My daughter’s always been little with both weight and height and that means she’ll likely be in a booster seat for longer than many of her friends. It’s important that her seat belt fits properly and that means we need a good high back booster. Chicco provides this great reminder for many of the common booster seat questions to ensure your child stays safe.

Chicco also asked me to share my thoughts on their new Chicco KidFit™ 2-in-1 Belt-Positioning Booster.
We’ve been using a Chicco KeyFit car seat for our new baby and have absolutely loved it. I was excited to try the Chicco KidFitâ„¢ 2-in-1 Belt-Positioning Booster for my six year old.
Features:
- DuoZoneâ„¢ 10-position head and shoulder side-impact protection
- SuperCinch® LATCH attachment and tightener
- ErgoBoostâ„¢ contoured seat with double foam padding
- 2 removable cup holders fold away when not in use
- Removable, machine-washable seat pad and armrest covers
- 2-position backrest adjusts to mimic vehicle seat position
- Removable backrest for use as backless booster
The shoulder belt has a a guide to keep it positioned correctly and allows the belt to stay in place. It also makes the belt easy to grab when getting into the seat.
The DuoZone™ Side-Impact Protection puts KidFit™ has 10 positions of combined head and shoulder protection which grows with your children.
This high back booster is for children 30-100 lbs and can be used as a backless booster for children 40-110 lbs.
The Chicco KidFit Booster Seat has double foam padding and contoured ErgoBoostâ„¢ providing comfort and support where they need it most. My daughter thinks it’s comfortable.
The two soft-sided cup holders are removable for easy cleaning. With snacks and drinks in the car you’re bound to have sticky fingers. The seat pad and arm rest covers are removable and machine-washable.
This booster also features easy-to-use guides which keep the belt in place, reclining seat, and removable backrest for use as a backless booster.
Like other Chicco car seats, KidFitâ„¢ also features SuperCinch® LATCH attachment and one-pull tightener, which helps keep the seat in place for easy in/out. I love how secure this seat is in my vehicle and how easily it’s installed.
Motor vehicle injuries are a leading cause of death among children in the United States.1   Unfortunately, many parents do not utilize a booster seat, despite the fact that when used properly, they reduce the risk for serious injury by 45 percent for children four to eight years old when compared with seat belt use alone. 1

Disclosure: I received a booster seat for review however all thoughts and opinions are my own.
The removal backrest is my favorite feature. 🙂
I like that it has the latch.
Converts to Backless Booster
I like the the maximum height and weight is 57″ and 110lbs!
That it will work with a child up to 110 lbs!
My favorite feature is that it converts to a Backless Booster
I like that it has the DuoZoneâ„¢ 10-position head and shoulder side-impact protection
i love the safety features of course but the cup holders are a big plus!
i dont have just one favorite feature i love them all but with that being said, i love the fact that it can convert to a backless and save my family some money in the long run by having to purchase yet another carseat as i have had to do with my first and am not planning on doing this with my second(though i did buy an infant seat and will have to figure out how to get a convertible in a few months) hopefully can win one and save the $ for some other expenses.
I like the machine-washable seat pad and armrest covers.
I like that it converts to backless booster.
I love that the seat pad and arm rest covers are removable so I can wash them. My son is pretty messy! 😀
Wow what a great convertible carseat! I love that itbgrows with your child! The quick latchnis a great feauture and the side impact head pritection. The booster seat we have now was a hand me diwn from my neices and nephew and does notbhave any of these features!
will hold up to 110 lbs. Love that
My favorite feature is how easily it transfers from one vehicle to another. It gives you piece of mind to know it is securely fastened in any vehicle and can quickly be transferred.
I want to keep my kids in carseats as long as possible so i really appreciate the high weight limit
I like how it fits a child to 110 lbs. So it grows with my boys
I like that it converts to a backless booster seat
I love that this seat has latch connectors. I’m always worried that a booster seat that is not in use will become a projectile in my car. I think this seat would be perfect for one of my boys (the oldest is already in a booster, and the youngest is 5 1/2 and moving to a booster seat within the year).
I like the LATCH Compatiblity option.
