About

What it is.

GoFit Plus is a backless booster from Chicco's car seat lineup, built for forward-facing use once a child has outgrown harnessed seating. It secures with LATCH for a snug, stable base or works with a vehicle's own seat belt, routed through integrated lap belt guides and a shoulder belt clip that position the belt across a child's body correctly.

The seat pairs double-foam padding with a contoured ErgoBoost shape for support on longer rides, and includes two CupFolders that swing out for drinks and tuck away when not needed. Fabric covers are machine washable, and the shell is sized for children who fall within Chicco's stated height and weight range for this stage. It suits families who want a straightforward, no-recline booster that installs without extra hardware or guesswork.


The verdict

Owners consistently praise the GoFit Plus for straightforward setup and a snug belt fit that prioritizes security, though some report packaging arrived damaged, which undercuts the overall value proposition at this price point.
