Booster seats are also available as a base only (commonly referred to as a booster cushion) or with backs and sides. Boosters with backs and sides provide head support for a sleeping child.
A booster seat should only be fitted to a forward facing seat.
A booster seat enables a child to use an adult lap-sash seatbelt, or a H-harness and lap seatbelt in the centre of a vehicle. The child will then be able to see out of the window and the seatbelt will fit more comfortably over the child's chest, and not along your child's neck.
When using a booster seat with an adult lap-sash seatbelt, make sure the sash part of the seatbelt is not touching the child's neck. In the event of a crash, the back of the car seat provides protection for a child's head against whiplash.
A child is too tall for a booster seat if their eye level is above the top of the booster seat when they are sitting on it.
