This booster car seat is perfect for years of service to your loved ones, as the seat provides a nine-position extended headrest and transforms into a belt-positioning booster car seat.
The booster cushion raises the child's seating position so that the car's seat belt fits them properly.
Booster car seat how to#
Fitting Booster cushionsĪs with all child car seats, follow the manufacturer's recommendations on how to fit and use them. They usually have a clip on a piece of fabric to help position the diagonal part of the car's seat belt properly on the child's shoulder. The cushion's arms help to position the seat belt and keep it in place. The cushion raises the child's seating position so the lap part of the car's seat belt goes over their pelvis rather than their stomach. Group 3: for children weighing 22 - 36 kgs (48 - 79 lbs) 125cm or taller, roughly from 6 - 11 years This change means that anyone buying a new booster cushion should take extra care to read the manufacturer's labels and instructions in order to ensure that the one they select is appropriate for their child's weight and height. They will not be required to buy new booster seats to meet the rule change. So, parents who use old booster cushions will not be breaking the law if they continue to use them after the rule change. This change does not affect existing models of booster cushions which are classed as a group 2/3 seat and can be used for children 15kg and above. It will only apply to new booster cushions, not ones which are already in use and meet existing safety standards. The new rules mean that manufacturers will no longer be allowed to introduce new models of backless booster seats (booster cushions) for children shorter than 125cm and weighing less than 22kg. New regulations regarding the sale and use of booster cushions take affect from 9th February 2017. It also makes it more difficult to position the diagonal strap of a three-point adult seat belt correctly across the shoulder. We strongly recommend that you do not remove the back of high-backed booster seats or use a backless booster cushion because the lack of a back and side wings removes any side and head protection from the child car seat, leaving the child vulnerable to head and side injuries, particularly in side impacts. Booster cushions that do not have a back are also available. Some booster seats have backs that can be removed as children grow bigger.
