Product Information

Safety 1st Store ‘n Go Sport Booster Car Seat: This Safety 1st booster seat doesn’t feature a LATCH system, so installation and transfer are a breeze. There’s also a storage drawer underneath the seat for small items, like sunglasses, a tablet, and more (which we and the kids loved). On the other hand, adjusting the headrest is challenging because you must take the whole seat out to reach a certain piece for adjustment. Moreover, we felt we might break the headrest when changing its height. The UPPAbaby Alta Booster Seat boasts a feature no other booster we tested has: a lap belt positioner. This special piece helps kids 40 to 100 pounds and 38 to 57 inches tall find a proper fit easier. Weight-based child seats offer a range of options: 0kg to 10kg or 13kg, 9kg to 18kg,15kg to 25kg, and 22kg to 36. It's legal to use booster seats or booster cushions as car seats for children, but the rules differ depending on whether the seats are old or new. We found the process of changing the position of the armrest slightly inconvenient: you have to remove a screw, press a button on the base, and reinstall the screw. On each side of the seat, you’ll also find a hide-away cup holder that folds into the base when not in use.

Volvo has a reputation for being the first with safety advances, so it’s no surprise that it launched a child seat prototype in 1964. In the event of a side-on crash, a standard seat belt offers little protection for a child as it’s not guided across the body in the same way as a booster seat. CDC. 2021. Transportation safety. Get the facts. https://www.cdc.gov/transportationsafety/child_passenger_safety/cps-factsheet.html Opens a new window [Accessed October 2022] For car seats without LATCH systems, they rely on the seat belts children use to install. So essentially, there’s no installation method. The booster seat sits directly on top of the vehicle seat, and children use the vehicle belt to secure themselves and the seat. Dr. Scott says you should only use booster seats with both the lap and shoulder seat belts, not the lap belts alone.Lastly, avoid inflatable booster seats, as they may deform under the forces of a crash, explains Dr. Jermakian. Inflatable booster seats are less stiff; if a collision happens, you need a unit that's stiff enough to keep the seat belt across the pelvis and shoulder. Under the forces of a crash, inflatable boosters may cause a child's hips to slip under the belt, which can cause the seat belt to move into the soft areas of the abdomen and result in serious injury, Dr. Jermakian adds. Mark Bennett, European Product Expert for Britax, said: "The debate around children’s car seat safety is a perennial topic across Europe, so it isn’t surprising that there are positive updates to the regulations, especially when it comes to booster cushions. UK law dictates that a child must use a child car seat until they’re 12-years-old or 135cm tall, whichever comes first. Children over the age of 12 or more than 135cm tall must wear a seat belt. This high-quality booster is super comfortable, with better crash test analysis and a reasonable price The same rules apply for children with disabilities or medical conditions, but they may use a disabled person’s seat belt or child restraint designed for their needs. A doctor may issue an exemption certificate if necessary.

To find the best booster seats, we researched safety guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). We also spoke to parents and medical professionals. With this guidance in mind, we researched top-rated booster seats and considered their design, installation, ease of use, durability, safety features, and value. We then narrowed our list down to 19 booster seats that met our criteria and sent them home with our parenting editors to use with their children, ages 4 to 8, and in their personal vehicles. Your child can graduate from the booster seat once they can wear a seat belt correctly without one. This usually happens when a child reaches 4 feet 9 inches in height and is between the ages of 8 and 12. Booster seat age: Do 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds need a booster? When the booster isn't being used, secure it with a seat belt so that it doesn't get thrown in a collision or sudden stop.

Also, don't be in a hurry to ditch your booster (even if your kid complains and begs). Safety regulations are there for a reason. The recommendation is 4'9" tall before moving from a booster to the vehicle seatbelt. Once again, we recommend you keep children in the booster until they reach the limit advised by the manufacturer. NHTSA. 2015. Traffic safety facts. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/812154 Opens a new window [Accessed April 2016] We love the sleek look and solid construction of this Nuna booster seat. It reaps a nine-position height-adjustable headrest—via a one-handed handle—to accommodate growing kids. A cool feature of the adjustable headrest is that it widens the shoulder area during adjustment. Look at the maximum weight and height limits of your child's car seat for the rear-facing position, and keep them rear facing until they outgrow the weight or height specified. When they're too big to ride rear facing, you can turn the car seat around to face forward.
