She'll probably outgrow the height before the weight! </p> <p>Do boosters without backs have an expiration? I mean, the whole point of that is boost them higher up so the can use the car seat belt at the right height, right? Realistically, if I can get 6 years out of this I'll be very happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evenflo-chase-vs-maestro-or-other-harnessed-booster#post-2245786 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 14:38:12 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2245786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the maestro and we love it! It comes with a cupholder, and the kids are really comfortable in it. I recommend!</p> <p>@looch: We use our maestro as our travel carseat. No complaints! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evenflo-chase-vs-maestro-or-other-harnessed-booster#post-2245732 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 12:56:43 +0000 looch 2245732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am curious if I can use the Maestro as a travel seat...my son just hit 40 pounds at 4.5 years old. I suppose my other choice is to put him in a belted booster when we travel, but I am not so comfortable with that, to be honest, and I would rather not bring my Frontier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evenflo-chase-vs-maestro-or-other-harnessed-booster#post-2245729 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 12:51:59 +0000 kiddosc 2245729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're looking to upgrade grandma's carseat from the scenera also. The chase can only be used as a 5 point harness to 40 lbs, my 3 year old is almost that limit already which is why we're getting a new seat. The maestro goes to 50, which might still be a little low for my liking, but your girls may be smaller. We're probably going to go with the harmony defender, even if it's a little more expensive. The defender has a 10 year expiration and the evenflo seats only have a 6 year expiration. I'm hoping to use this seat for two kids (just buy and inexpensive booster when younger needs this seat) and the shorter expiration wouldn't get us there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evenflo-chase-vs-maestro-or-other-harnessed-booster#post-2245660 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 10:09:32 +0000 regberadaisy 2245660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 is outgrowing her Cosco Scenera in my ILs car so I need to get her a harnessed booster. I'm looking at the Evenflo Chase or Maestro. The specs look virtually the same to me but the Maestro looks like it's a step up in terms of comfort. I'm leaning towards the Maestro.</p> <p>Looking for some Bee user input in terms of getting your child in and out, seatbelt twisting if any etc, easy to re/install?</p> <p>Do you have a recommendation for another harnessed booster in the $80 and under range?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
