The First Years Ultrafolding Adjustable Booster 

The First Years Ultrafolding Adjustable Booster is a good choice for children ready for a high back belt positioning booster.

This seat is the only high back belt positioning booster that folds up. You just lift a flap in the back and the seat folds into the back making it easy to change from one car to another.

It's made with EPS foam for superior side-impact protection and comfort. Plus it's particularly cool in the Giraffe print that we have (see photo right). See more photos of this seat and watch a demo of it in action HERE.

The Ultrafolding Adjustable is definitely a convenient seat and makes it easy for moms on the go to fold the seat up after dropping their kids off at preschool or kindergarten to make room for groceries in the car. Or its great for keeping in the back of a car that the child doesn't ride in often like at grandma's house or even in daddy's car if he's not the one normally on the pick up/drop off schedule. It also has a narrow bottom so it fits in bucket seats easily.

Another cool feature about this seat is height adjustment. As your child gets older the seat slides up instead of just the headrest sliding up like some other boosters.

The First Years Ultrafolding Adjustable Booster  is made for children 3 to 10 years old, 30 to 100 lbs, and 38" to 57" tall. I would recommend this one for children four and up, though that could vary depending on the child. While my 3 year old daughter fit well in it and really liked this seat, without LATCH straps to keep it in place secured to the car and without harness straps to keep her still and secured to the seat, I felt she wasn't old enough to sit in a seat like this yet.

If you have any other questions you want to know about this seat or any other booster I've featured, please leave a comment below and I will answer your questions as soon as possible. I know how hard it is to select the right seat and you always have a lot of questions when deciding to make this big purchase.
