Booster car seat: what you need to know

Booster seats are a popular type of accessories for safe children transportation. They have no back, are installed into a child seat or onto the car seat. Their purpose is to provide a higher seating position to make it possible to restrain a child with a seat belt. The booster seats have a rather small size and are characterized by simplicity of installation. Weight, height and age of the child which are appropriate for using a booster instead of a complete child seat are specified in the road regulations of every exact country.

What are the types of booster seats

By the material of the base:

Products made of foamed plastics have a low price and small weight but they are not characterized by high durability.
Devices with the plastic frame are more durable and safe. At the same time they are light and do not require any troublesome care.
Booster seats with a metal frame are quite heavy but are considered the most reliable and durable.

Products in catalogues also differ in size. Select them in accordance with child’s size and parameters of your car’s passenger compartment. For example, a narrow accessory is perfect for the car of small width, but you should thoroughly check that it won’t be too tight for a little passenger.

Moreover, the accessories differ from one another in armrests height. The higher they are, the higher is the position of the seat belt on the passenger’s body.

Tips on booster seats use

Read the instruction on booster seat installation and use.
Install devices on rear seats of the vehicle. Installing them onto front seats is prohibited.

FAQ

What is a booster seat?

A booster seat is a type of car seat designed for children who have outgrown a forward-facing car seat but are not yet tall enough to use a seat belt alone. It helps to position the seat belt correctly on the child's body, improving their safety in the event of a collision.

When should my child start using a booster seat?

Children can typically move out of a forward-facing car seat and into a booster seat once they have outgrown the weight or height limit of their car seat, which is usually around 18 kg or 105 cm. However, it's important to check the instructions for your specific car seat to ensure you are using it correctly.

How do I choose the right booster seat for my child?

Booster seats come in different styles and sizes, so it's important to choose one that is appropriate for your child's height and weight. Look for a booster seat that fits your child snugly and has adjustable head and shoulder supports. It's also important to choose a booster seat that has been tested to the latest safety standards.

Is it a legal requirement to use a booster seat?

Yes, in the UK, children must use a car seat until they are 12 years old or 135 cm tall, whichever comes first. After this, they must use a seat belt. If you are caught driving without the appropriate car seat or seat belt, you can be fined up to £500.

Can I use a backless booster seat?

Backless booster seats are not recommended for children under 125 cm tall or under 22 kg in weight. This is because they do not provide sufficient protection in the event of a collision. It's recommended to use a high-back booster seat for added protection.

Can I use a booster seat in the front seat of the car?

It is legal to use a booster seat in the front seat of the car, but it's generally safer to use it in the back seat. If you do need to use a booster seat in the front seat, make sure you deactivate the airbag first.

How do I install a booster seat?

Booster seats are typically installed using the car's seat belt. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure you install the booster seat correctly. It's important to check the seat belt is correctly positioned and tight enough to hold the booster seat in place.

Can I use a second-hand booster seat?

It is not recommended to use a second-hand booster seat unless you know its full history and can be certain it has not been in a collision. It's also important to ensure the booster seat still meets the latest safety standards.
