Who is the GoFit Plus Backless Booster Car Seat for?

The Chicco GoFit Plus is a backless booster for children at least 4 years old, 40 to 110 lb and 44 to 57 in tall, whose ears are below the vehicle seat back or head restraint. Optional quick-release LATCH holds the seat while the vehicle belt holds the child. Chicco lists it at 6 lb, and expiry is a dated label.

Reasons to consider it

  • Quick-release LATCH that holds the empty booster in place
  • A carry handle and a listed weight of 6 lb
  • Lap belt guides and a shoulder positioning clip
  • Removable, machine-washable covers, including armrest pads

Things to weigh up

  • LATCH needs lower anchors at the standard 11 inch spacing
  • No back or headrest; the vehicle seat back must reach above the ears
  • LATCH connectors must be pulled out before the cover can come off
  • No published expiry period in years, and not certified for aircraft

My take on the GoFit Plus Backless Booster Car Seat

The GoFit Plus suits a family moving a backless booster between cars who wants LATCH to hold it in place between rides. The trade-off against the GoFit is weight: Chicco lists the GoFit at 5 lb in standard fabric and the GoFit Plus at 6 lb, with the same limits and 15 in x 17 in x 8.5 in size. It offers no back or headrest, so the child's ears must be below the vehicle seat back or head restraint.

Who the GoFit Plus Backless Booster Car Seat fits

This seat covers one stage. Check the date label on the shell before using a hand-me-down; every seat has an expiry.

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.

How the GoFit Plus Backless Booster Car Seat installs

Lower anchors
Quick Release LATCH. Check your vehicle manual for which seating positions have anchors, and switch to the seat belt once the child passes the anchor weight limit in the manual.

Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.

Will it fit your car?

At 17 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 6 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

Installing with LATCH

LATCH is optional and only restrains the booster. To use it, pull the LATCH release handle, pull out both connectors, attach them to the vehicle lower anchors, then pull the tightening strap while pushing the seat back against the vehicle seat. The manual says it is designed for anchors at the standard 11 inch spacing, and ISOFIX anchors may also be used. The top tether is not used. If you skip LATCH, pull the strap snug so the connectors do not interfere with the seat belt. Remove it by pulling the release handle while pulling the seat away.

Belt routing and the shoulder clip

The child sits with their back against the vehicle seat back, with ears below the vehicle seat back or head restraint. The lap belt runs under the first armrest, and both the lap and shoulder belt run under the armrest nearest the buckle. The shoulder positioning clip, stored under the seat, sits at the child's shoulder and stays in use until the belt lies flat across the center of the shoulder by itself. The booster needs a forward-facing vehicle seat with a 3-point belt, never a lap-only belt.

Washing the covers

Pull out both LATCH connectors and remove both cup holders first. Then flip the seat, unhook 8 elastic loops and take out the insert before washing. Armrest pads come off with a release button under the front edge. Fabrics can be hand washed or machine washed cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent and hung to dry. The manual warns against soaps or lubricants on the LATCH connectors or straps, and against using the seat without its covers. The cup holders take plastic containers under 12 oz.

Is the GoFit Plus Backless Booster Car 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.

GoFit Plus Backless Booster Car Seat: common questions

What is the difference between the GoFit and GoFit Plus?

The GoFit Plus adds quick-release LATCH. The GoFit page lists no LATCH, 5 lb and the same 40 to 110 lb, 44 to 57 in limits.

Chicco GoFit product page (opens in a new tab)

What are the GoFit Plus height and weight limits?

At least 4 years old, 40 to 110 lb and 44 to 57 in tall, with the ears below the vehicle seat back or head restraint. The child must also be able to sit still with the belt correctly placed.

Do I need to buckle the GoFit Plus when it is empty?

Yes, it must be secured when unoccupied, because an unsecured booster could injure other passengers in a sudden stop or crash. The safe use checklist allows either LATCH or the vehicle belt, while the warnings page says to use the lap-shoulder belt. Buckling it covers both.

Chicco lists 15 in x 17 in x 8.5 in and 6 lb assembled, with an 11.5 in interior hip width and a 15 in interior seat depth.

When does the GoFit Plus expire?

The manual does not state a number of years. It says not to use the booster after the Do Not Use After date on the label underneath it.

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; Chicco lists 8 colors of this seat.
  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 Chicco so you hear about the next one.
