The Cosco Pronto! Trend is a belt-positioning booster for children 40 to 100 lb and 43.4 to 57 inches tall. It works as a high-back booster with an adjustable headrest, then as a backless booster with the same limits. It uses only the lap and shoulder belt, expires 10 years after manufacture, and is not certified for aircraft use.
The Pronto! Trend suits a child who has outgrown a harness and still needs a headrest to guide the shoulder belt, with the option to drop the back later. The trade-off is that it never holds a child with a harness and has no LATCH, and the manual says to keep it belted in even when it is empty. Cosco's Finale 2-in-1 adds a 5-point harness (40 to 65 lb), but its high-back booster mode stops at 52 in, while the Pronto! Trend lists 57 in in both modes.

This seat covers 2 stages, and a child has to meet every limit of the stage they are in. Cosco gives it a 10-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.

A child must meet every limit for the mode they use. The labels on your seat and its manual are the final word.
Cosco does not publish a width for this seat, so measure your back seat and compare it with the seat in a store before buying.

The manual says to place the booster forward-facing and flush against the vehicle seat back, which must be upright but can be angled slightly to match the booster. The backrest has 2 positions, upright and semi-reclined, and the semi-reclined one is only for getting the booster flush with the vehicle seat. The lap portion goes under both armrests and lies across the hips, not the stomach. The shoulder belt must go under the armrest on the vehicle buckle side and lie across the center of the shoulders and the chest. Set the headrest so the shoulder belt-positioning guide sits slightly above the shoulders.

The manual says the booster has multiple headrest positions but does not give a count. To adjust it, push down on the top of the headrest while pulling out the adjustment lock, move it, release the lock, then pull up and down to check that it has locked. Whenever the backrest is on, the headrest must be attached to it. The top of the child's ears must never be above the top of the booster's headrest, and the child's head must be at least 5 in below the roof of the car.

To remove the backrest, press the release tab and rotate it back until it lies flat, then lift its hook out of the seat base. The backless booster keeps the same 40 to 100 lb and 43.4 to 57 in limits. The belt routing is the same, with the lap portion under both armrests and the shoulder belt under the buckle-side armrest. Without the booster's headrest, the top of the child's ears must not be above the top of the vehicle seat or its headrest. The manual adds that backless boosters leave any extra head and body protection to the vehicle, and says to keep the booster belted in even when it is empty.

The headrest and backrest must come off the seat base before the whole pad set can be removed. The base pad comes off by undoing elastic straps under the seat bottom, and the headrest pad by undoing its elastic straps. Machine wash the pads separately in cold water on a gentle cycle without bleach, then tumble dry separately for 10 to 12 minutes on low heat and remove them immediately. The manual warns not to use the booster without the seat pad.

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.
The manual lists 40 to 100 lb and 43.4 to 57 in for both the high-back and backless modes. The child can also stop using it once the vehicle lap and shoulder belt fits properly without a booster.

No. The manual says to use only the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt, and never a lap belt alone or an inflatable seat belt. It also says to keep the booster belted even when unoccupied.

The manual says not to use it more than 10 years after the date of manufacture, shown on a label on the side of the seat. It also lists the conditions under which a seat may not need replacing after a minor crash, and says to replace it after a moderate or severe crash.
