to detach when they are older and no longer need the back. It also comes with a neck pillow. Unfortunately I did not get this in my box and simply called GRACO and they sent one right out to me. Excellent customer service!
My son is not yet 3 years old but exceeds the mandatory weight and height limits to use the seat. He is not a large child but fits perfectly in it. I have posted his photo in the seat so that you can judge for yourself on the sizing.
From one Britax mother to another don't spend the extra money on the name. Britax did not even make the Consumer Reports list. I am pleased and I am also very concerned with my son's safety that is why I always purchased Britax. This time GRACO came out tops!
As far as my son being comfortable he is able to be free in his seat and still be safe. He can reach his toys and he can also nap comfortably. He dies not complain at all now that we have the new seat. I personally made a wise decision. The seat also fits great in my Xterra and both cup holders on the seat can be pulled out with east for snacks and drinks. I am however worried about cleaning them when they get dirty. It looks as if it will be a tedious job.
Perfect! February 15, 2007

This seat is so easy to put together, place in the vehicle and strap a child in to, it is definitely worth every penny. Safety ratings on this seat are great. It is also convenient that, when the child is old enough to move on to a booster without a backrest, the backrest is removable.
Our daughter loves the cupholders for snacks and drinks.
She also loves that she can climb in and out of the seat by herself, which is good for her self-confidence as she grows up.
We use this seat between 2 cars and it is easily removed and replaced with a simple slide of the seat belt. The seat is even color-coded to show where the belt should be placed across the shoulder and the waist.
Definitely a great product.
Great Booster! June 26, 2007

We are thrilled with this product. We had to buy three for our triplets and were just so happy with the price and very satisfied with the quality as well. The kids can buckle themselves in and those days of struggling with the harness for the car seat are over! Thank Goodness! No more twisted up belts, etc. These are great, washable covers, etc. They were simple to put together, minimal assembly and they are so easy to put in and out of the car. I definitely recommend them to any parent looking for a good deal with great value of product. You can't go wrong with this one.

Have been using this booster with my 3-year old for about a month as his younger sister needed his previous convertible (also a Graco); love the booster. Easy to use, my son can climb in and out of the seat very easily. Added bonus - the cup holders are in perfect position for him (location in previous seat was awkward and the cups always ended up on the floor, rolling under the front seat). At his age on longer car trips during which he naps, I do miss the 5-point harness that kept him in a better position (he doesn't much care for the head pillow that came with the booster), but, once seated, if you pull the shoulder strap all the way out so that it retracts and "locks" it helps give him some additional support (and keeps him from wiggling side to side). We are very pleased with this seat overall, have already been asked about it by many of our friends, and highly recommend it.
