Description:
The SafeGuard Go Hybrid Booster blends the portability of a backless booster with the unmatched safety of a 5 point harness, restraining children from the time they graduate to a forward facing seat up to 60 lbs. When the child outgrows the harness, the seat easily converts to a LATCH-equipped, belt-positioning backless booster up to 100 lbs. Because it is made by SafeGuard, parents can rest assured that the crash test performance of the SafeGuard Go far surpasses government standards for child car seats.brbr Lightweight and compact, the seat features a one-of-a-kind flexible back that secures to the vehicle top tether anchor while in use and allows the seat to fold easily away for transport. In harness mode, the sliding shoulder height adjusters, three buckle positions and adjustable headrest provide an easy custom fit for the child, without rethreading of the harness. The SafeGuard Go installs in less than a minute with LATCH.

What a great car seat. Easy to use and it is quite comfortable. You must have a latch for the head rest as the product is not in a shell but that is what makes it unique and easy to move around from car to car. The straps are easy to adjust for changes in the childs' clothing ie; winter coats vs summer t shirts. I ended up buying two. It is also rated one of the top booster seats and I can use it as a 5 point harness until he reaches 60 lbs.
Perfect for long-term 5-point harness use without the bulk

I ordered this "hybrid booster" for my 3 year-old since her little sister had outgrown her infant carrier and needed to move up a seat. I am so thrilled with this purchase - we travel often by plane and this seat weighs all of NINE pounds! It even comes in a travel bag. It was very easy to install and adjust to fit her - she's on the small side, so we had to move the headrest down to it's lowest point, but it works fine and will last her all the way until she can use a real seatbelt. I did read reviews that it's not very comfy and I suppose compared to the ultra cushy Britax she was in before it may not be. However, I don't really WANT my 3 year old falling asleep in the car anyway when it's not nap time, so this does not bother me in the least and she actually loves the new found room that she has. If we go on a long road trip - I think just giving her an extra pillow or blanket would accommodate enough for a nap. Her first comment when she got in was "now I can stretch!" - she can now reach the center armrest cupholders (this seat does not have one attached - again, fine with me since that just adds to bulk). As soon as the baby is big enough, we are likely to purchase another one!
Perfect for S197 Mustangs.

I bought this seat to install in my 2007 Mustang and it was a perfect fit. Mustang rear seats are very deep and narrow so normal baby seats didn't fit, but this one is just the right size.
br /
br /Seat is very well made and my 4 year old daughter loves it.
br /
br /It's very light and folds easily to store in its included bag. Bottom is rounded and soft so it won't scratch your seat. Seat is also very light.
br /
br /Attaches directly to LATCH equipped cars and back is removeable so bottom can be used as a booster cushion later on.
The perfect seat

I have a sedan, three kids, and two of them are in carseats. The previous seats we had left no room for our oldest son to comfortably and safely sit in the backseat.
br /
br /These carseats are perfect for families short on space. They fit exactly in the seat with no overflow. I have one seat in the middle of the backseat and one near a door. The entire third seat is empty.
br /
br /The seats took less than 5 minutes to install properly. I've read in another review that a headrest is needed. This is not true. A top latching tether hook is needed. Not a headrest. Make sure your vehicle has this before purchasing the seats because they will not work properly without it.
br /
br /These seats are an excellent idea for front facing safety. The back has no form to it. When not in use, it flops over. When placed into the car, the back of the seat forms to fit the car. Brilliant.
br /
br /The seats also fold up easily and come with a carrying pouch for quick transport.
br /
br /Although the padding isn't as plush as the Britex seats that we had, the padding is comfortable. The straps look more comfortable as well. The headrest of the seat easily adjusts so that the child's head is protected no matter their height.
br /
br /These seats offer 5-point harness security for children up to 60-pounds. It can then be used as a booster for children up to 100 pounds.
br /
br /My only complaint is that it takes some time to learn to adjust the belts because the harness system is different than any seat I've had experience with. The learning curve is not long though.
br /
br /For $199 a seat, this model allows value and versitility for the money. I have priced these from different retailers and $199 with free shipping is as good as it gets.

We purchased the Safeguard Go for a trip to Central America last summer with our 3 year-old daughter. It was sooo easy to carry the seat on the plane and through immigration in the country we went to. She is big for her age and was comfortably asleep in the seat soon after we got off the plane and into the rental. We are currently using it as our main car seat and it works well. Also, it's very easy to install, light-weight and easy to clean.
