  "question": "Which booster car seats are easy to install correctly?",
  "answer": "Maxi-Cosi Tanza (BC197): Rigid LATCH connectors provide the vehicle installation, and red-to-green indicators show when the base is secured. The store says it can be secured with the vehicle seat belt when LATCH is not used.\nCYBEX Solution Z-Fix: Lab evaluators liked the reclining headrest, widening torso wings, easy entry of the shoulder belt into its guide and ability to secure the seat with LATCH. Consumer Reports scored it 63 overall, with 3/5 for high-back booster fit and 5/5 for ease of use. The lap belt must lie low and snug on the thighs, while the shoulder belt must cross the middle of the chest and shoulder without touching the neck.\nClek Oobr: Consumer Reports scored ease of use 4/5 and praised the labels and instructions. A vehicle without lower anchors can use the booster without its LATCH connectors, but the unused booster must be secured by the vehicle belt.\nDIONO Everett NXT: The booster can attach to compatible lower anchors using LATCH, UAS or ISOFIX-designated positions; the vehicle manual must be checked. Consumer Reports gave ease of use 3/5 and noted that the seat can be secured with LATCH.",
