The Graco TurboBooster LX Backless with LATCH is a backless booster with front-adjust lower anchors and a shoulder belt positioner. For backless use, the manual gives 40 to 100 lb, 43 to 57 in. and at least 4 years old, with the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt. It is not certified for aircraft use and expires after 10 years.
It suits a child who is ready for a backless booster in a vehicle with lower anchors and a head restraint above the ears, where you want the booster held in place between trips. Graco lists the TurboBooster 2.0 Backless for the same 40 to 100 lb and 43 to 57 in., without LATCH, so the lower anchors are the main difference. The manual Graco links also covers a high-back version, so I would read only its backless limits for this seat.

This seat covers one stage. Graco 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.
Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.
At 17.5 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 5.56 lb, which matters if you will move it between cars or carry it through an airport.

The manual Graco links for this booster is the TurboBooster LX manual, which covers the seat with and without a back. The backless limits are 40 to 100 lb, 43 to 57 in. and at least 4 years old. The child sits with their back flat against the vehicle seat back, and their ears must be below the top of the vehicle seat back or headrest. The lap belt goes in front of both armrests and low across the hips, and the shoulder belt goes under the armrest on the buckle side.
Graco allows the lower anchors in booster mode regardless of the child's weight up to 100 lb, but the child must still be secured with the vehicle lap and shoulder belt. Press the red button on the front of the base and pull the straps out to full length. Attach the connectors without twisting the straps, then push on the booster while pulling the straps at the front to remove slack. If the anchors interfere with the vehicle belts or buckles, or the seat has no anchor bars, store the straps and buckle the empty booster with the seat belt.
If the shoulder belt lies outside the red zone shown in the manual, you must use the belt positioning clip. The loop end of its strap threads through a slot on the bottom of the base, and the free end faces the front of the seat. After buckling the child in, slide the clip onto the shoulder belt and lengthen or shorten the strap so the clip sits right at the top of the shoulder. The lap belt must still lie low across the hips.
Each campaign naming this family was read against this model’s numbers and build dates, and none covers it. Still check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture before use, especially on a used seat.
Graco lists 40 to 100 lb and 43 to 57 in., and the child must be at least 4 years old.

No. The manual says it is not certified for use in aircraft because aircraft do not have shoulder belts.
Release the elastic loops and hooks to take the cover off, then machine wash it in cold water on a delicate cycle and drip-dry, without bleach. Surface wash the lower anchor straps with mild soap and a damp cloth; the manual warns that immersing them may weaken them.
Graco lists the TurboBooster 2.0 Backless for 40 to 100 lb and 43 to 57 in. with no LATCH, at 5.1 lb. It does not publish a width for that model.
