Booster Seats

Buy booster seats online on kids-room.com

As soon as children are 4 years old or have reached a weight of 15 kg, they are allowed to travel on a booster seat in the back seat of your car until the vehicle's three-point belt fits properly. This is usually the case when they have reached a weight of 36 kg, a height of 150 cm or an age of 12 years.

Booster seats belong to the group 2/3 and provide your child with an elevated position during the ride so that the seat belt can optimally run over hips and chest or shoulder. The use of the vehicle's seat belt without a booster seats is not suitable for children under the age of 12 years, as it doesn’t fit well on the body. In the event of an accident, the likelihood of injury of sensitive body parts such as the stomach and neck, is significantly increased. In addition to this, booster seats allow your little passenger a good view from the car window, so that the world outside can be observed while travelling.

There are also systems on the market that grow with your child. These are booster seats with a removable backrest, as well as simple booster seats without backrest, but with belt horns on the side. Due to their backrest, the former feature side parts with impact protection and padded armrests. It is also possible to adjust the backrest, which provides your child with plenty of comfort even on long car rides. Many booster seats with backrests are therefore multi-function child car seats that can be used in versatile ways. Some of them are supplied with a built-in belt clip, which ensures the optimum position of the 3-point seat belt.

Booster seats without a backrest and with belt horns offer not much more than an ergonomic seat as well as a "boosting" effect, but are usually cheaper and can be easily stored and transported from one vehicle to another. Booster seats are ideal for vehicles with headrests and high backrests or as second seats, for short journeys or while travelling.

Tips for buying & using booster seats

1. First, always make sure that your child has reached the minimum age and weight for using a booster seat.
2. If you decide on a simple backless booster seat, you should definitely choose a model with belt horns on the sides. They ensure that the seat is properly secured by means of the three-point belt and does not slip away under your child's bottom in the event of an accident.
3. Check the correct position of the belt before each ride. In this case, the shoulder strap should not be too close to the neck of your child, but run diagonally over the shoulder. The lower strap should be positioned slightly below the hip.
4. Older children are less frequently weighed and measured than babies. Therefore, check your child's growth a few times a year. Most children are about 12 years old when they are tall enough to do without a booster seat, but be fastened with a regular seat belt instead.
