Bottom line:
The Infasecure Rover is a price fighting 6mo – 8yr convertible booster seat that still doesn’t compromise on safety, incorporating Infasecure’s Air Cocoon Technology. As a result, it scores very highly on the CREP safety test in both forward facing and booster modes.
But at its super low price point it doesn’t feature much else in the way of comfort at all. Smaller infants may float around in forward facing mode and not get the right support as it doesn’t have an infant insert. It also doesn’t have much padding and may be uncomfortable for longer rides. But as a runabout booster seat for older children, it may be the perfect choice to save some dollars.
Who this is for:
Parents looking for an affordable and safety-oriented convertible second booster seat.
