    Booster seats: A complete guide

    What is a booster seat?

    A booster does exactly what its name suggests: It boosts your child high enough for your vehicle's lap and shoulder belts to restrain them safely – with the belts over the stronger places on their body, across the chest and the hips.

    After your child outgrows a car seat with a harness, a booster seat is the next step.

    Your child will be riding in a booster seat for many years, so take time to choose a good one.

    There are two types of boosters:

    High back booster. If your vehicle has no head rest and a low seat back, a high back booster will provide support behind your child's head. It may also be more comfortable for a child who falls asleep in the car, because it provides a cradle for their heads.

    Backless booster.
