Graco Junior Plus NEXT

Pros

  • High-back mode starts at 100 cm and the same seat converts to a 135-150 cm backless booster.
  • At 3.2 kg high-back and 1.7 kg backless, it is practical for grandparents’ cars or occasional transfers.

Cons

  • Backless mode cannot start until 135 cm even if the child meets the broad age estimate.
  • A 46 cm high-back shell can crowd neighbouring restraints or make the vehicle buckle harder to reach.

Choose the Graco Junior Plus NEXT when a belt-ready child from 100 cm needs a booster that is easy to move between cars. High-back mode weighs 3.2 kg and provides belt guidance up to 150 cm; only from 135 cm can the same seat be used without its back, at 1.7 kg. That makes it practical for grandparents or occasional transfers, but it is not a harnessed restraint and numeric height alone does not prove the child can sit correctly. The 46 cm high-back width can also crowd a neighbouring seat or make the buckle difficult to reach. Check the exact seating position, shoulder-belt guide, low lap-belt fit and the child’s posture before relying on either mode.
