+ Side impact head protection
+ Features are nice touches

Cons

– Expensive

Bottom line:

The Mother’s Choice Kin AP is one of Mother’s Choice’s feature-loaded convertible booster seats and is nearly identical to the Prime AP. AirProtect side impact head protection is a welcome safety feature as well as wicking fabric. Cup holders and arm rests are welcome additions. For $299 it is ok value, but there are plenty of options at this price.

  1. It is mentioned here that Mothers Choice Kin AP is nearly identical to Mothers Choice Prime AP. So how are the two different? Considering Prime AP is more expensive, why would one buy Prime and not Kin? Thank you.
