Our Review of the
KidsEmbrace Backless Booster
KidsEmbrace has all kinds of characters on their car seats. This review is going to focus on their backless booster seats. It's a narrow option, so it would work well in most vehicles, even for families who need to fit three across in the back seat.
Our recommendation: From 5 years until it's outgrown (average 10-11 years of age)
A backless booster seat
From 5+, but the child must be mature enough to sit properly at all times
Stand Out Features of this Car Seat
Many cool designs
If you have a kid who would like a booster that's not boring, a KidsEmbrace backless booster may be a good option for you to consider. They make boosters with themes based on superheroes, Star Wars, and Frozen.
It’s lightweight.
This backless booster weighs only 2.5 pounds, so moving to a different vehicle is easy.
Seat is good for you if
You need to fit 3 across.
This backless booster is only 16" wide. That's narrow enough that it will work in many three across configurations.
Use caution if
You prefer to have a booster with lower anchors.
Since this seat does not have lower anchors, you must teach the child to buckle in the seat belt when they are being dropped off. This prevents the booster from becoming a projectile in the event of quick braking or a crash.
Quirks to be aware of

Installation Information
Airplane Use
Like all boosters, the KidsEmbrace backless booster does NOT have aircraft approval. But because it is so small, this is still a great option when traveling via airplanes. You can have it under the seat in front of you or stick it in one of your bags, it’s just not suitable for installation on the airplane.

SITS Bottom Line
This is a great, inexpensive booster option for any child who is mature enough to sit properly and is at least 40 pounds. It comes in interesting patterns and fun covers and is narrow enough to work in many three across situations as well.
