NOT RECOMMENDED – The Nuna Aace is just a booster using the adult lap sash seat belt. The cost is 20% more than the trusted Britax Hi-Liner; which we have been using for many years and the Nuna aace does not have a Anti Submarining clip to prevent your child from sliding under the lap section of the seat belt.

Recommended – The Kid Guard Pro Booster seat is designed to fit alongside another baby car seats; as it is narrow and does not have arm rests.
The Kid Guard pro has expandable wings allowing larger children to stay safely harnessed.
The extended base allows for children with longer legs to be harnessed without the booster seat digging into their thighs.
The Base of the Kid Guard Pro booster seat is extendable; allowing children with longer legs to sit more comfortably; simply by winding the dial on the front of the booster seat.
The base should be wound out far enough; so that it is under your child’s knee.
The Safe Guard Clip /Anti Sub-marining clip; is designed to prevent children from sliding under the lap section of the seat belt.
The safe guard clip; needs the lap section of the seat belt sits at the hips. The adjustment for the slide guard is under the base of the booster.

When you child is taller than the average child; you may find that your child will may reach the upper should marker before the legal age of being in an adult seat. The Kid Guard Pro permits an average 10 year old to be in a booster seat the the additional side and head protection. For tall child this will allow then to safely reach the legal age of 7 years of age.
The Kid Guard Pro is ideal for fitting 3 across the middle row of the car; due to its narrow footprint and the fact that the booster seat does not have any arm rests.
The biggest problem with booster seats and 3 baby seats in the second row; is that the seats are next to each other, making it difficult to buckle the seat belt. The Kid Guard pro solves that problem with no armrests allowing for easy access to the seat belt buckle.
Recommended – The kid guard pro booster seat is the only booster seat you need when fitting 3 baby car seats across the second row. The additional safety features of SICT and the Slideguard clip; make a safe seat even better. When it is possible to use an extended harnessing car seat then we recommend the Britax Maxi Guard.
Not Recommended – The cost of the Maxi Cosi Rodi is a huge negative; considering the price of the Britax maxi guard is only marginally above that of the Rodi. Other issues such as the cable ties, the pinching hazard and the headrest coming completely out; mean there are better alternatives for the money.
The Maxi Cosi Rodi AP Booster Seat claims to be the Safest and most comfortable booster seat of the market. Consider for a moment that the Maxi Cosi Rodi is only a Booster seat and with an RRP of $259, making it the most expensive booster on the market.
