Review: Safety First “Nature Next” Bamboo Booster Seat

This is a rather simple review; if you are familiar with booster seats, then the Safety First “Nature Next” Bamboo Booster Seat is nothing too radically new. It works as most booster seats do, with a selling point that it is made from the renewable resource bamboo.

Pros:

• Chair is made from a renewable resource
• Simple to put together
• Easy and intuitive to use
• Locks tightly onto chair it is situated on
• Harness holds baby well

Cons:

• When the box was opened, it smelled distinctly of industrial chemicals
• Sold exclusively at WalMart (sued repeatedly for pollution violations)
• Made in China (one of the world’s most polluted countries)

When all is said and done, I compared this booster to others – every one I looked at was made in China – so that is a pretty moot point. While I’m not over the moon about it being sold exclusively at WalMart, I am still impressed with the use of bamboo.
