We recently were looking for booster seat for our soon-to-be 5 year old that would fit a smaller car. We weren't looking to move to a booster at this time just trying to get an idea of what our options are. The staff there came off as knowledgeable and helpful but as we continued talking to them we realized they are not. The owner tried to sell us a Sunshine Kids Radian, which is a great seat just no longer what we're looking for, he claimed that it could be used as high back booster as well as an harness and after doing some extensive research I came to find out that it CANNOT be used as a booster. He even buckled it in to our car to "prove' that it could be used as a booster. When I asked where the strap threads were he searched on the seat for ones and then said "oh this seat doesn't need them" Something didn't feel right to me about how it was being used. He also tried to sell us a seat by saying that we were using ours incorrectly, which trust me, I KNOW we are. We have read both the manuals for the car seat and car itself and had it installed by a certified technician. These people are just looking to make some money and I am concerned that they may try to sell someone a seat that truly does not fit their child or car since they lied to us about one being able to be used as a booster. I can't imagine what might happen if someone actually listens to them and places a child in a seat that is not meant to be used in that way. They could be killed.
