For many families there are other seats that would work very well. It has a 12 year lifespan, so if you use it for multiple children it’s a great price per year ($25), but it’s still a lot of money for a single seat that doesn’t convert to a backless booster. In addition to my disappointment with the cup holders, my complaint is that this $300 high back booster does not become a backless booster. I don’t worry about scraping the seat along the ground (though when fully extended that may be an issue). It’s easy to carry when folded, even for someone who is vertically challenged like myself. It folds with one hand either attached with the lower anchors or sitting free. The height, the narrowness, the ease of installation, and the easiness of just about everything associated with this booster is just great. I review a lot of seats, and many of them I like, some I dislike, some I’m indifferent. She finds this booster easy to buckle in vehicles, even those with traditionally annoying buckle stalks like my car and my husband’s (they’re recessed and like to hide behind boosters). For a seat in this price range, useful cup holders would be nice. The cup holders aren’t very useful: they are just small plastic rings. She has one complaint, and it’s one I share. While she was getting to know the recline I had to deal with the sound quite a bit, but otherwise it’s fine. Lastly, I moved the seat to the upright position and threaded the vehicle seat belt through the belt guide.Īll in all, from the time I open the vehicle door to being able to have a child sitting in the Viaggio Flex 120, it’s about five seconds of work. While it’s folded, I’ve attached the lower anchors, squeezed the yellow handle to move the seat back and “lock” it into place. Here’s how: I used the handy handle to carry it to the vehicle. While writing this review, I’ve been able to get it set up in the car in a matter of seconds. This booster is remarkably easy to install and use in the vehicle. Installation/Usage High Back Booster Installation Now that we’ve shared the highlights of this long-lasting booster seat, we’ll continue with our regularly scheduled review. Just find the lower anchors, aim, and attach. This makes the seat very easy to connect to the vehicle so it’s not a projectile during a crash (when no child is sitting in it). It also doesn’t have armrests, so putting it with other seats and still being able to buckle should be easy enough to do. The wings are shaped such that a lower profile seat next to it will help, but it’s a contender to try for a three across situation. It’s 17 inches wide at the shoulders when in narrow mode, and 14 inches at the base it’s a potential booster for a three across situation. The shoulders open and close as needed for the child’s comfort, size, and fit to other seats or people in the back. The Viaggio Flex 120 has three width modes: wide, medium, and narrow mode. She’s 62 inches tall, weighs 105 pounds, and her shoulder was under the top belt guide height. She meets all of the requirements to use the booster, and she would fit. It’s so tall that she could absolutely ride in it in the car. My 14 year old tried out the Viaggio Flex 120. The Viaggio Flex 120 has several amazing features. Width: 14 inches wide at the base, 17 inches wide at the shoulders (when in narrow mode), 20 inches wide at the shoulders (when in wide mode).Highest booster guide position: 23 inches, with 1 inch necessary between the highest belt guide position and the child’s shoulders.High back booster height range: 39-63 inches tall.High back booster weight range: 40-120 pounds.The Peg Perego Viaggio Flex 120 booster seat has a lot of pretty spectacular features. The Viaggio Flex 120 emerged from the box folded, narrow, and assembled. Booster seats can be quite basic and work fantastically well so it’s quite a feat when I’m blown away by one. When the the new Peg Perego Viaggio Flex 120 emerged from a slim box dropped off on my doorstep one day, I was instantly impressed.
