Product 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.
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.

 Light and easy September 30, 2008
I bought one of these for my oldest daughter and just moved my #2 into this one. They are great. They keep them in the 5 point harness much longer, keeping them safer much longer. We take long driving trips quite often and they have never complained about comfort. The straps adjust very easily and installation is a breeze.... though you must have a car with "latch system".
The perfect seat July 27, 2008

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.
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.
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.
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.
The seats also fold up easily and come with a carrying pouch for quick transport.
Although the padding isn't as plush as the Britax 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.
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.
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.
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.
Great Seat July 6, 2008
This is a great seat. Easy to install and uninstall which is why we bought it.

I have twin 3 year olds and this booster is the best. In my state we are not suppose to use a true booster seat until age 4 but I needed something that could travel easily on a plane for a vacation I took by myself with the twins and my 1 year old. I needed to be able to carry 3 car seats, push a stroller, manage twins, and keep up with the luggage. These seats helped out alot. Plus so easy to install. I can do it. My husband usually puts the car seats in for me but these are easy to do. I would not use them for kids younger than 3 as they don't have the side support but these are NOT convertible car seats. They are boosters with a 5 point seat belt system. I have read that 5 point systems are safer as the boosters that use the car staps allow for the kids to slip out if the car is rolled in a reck. My boys love them and have not made any complaints about them. My one complaint is that if the boys fall asleep, their necks are drawn forward where their chins are touching their chests. It looks very uncomfortable.
My husband gives them 2 thumbs up for ease of installing because of the push button release latches that clip on the car latch system.
Oh- another negative is that it only uses a latch system so if your car is older and does not have a latch system then you are out of luck on using them. It is no big deal unless your car is old. You also can't use them on an airplane.
Highly recommend this product.

After diligent and thorough research of the competition, and after reading several positive reviews, we recently bought this booster seat for our enormous 2 1/2 year old who's growing out of his convertible car seat (Britax Marathon, though he's within its height/weight limit). He's 40 1/2" tall and weighs in at 36 lbs.
He's been in the Safeguard Go several times now, and each time he's complained of being uncomfortable. He's not typically picky and has comfortably sat in a variety of seats (e.g., Triple Play Sit n' Stroll, a friend's Recaro Booster, etc.), for up to 8 hours, in the past.
In the Safeguard Go, the main discomfort seems to come from the bare, unpadded side buckles that dig into the outside of each thigh. It also seems that he can't get a comfortable upright position without slouching down far enough to cause the crotch buckle to dig into him. I'd say we did all we could to properly adjust the seat to fit him. There's certainly little impact protection, and the seat generally seems a little flimsy (may be due to its portable nature).
While I think this is probably an acceptable seat for older children, a littler one, who isn't quite able to sit upright and properly for an extended period of time can quickly get very uncomfortable.
Market trends seems to be responding to experts' advice that kids remain in 5-point harness as long as possible. This likely means that more and more hybrid (5-point harness transferable to adult seat belt) boosters will soon be emerging on the market, offering a 5 point harness with higher height and weight limits with increased safety and comfort features, similar to the Britax Frontier, coming out in May 2008.
I look for thoughtful care and consideration in the manufacturing of a product. I regret to report that a few important elements were overlooked in manufacturing the Safeguard Go.
