Who is the UpNGo Backless Booster Seat for?

The Britax UpNGo is a backless belt-positioning booster for children 40 to 120 lb and 46 to 63 in. It weighs 3.1 lb and measures 17.1 in wide. It uses only the vehicle lap and shoulder belt, in a seat with a head restraint. A shoulder belt guide is included, and the manual sets a 10-year life.

Reasons to consider it

  • Light at 3.1 lb, with a built-in carry handle
  • Listed at 17.1" wide, 15.5" long and 9" high
  • A shoulder belt guide for when the shoulder belt does not lie flat
  • Removable, dishwasher-safe cup holders

Things to weigh up

  • The manual asks you to consider the child's developmental and behavioral readiness before moving to a backless booster
  • No lower anchor connectors, so the vehicle belt must be buckled across it when no one is sitting in it
  • Needs a vehicle head restraint, with the top of the child's ears below it
  • Not certified for aircraft, and never usable with a lap-only belt

My take on the UpNGo Backless Booster Seat

It suits a child who already fits a backless booster, and a family that moves the booster between cars or needs a narrow seat. The trade-off is that nothing holds it to the car, so it must be buckled in when empty. The UpNGo Click lists the same dimensions and adds rigid LATCH connectors, and Britax lists it at 4.5 lb against 3.1 lb for this model.

Who the UpNGo Backless Booster Seat fits

This seat covers one stage. Britax gives it a 10-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.

Only the base is left, so the vehicle seat has to support the child’s back and head, and the belt guide sits at the hip.

Will it fit your car?

At 17.1 in at its widest, this seat is one of the narrower ones in its class and is a candidate for three across in many mid-size cars. It weighs 3.1 lb, which matters if you will move it between cars or carry it through an airport.

  • Check your vehicle manual for lower anchor positions and any head-restraint rules.
  • Rear-facing seats need front-seat room: try the install behind the driver before you commit.
  • Not certified for aircraft use: plan on gate-checking it or using a different seat to fly.

What to know before you live with it

How the belt is routed

There is no installation step. Put the booster in a seating position with a vehicle head restraint and sit the child on it. Route the lap part of the belt under both armrests and the shoulder part behind the armrest on the buckle side, buckle, check that the belt is not twisted, and remove slack. The lap belt should rest low on the upper thighs and the shoulder belt across the middle of the chest, at or above the shoulder. The base must sit flat on the vehicle seat with no overhang, side overhang included.

Using the shoulder belt guide

If the shoulder belt does not lie flat across the shoulder and chest, the manual says the shoulder belt guide is needed. Thread its loop end through the carry handle, pass the clip and strap through the loop, and pull it tight. After buckling, slide the guide onto the shoulder belt and adjust its length so it sits at the top of the child's shoulder. When it is not in use, store it somewhere safe.

Before moving from a high-back booster

The manual tells parents to consider a child's developmental and behavioral readiness before moving to a backless booster, and points to NHTSA's car seat guidance. The fit checks apply every ride: 40 to 120 lb, 46 to 63 in, ears below the vehicle head restraint and the belt lying correctly. Lap-only belts, motorized belts and lap-shoulder belts anchored on the door are not compatible, and neither are inflatable lap-shoulder belts.

Cleaning and expiry

The cover comes off by unhooking two elastic loops at the front and untucking the fabric from under the belt path. Follow the care label, and do not bleach or iron. Sponge clean the shell with warm water and mild soap. The cup holders are dishwasher safe, top shelf only. Stop using the booster when it is older than 10 years or after a moderate or severe crash. Britax's product page does not show the expiration; the manual does.

Is the UpNGo Backless Booster Seat recalled?

No campaign in the current NHTSA child-restraint data names this model family, and I have not run a separate review for it. Check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture before use.

How do I secure the UpNGo when it is empty?

The manual says to secure the empty booster by fastening the vehicle seat belt across it. It has no lower anchor connectors, so an unbuckled booster can move in a crash and injure someone.

Can the UpNGo be used on a plane?

No. The manual says it is not certified for aircraft because aircraft do not have shoulder belts.

When does the UpNGo expire?

The manual says to stop using it when it is older than 10 years or after a moderate or severe crash. The expiration date is on the serial number and manufactured date label.

UpNGo or UpNGo Click?

The UpNGo Click lists the same 40 to 120 lb and 46" to 63" range and the same 15.5"L x 17.1"W x 9"H dimensions, adds steel rigid LATCH connectors, and Britax lists it at 4.5 lb.

Answers refer to the model and manual version on this page. Check the instructions supplied with your seat.

Before you buy

  1. Weigh and measure your child. The limits above are the manufacturer’s, and a child has to meet all of them for the mode they will use.
  2. Confirm the exact version. Colors, retail exclusives and model numbers change limits more often than you would expect.
  3. Read the manual before you buy, not after. It is linked above and holds the fit rules, the install methods and the expiry.
  4. Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Britax so you hear about the next one.
