The present invention combines the benefits of a booster seat with those of a five-point restraint to provide a compact, portable, lightweight car seat with a five-point harness. The invention consists of a seat-bottom and a backplate. It provides simple installment using either LATCH or the vehicle's adult shoulder-lap belt, with infinite height adjustment of the child's shoulder harness anchors requiring only two belt-length adjusters. A criss-cross connection between seat-bottom and backplate reduces excursion and injury in side impacts. A double-loop connector minimizes incorrect installation. The child's harness has been completely rerouted to lower production cost and to reduce misuse of the restraint. The seat cover can be easily removed without the need to replace any belt webbing, and can be used as a storage compartment for the back-plate, five-point harness and tethers. The cover contains handles, such that it can be carried like a tote.
