Product Information

After an accident, consumers often reach out to us for advice and help. As leaders in child safety, we need to offer the best possible support during this time. The crash forces in a collision can sometimes cause unseen damage. The Safety 1st Accident Exchange Service* ensures new for old substitution of your car seat, giving you peace of mind and one less thing to stress over. 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. However, if you don’t make sure any child passengers have the right car seat, in accordance with the law, and they’re injured or killed in an accident, your car insurance may not cover you. Even if that is temporary car insurance. NHTSA. 2015.

For older kids (and insistent young ones), look for a seat lightweight enough to carry from vehicle to vehicle. Lastly, consider a machine-washable seat cover for easy cleaning. Cost It wasn’t until the 1960s that any real thought was given to child seats –and even then, they were simple booster seats designed to give children a better view out of windows than to keep them safe in the event of a crash. While the armrests don’t adjust, they’re cushy for added comfort. Parents and kids alike will love the removable, dishwasher-safe cup holders that fold into themselves to save space. Additionally, the seat is a breeze to clean—simply toss the seat pad in the washing machine (cold water on delicate cycle with mild detergent, then hang dry).The consensus among the kids who rode in this booster seat during our test was clear: They all thought it was super comfortable—and now we understand why. A seven-position headrest, multiple recline options, padded material, and armrests allow for a better fit and added comfort as kids grow. Like the other booster seats on our list, you push a handle on the top of the headrest to make it move up or down. Once your child weighs more or is taller than the forward-facing limit for their car seat, they should use a booster seat to allow the vehicle lap and shoulder seat belt to fit properly. Travelling rear-facing offers the best protection for toddlers and babies. If you use an i-Size child seat, children must berear-facing seat untilthey are 15 months old.Never fit a rear-facing child seat in the front if there is an active airbag on the passenger side of the car. 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. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommend that all children who have outgrown their harness car seat continue to ride in a booster seat until they're big enough to fit in a seat belt correctly.

Booster Mode We appreciate the machine washable seat pad for when—not if—messes strike. The company says you can wash the seat pad separately in cold water on a gentle cycle. It’s also safe to tumble dry separately on low heat for 10 to 12 minutes.

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.

While we have other booster seats with LATCH systems on our list, our favorite is the Peg Perego Viaggio Flex 120 because it's a dream to install with its rigid LATCH connectors. The manufacturer recommends this booster seat for kids weighing 40 to 120 pounds and measuring 39 to 63 inches tall. The seat weighs 14 pounds, which is about right for its size, yet doesn't feel heavy. This high-quality booster is super comfortable, with better crash test analysis and a reasonable price Children can also travel in a coach or minibus without a child car seat, but must travel in the rear seats of a minibus if a child car seat or an adult seat belt isn’t fitted. If child car seats are not fitted or deemed unsuitable, children aged three or older travelling in a minibus must use a seat belt.BabyCenter's editorial team is committed to providing the most helpful and trustworthy pregnancy and parenting information in the world.
