Booster Seats

Booster Seat is a type of child restraint system designed to elevate a seated child so that a vehicle’s lap-and-shoulder seat belt can be properly positioned across the stronger skeletal structures of the child’s body, distinguishing it from infant and convertible car seats by its lack of an integrated harness system and its use for older, heavier children who have outgrown forward-facing harnessed restraints.
