I am using the roundabout for my one year old and it works great.

Suggestion
The boosters came with the full seat but the back part can be removed and you only need to use the bottom part.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I currently have the Britax Roundabout seats for my twins, but for some odd reason, they do not fit well back there. Many others seem to rave about the fit, but I can't figure out how to install them on my coupe with the rear cushions in place. The seats tilt from side to side with minimal lateral force.
I am looking for suggestions for booster seats. Not the ones with the back rest or anything like that. What I am looking for is one of those "bottom only cushion type thingies" (how is that for an accurate technical description?!). Anyone using these and have no fitment issues? My twin boys are 4 years old and nearly 32 lbs.
Thanks!
I'm using the Britax StarRiser boosters. The fit perfectly in the back of my cab.
My 2 kids use only the "butt" portion. The boosters came with the full seat but the back part can be removed and you only need to use the bottom part.
My kids weigh 30lbs and 43lbs and the seats are perfect.
I bought them online somewhere for ~$100 each.
Thanks Jason. I was hoping to find the "butt" portion only that would fit our cars for much less than the $100 that the Britax are. I know safety things is NOT the place to save money, but after spending $200+ ea. for the Roundabouts, I was hoping for something relatively simple and cheap that all it would do would raise the kids to a proper height so the rear seatbelts can do their jobs properly. Not many options down here in Panama, so I cannot go to a store and trial fit many alternatives as I could do so in USA.
Got it. Seems like StarRiser is the only one that fits back there? Anyone else know of a backless seat that fits in the back of our cars without issues? In any case, thanks to all for the suggestion. Just wanted to see if there is something else that is proven that I may buy locally (Britax is not sold here, I would have to special order it).
Question for the StarRiser owners: does this booster seat tilt from side to side when you take turns in a "spirited" manner? I was looking at some reviews and a couple of people mentioned this. My Britax Roundabouts do this and that is why I want to change them.
Gotcha Dutchie, I did not mean to come out as irresponsible, but as an example, a 90� turn taken at 30mph is FAR from reaching the limits on the car, yet it makes the Britax Roundabouts tilt. As soon as I saw this, I basically slowed down to a snail's pace. With my twin 4 year old boys in the car, I never go past 70 mph. Would the StarRisers do the same in a similar situation? Thanks!
Gus:
I am using the roundabout for my one year old and it works great. Question...are you using the tether hook? If not, that's why the seat may be unstable. You need to uncover the metal hoop from behind the seats and attach the tether.
Axel. Could you post a picture of your setup?! I did not use the tether on my Roundabout as I have not seen the hooks for it in my Coupe. Will go there now to check it out. I am still considering the StarRiser since the Roundabout seems to be bigger, hence giving me less legroom which I dearly miss when the kids are in the Roundabouts back there.
Unfortunately, the wife took the seat AND camera with her to a trip to Argentina to see family!
I'm a bachelor for a couple of weeks...
I will snap a pic when I put the seat back in. Look for a cut-out on the carpeted shelf behind the rear seats. You need to snip the seams with a scissor and lift out the carpeted tab. Underneath you will find a metal loop. Your roundabout comes with a tether hook (it's black) and plenty of belt stored in the pouch sewn on the seat cover. Use your seatbelt AND the tether. I wish I could take a pic to show you...
Also, my rear seat bottoms can be taken off. They're held on there with velcro. It will give you a more stable surface to place the baby seat on.
OK. Found this pic in the 997 forum. Our 996's have the exact same set-up. The metal loop is found underneath the carpet/pad seen on the picture.
GOOD LUCK!
Gracias Axel! I go to Buenos Aires at least 3-4 times a year. I have not seen that cutout in my car (maybe because its Euro spec?) and will have a closer inspection in a few minutes.
My car does not look like that in the rear. There is a "step" right before the shelf where the anchors are. I felt around the shelf and could not tell where there is a cutout for the anchor points. I called the local stealer and they had no clue about this (they even told me not to put kids back there!). I am guessing its USA spec only feature and possibly after X year and specific model?
