Cosco Juvenile High Back Booster Seat- Negative reviews
Cosco Juvenile High Back booster seat reviews are mostly positive (in fact there are only 4 negatives), so extrapolating negatives is no simple task. However, there are several themes to the complaints about the product, and they are somewhat more serious than the usual issues.
The most telling of these is what looks like a “truth in advertising” issue, as one complainant noted that “the seat DOES NOT use a 5 point harness system to hold the child in place” and the seat “is NOT SECURED by LATCH” (a feature found on many models).
Further complaints included the lack of padding, making the seat uncomfortable for all but the shortest trips, and the severe head rolling that some children experienced when they fell asleep in the seat (one reviewer compared it to whiplash). Also, one customer said that her child was thrown from side to side while going around corners, even at low speeds.
Cosco Juvenile High Back Booster Seat – Positive reviews
Most positive Cosco Juvenile High Back booster seat reviews note that the seat is a no-frills and extremely inexpensive “second seat” or “short trip seat”; once that idea is made clear, the reviewers are strong and supportive of the product. High points for these reviewers included the exceptionally reasonable $42 price. The seat’s ability to hold up to 80 pounds, and its “fun” colors and patterns were praised as well.
In addition, the longevity (the fact that the seat will “grow” with the child) is highly valued, as is the strapping-in system, which provides multiple settings to facilitate the child’s comfort as s/he grows with the product.
The car seat was also touted for its durability and sturdy make, and the minimal effort required to install it. Most reviewers did not consider the “whiplash” effect of the headrest, or the extra room to move (that the child is afforded while strapped in), to be dangerous.

Cosco Juvenile High Back Booster Seat – Conclusion
The Cosco Juvenile High Back booster seat seems an outstanding value for the money, and its ratings in the 33 customer reviews on its display page are predominately positive (it has a 4.4 rating out of 5). Our recommendation is sincere for this product, but it is qualified, in that the seat itself may bear investigation by the parents before they go ahead with the purchase.
Few car seats bear the stigma of allowing children to be thrown from side to side during a turn, or having parents accuse it of potential whiplash. This is no “Caveat Emptor”, but the buyer should review the product before committing.
