The design of the interior of any car is always designed for an “adult” passenger. But very often children are transported in cars, and standard safety systems are not designed for small passengers at all. Previously, nothing at all was provided in terms of safety for children in cars, although the likelihood of children being injured in collisions is much higher than for adults. And the situation was aggravated by the complete absence of any safety systems for children, and the use of standard equipment often only increased the likelihood of injury.
But now the situation is improving somewhat, although not entirely through the efforts of automakers. The safety of children in cars can be increased by installing special child seats. Automakers, for their part, have ensured that their cars are equipped with systems for fixing these seats. As a result, the safety of young passengers was significantly improved.
But children grow, and it only allows for the safety of children under 5 years of age; then the child simply does not fit in the chair due to his height and weight.
A booster is a backless cushion that is placed on a car seat. Due to insufficient growth, the child is seated below the level of the belts, so when secured, they will not only cause discomfort to the baby, but also in the event of an accident they can cause additional injuries due to incorrect positioning.
The booster is aimed at eliminating all this. A booster car seat raises the child relative to the passing level, which allows the elements of the safety system to be correctly positioned relative to the body. As a result, they will not cause discomfort and will ensure the greatest possible safety.
The majority of boosters belong to age group 3 and are intended for use by children over 135 cm tall and weighing 22 kg. But there are also models that have 2 age group, and they can already transport babies weighing from 15 kg and height from 100 cm. A booster is used until the child’s weight reaches 45 kg.
General characteristics and types of car boosters
According to traffic rules, children belonging to these groups are allowed to be restrained by standard safety systems, so a booster is quite suitable for them, especially if the baby already experiences discomfort when traveling in a car seat. At the same time, measures for inappropriate transportation of children in cars have recently become significantly tougher. Lack of a car seat or booster will result in a fine of 3,000 rubles. Therefore, it is better to use such devices to avoid punishment, and most importantly, to ensure proper safety for the baby.
The fine for transporting children without a seat or booster is 3,000 rubles.
Boosters are available in two types:
- With specific dimensional parameters;
- Universal.
The first are models that are intended for use with children of a certain age and weight. That is, for children with minimal height and weight, but who can already be transported in a booster. Initially, this device is thicker with a relatively small width to provide a high and comfortable fit. As the child grows, the booster is replaced with a thinner and wider one.
The arrows on the booster indicate the location of the seat belt
Universal models are designed for use for the entire period of transporting a baby using a booster. But such models are less recommended, since they cannot provide proper fit and comfort throughout the entire period of use.
There is another type - combined. These are models that are included in the design of car seats. That is, as the child grows, all unnecessary elements are detached from the chair, and ultimately, only the booster remains. But such devices are only suitable for use on early stage transporting the baby in a booster.
Advantages and disadvantages of a booster
The simplest booster is a regular baby pad. It is not secured by anything at all, and the entire calculation is made on the fact that the booster will be held in place by the fastened baby. But practice has shown that such a device can be dangerous. During a collision, the booster may slip out, causing the child to fall down, and the seat belts could injure the child.
Boosters equipped with armrests are considered the most optimal for use. These additional elements allow you to solve two problems at the same time - to increase the comfort of the booster (it will be much more comfortable for the baby to sit on it), and to ensure the fixation of the product itself. Therefore, in the event of a collision, the bester will not slip out from under the child. To secure the booster, simply pull a horizontal section of the seat belt under the armrests.
Some models, in addition to armrests, are additionally equipped with special brackets for pulling the belt. All this is aimed at ensuring reliable fixation of the booster. But in practice, such brackets only complicate the process of installing the booster and seating the child.
There are also models that are equipped with full-fledged fixation systems. In this case, the seat belt is not used for fastening; it only performs its direct task.

Types of booster based on materials of manufacture
Another criterion for boosters is the materials used. Most often these products are made:
- Foam based;
- Plastic;
- Multilayer construction.
Foam ones are the cheapest models. At the same time, they are characterized by increased comfort and ease of fit, and are lightweight. But in terms of security, this is not a very successful model. The foam base is quite fragile, and when subjected to force, it can split into pieces. As a result, during a collision the base is destroyed, which is why the child can sit down, moving relative to the lines of the seat belt.
Models with a plastic base are the best option both in terms of cost and safety. But when selecting a product, you should pay attention to the plastic base. In order for safety to be at the required level, the plastic must be durable, with stiffening ribs.
The multilayer design is characterized by high levels of comfort and safety. It usually consists of a metal frame, several layers of absorbent materials, and a soft top pad. But their cost is the highest.
How and where to install and secure the booster in the car
Boosters can be used in both the rear and front seats. An important condition for this is the correct installation and fixation, as well as the placement of the seat belt, since it is the main element ensuring safety. However, if a child is transported in the front seat, the passenger airbag must be turned off.
If the booster has a very simple design, then it is not fixed at all. In models with armrests, the product is fastened using the horizontal part of the belt. It is important to adjust the length of this section so that it has the maximum possible tension.
Boosters that come with mounting hardware are intended for use in the rear seat only. It is fixed using existing fasteners, which are connected to the car’s fastening system (for example, Isofix).

Before purchasing this product, it is important to consider some more features, in addition to the design and availability additional elements, namely:
- The choice must be made with the child. He is the one who should evaluate the booster. When sitting on it, the baby should feel comfortable and comfortable;
- Pay attention to the overall dimensions of the booster. It is allowed to use the product “for growth”, but it should not be significantly large, that is, it should not be taken with a “large margin”, otherwise safety will be less ensured;
- Workmanship. It is important to evaluate the manufacturing materials, tailoring features, base material, etc.
One of the keys to purchasing a high-quality booster that meets all requirements is the reputation of the manufacturer. There are a lot of them, and most of them are little known and the quality of their products is not always the best. Well-known manufacturers include Geobi, Bertoni, Lorelli, Britax, Chicco. The models of boosters that they produce are also quite large, so the choice of product should be approached thoroughly and all the nuances taken into account.
The safety of a child in the car is a priority when choosing travel accessories. A newborn baby should travel in a cradle, and an older child should travel in a car seat. But when a child reaches a certain height and weight, he becomes uncomfortable in standard version, which is why many parents purchase child booster seats. But at what age is it allowed to use such a device, and from what material to choose a device, you need to figure it out.
What is a booster?
A child car seat - a booster - belongs to the category of travel devices designed to ensure the safety of a small passenger during a trip. Moreover, it differs from a regular chair in such factors as:
- lack of backrest;
- There are no specific seat belts included;
- smaller size and weight.
Child booster seats (description):
- seat equipped with armrests;
- The device is secured with a car seat belt.
Types of boosters
To decide on the choice of accessory, you need to know their differences. There are three types of boosters based on the type of material used. Each of them has its own advantages. But the disadvantages should also be assessed.
Foam booster. The foam chair is a budget model, but rather impractical. Its main advantage is its low weight and ease of installation. However, due to the fragility of the material, such a device is not able to protect the child during an accident, because it will fall into pieces.
Car booster seat made of plastic. Stronger and more reliable than the first option. Unlike the foam version, they can withstand significant loads. Their weight is light, and the price is not very high. Therefore, this option is the most popular among parents who are looking for a means of protection for an older child.
Booster on a metal frame. The chair is quite heavy and assembly problems may arise. However, crash tests have shown that this particular device can withstand impacts and protect the child during a collision. The frame is rigid, but manufacturers hide it under numerous layers of soft materials. Therefore, the child is comfortable in the chair.
Pros of using a booster
Parents prefer to buy these protective equipment for many reasons. Some are attracted by their affordable price, while others do not want to install a bulky seat in their car. Among the advantages of the booster are the following:
- Easy to fix and install.
- Convenience for the child and ease of fixation. For protection, a permanent seat belt is required, which is located in the car.
- Compact and lightweight. The booster car seat is suitable for small cars where there is not enough space to install a bulky version.
- Low price. The device is affordable for most consumers, and foam options are generally budget-friendly.
Disadvantages of the device
Despite its advantages and ease of use, there are users who do not trust the booster to protect their children. There are quite logical explanations for this:
- The security level is quite low. The child is not protected from all sides and could be seriously injured in the event of a collision.
- Testing of boosters is carried out with lesser requirements. They are subject to more simplified standards than car seats.
However, if your child has already grown up, you should take a closer look at this device, but choose it wisely.
Permitted age of use
A child car seat (booster) belongs to group 2-3. This means that the device is intended for children whose weight has reached 15 kg and does not exceed 36 kg. Based on these parameters, it is clear that the accessory can last for quite a long time. If we focus on age, then not everything is clear here. To change your seat to a booster seat, you need to consider two factors:
- Child's weight.
- The growth of the offspring.
Weight must be at least 15 kg. Many reach these dimensions only by the age of three, but some can boast of this weight already at two years.
Height is also important. It must be at least 120 cm. B otherwise the child will not be properly supported and the back will not have proper support.
Thus, comparing all factors, we can highlight optimal age- 5 years, when they switch to booster.
Custom model
However, manufacturers have released a booster car seat for children from 9 kg. This option belongs to category 1 and has special parameters designed to transport children up to 15 kg. But many do not recommend parting with a full-fledged car seat so early. Skinny and little baby could slip out and suffer serious side impacts in an accident.
Criterias of choice
Child car seats must meet certain parameters. When choosing, you should pay attention to many criteria. The main ones are the following.
Material. Children's booster seats consist of four layers: frame, plastic base, soft padding, fabric upholstery. It is important that the seat is moderately rigid and holds its shape well. Children often get the upholstery dirty, so it should be removable and easy to clean.
Options. The main criteria are the width of the seat and its height. To make the child comfortable and the device to last longer, you should choose a wider design.
Mounting method. There are simple models that are secured with a car belt. However, this method is unsafe, because if you make a sharp turn, the child may fly out of his seat. The most reliable child car seats should have a Latch or Isofix fastening system.
Price. On sale you can find options that cost 300-500 rubles. Such a booster is probably made of low-quality materials and is not capable of providing adequate safety. The foam version is only suitable for one-time transportation in emergency cases. For permanent use, it is recommended to purchase child booster seats with a metal frame.
How to make the right choice?
In order for the purchase to satisfy parents and not cause negative reactions from children, you should adhere to some rules:
- It is best to go shopping with your child. Baby booster seats may look attractive, but they will be uncomfortable for your child. Therefore, it is advisable to sit through the selected options and choose where it is most convenient.
- You should focus on the armrests. They must be tall. Only in this case can the risk of damage during sharp turns and collisions be minimized.
- When secured with a belt, it must pass below the level of the neck.
- The booster should not be high, otherwise the child may hit his head on the ceiling of the car, even on small bumps.
- More expensive models equipped with a small fixing backrest. Perhaps this option will be more comfortable.
Children's booster seats: review of popular models
Many companies that specialize in the production of children's products also produce automobile protective equipment.
American company Graco. The manufacturer offers a model - Booster Basic. The chair is comfortable and comes without a backrest. The option is designed for children from 5 to 12 years old. The device can withstand weight up to 36 kg. The advantage is the metal frame and high-quality plastic. The armrests are adjustable in height, which is convenient for a growing body. Top cover removable, so maintenance is not burdensome.
Chicco. Popular brand children's products, which produces Quasar booster. The model is suitable for children whose weight has reached 18 kg. The advantage is light weight and the use of cotton materials in upholstery. The booster is comfortable and durable.
Nania Dream Animals. A car seat for children over 9 kg can be easily replaced with this booster. It is designed for the youngest category of children (from 3 years old), equipped with a metal frame and a soft seat. The cover is removable and made of hypoallergenic cotton.
German company Heyner. The manufacturer offers a variety of boosters designed for different age categories. It is important that all products have passed voluntary crash tests and received the appropriate certificates. Pediatricians and automotive protection specialists recommend boosters of this brand. The developers have developed a special technology that provides thermoregulation of the chair. In summer the baby does not sweat, and in winter the material retains heat.
Clek Ozzy. The model is versatile. The chair is suitable for use by people up to 54 kg. This option is preferable for large children. The booster is quite easy to install, it is lightweight and guarantees the safety of the child. The height of the armrests is increased, which guarantees protection during sharp turns.
Children's booster seats have different characteristics. But best models are made on a metal frame using plastic elements. The inner layer is soft and provides comfort while sitting. The outer upholstery is removable to maintain hygiene requirements.
Purchasing a child car seat is always a long and painful undertaking, which significantly affects family budget. However, it is quite possible to save on this without compromising safety. Instead of classic restraints, many families purchase a booster car seat. Customer reviews note the high efficiency and low cost of this device. However why this element less expensive than a regular car seat, is it worth buying at all?
Booster car seat: at what age should it be used?
Let us immediately note that this device is not suitable for all children. If your child is under 3 years old and his weight does not exceed 15 kilograms, it is better not to buy this device. For such passengers, there are special car seats-cradles that hold the child on all sides.
Design
Looking at the photo, few people will say that a booster car seat is a full-fledged replacement for a classic device. By its design, this tool is a kind of lining that allows the child to reach the regular ones. Nevertheless, the booster car seat has a lot of advantages over standard “cradles”. Thanks to their light weight and compact dimensions, they are quite convenient and easy to install.
Safety
Here we come to the main aspect of choosing children's car seats. And here the booster clearly loses classic options. The fact is that these devices are not equipped with their own seat belts; they do not have any head restraints, much less side protection. Consider your baby simply sitting on a firm cushion. Therefore, the only hope remains for regular ones. All this is noticeably reflected in their total cost.
How to choose? Selection criteria when purchasing a car seat
Still, if your eye is drawn to a booster car seat, you need to be careful when purchasing. Firstly, Special attention pay attention to the material from which it is made. Ideally, the base of the product should be made of metal, and the top should be covered with a layer of plastic or soft upholstery. Also, don’t forget about the fastenings. Boosters with Isofix, Isofit and Latch fastening systems are considered the safest. In addition, inspect the dimensions of the chair. The armrests must fully correspond to the size of the baby, and the lining itself should not cause him a feeling of discomfort.
Also, the product should not be very narrow or wide. It is also worth noting that recently products with additional accessories for the convenience of the child have been in great demand. Some have a positive effect not only on comfort, but also on the safety of the baby sitting in the car.
Conclusion
Thus, we can summarize that this device does not provide as much safety as a regular car seat. However, the booster still has a right to exist. This device is much cheaper than the first one and does not pose any additional threat to the baby.
In a family where they are used to traveling by car, transporting the baby is a separate item of necessary safety measures and expenses. The fact is that by law it is prohibited to transport a baby under a certain age and weight without a restraint device. As the child grows, it is necessary to change the car seat to another or booster. The pricing policy of the latest invention brings it to a leading position in the ranking of budget devices for the safe ride of children in a car.
A booster is a type of restraint device in the form of a seat with small armrests, but without a supporting back and headrest. The purpose of the design is to lift the small passenger, and then the standard seat belt will not pinch his neck (which happens if the child is simply transported in a car seat).
What the law says
According to the 2017 edition of the traffic rules, children under 12 years of age must travel in a car in a special restraint device that is suitable for their age and height and weight.
This is interesting. Article 12.23 Part 3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses states that transporting children without special restraint devices is punishable by a fine of 3 thousand rubles.
However, any homemade pillows and pads are not included in the recommended devices for transporting small passengers. In other words, the design to ensure the safety of a child in a car must be certified and also meet or exceed federal or state standard
regarding transportation.
Rules for using a booster depending on the height, weight in kilograms and age of the child
- Like other types of devices designed to carry small passengers, it has clear parameters for use according to the age, height and weight of the child. To understand the features of its use, it’s worth first understanding the categories of restraint devices:
- 0 - car seats for newborns and infants up to six months. Designed for body weight up to 10 kg;
- 0+ - car carriers for babies up to one year old. Designed for body weight up to 13 kg;
- 1 - car seats used from one and a half to 3 years. Can withstand body weight of 9–18 kg;
- 2 - devices for preschoolers from 3 to 7 years old with a weight of 15 to 25 kg;
3 - products for children aged 6–12 years, weighing from 22 to 36 kg.
Sometimes you hear about models with a backrest, but in fact such products are group 2/3 car seats, which, if necessary, can be transformed by removing the back part.
Booster in comparison with other restraint devices (car seat framed and frameless, FEST)
For long trips, the most suitable and comfortable seat will be a frame car seat. In terms of safety indicators, it also ranks first. All other restraint options do not provide lateral protection for the head and body. If we talk about a frameless car seat and FEST, the first device has shown its unreliability during independent tests (the belts that fasten the child break at the moment of a collision), and the second one leads to injuries abdominal cavity
(the belt raised by the adapter passes not over the reeds, but over the passenger’s belly) and does not protect against the diving effect.
Some parents install both a booster and FEST. Such reinsurance is not a violation, but it is not particularly advisable either.

How to choose a booster for your child
When deciding to buy a booster, you need to take into account as many nuances as possible so that the purchase serves you faithfully for several years. To do this, pay attention to the important parameters:
- fastening method;
- the material from which the product is made;
- passenger comfort level.
Mounting methods in the car
The booster can be secured in a car in 2 ways, depending on the device model:
- standard seat belts;
- Isofix system.
Standard seat belts: instructions
In this case, the small passenger himself plays the role of securing the device.
The seat belt must be placed under the booster armrests
Instructions:
- Place the restraint device on the car seat.
- We sit the child down.
- We pass the lower ribbon of the standard belt under the armrests of the booster along the child’s legs.
- Use a diagonal belt to secure the child’s body to the back of the seat.
- We check that the belt does not pass over the passenger's neck.
Video: how to properly install a booster in a car
Isofix system to secure the device in the cabin
If your car has Isofix hinges, then you should choose a booster with the same type of installation. In this case, the rigidity and reliability of the grip of the holding device is ensured by fastening to the car body. In addition, seat belts provide additional protection and support.
Installing a booster on a seat with Isofix is very simple: you need to insert the guides into the brackets located between the backrest and the rear seat cushions until it clicks.
Latch is an American analogue of the European isofix. The difference between this type of installation is that instead of guides, fastening with belts to brackets is used.
The Isofix system provides a more rigid fixation of the device
What is the “pillow” made of: material that manufacturers can use
- Pressed foam. In terms of price, these models compare favorably with others. Many parents are inclined to choose of this type booster also because it is lightweight, that is, you can easily take it with you on a taxi ride. However, sometimes during an accident such a structure breaks, which, of course, will not protect the baby from injury.
- Plastic frame. Provides enough high protection in emergency situations, not too heavy, the price is not much different from foam ones.
- Metal frame. These products have only two disadvantages compared to others - heavy weight and relatively high cost.
The safety class of the booster depends on the material of manufacture. The highest is for devices with a metal frame, the lowest is for foam plastic ones. But in any case, all the parts for higher level protections must have soft pads so that the child does not get injured because of them.
Child's comfort
To evaluate which booster seat is more comfortable, it is recommended to take your child with you, because the products differ in width, length and height. The baby should be soft, comfortable, and even in bulk winter jacket. The fabric with which the device is sheathed is also considered from the same position. Choose breathable material to prevent the passenger from getting too hot in summer. The ideal option is removable covers.
If you plan to travel more or less long distances, then perhaps it makes sense to pay attention to models with additions (for example, coasters for glasses, a table). But often such improvements create more difficulties on the road - the child wants to use all the possibilities, and doing this awkwardly provokes the appearance of stains in the car interior.
Most manufacturers provide a retractable cup holder so that it can be hidden in the case if necessary.
Most parents leave positive reviews about boosters, noting that it is very comfortable for a child to ride in them.
We have a booster. I fasten it in the center with a central belt, the cross fits well, and does not pinch my neck, like an adult. Fixes perfectly, doesn’t even move on sharp turns. It is convenient because it does not hinder the child’s movement, and there are armrests.

Booster operating rules
When purchasing and installing a booster, you must take into account the basic rules and features of its use.
Where to put it: front or rear seat
The booster can be placed on the front or back seat of the car, always in the direction of travel. However, in practice, quite often, road patrol inspectors, taking advantage of the lack of education of citizens, fine for installing a restraint device next to the driver. In this case, you need to refer to Chapter 22.9 of the Traffic Regulations, which describes possible options placement of devices for transporting children, including boosters.
Still, the safest location for any type of restraint for transporting a baby is in the center of the seat, located in the back. It is there that your child will be maximally protected from a side impact, as well as in a frontal collision, when the driver, reflexively obeying the instinct of self-preservation, turns the steering wheel in such a way as to protect himself.
If you fix the booster on the seat next to the driver, then turn off the airbags on this side, as during sudden braking they can deploy and injure the child.
Video: booster crash test in a side impact
Features of use: how to fasten and transport a passenger with maximum safety
There are two ways to secure your child, depending on his weight:
- the lumbar belt goes under both armrests of the booster, and the shoulder belt only on one side, if the baby weighs between 15–25 kg;
- The lumbar belt runs under both booster armrests, and the shoulder belt is located on top of one of them if the passenger's body weight reaches 22 kg.
The position of the shoulder strap depends on the weight of the child
Manufacturers of baby carriers offer booster seats with loops that pull the seat belts further away from the face. They are attached to a diagonal belt behind the passenger's back at shoulder level. But they often burst during an accident, so they do not fulfill their purpose.
Parents-motorists, when going anywhere with their child, must provide him with high level security. When the baby is very small, he is seated in a special chair, which reduces the risk of injury when moving. What to do with a relatively adult child who refuses to travel like a toddler? A booster seat for older children in the car will be an alternative to a car seat; it will give some freedom to a little person aged 3 years and older. Babies love to feel like adults, but still need extra protection.
What is a booster
The design is a car seat without a backrest, which lifts the child so that it is possible to properly fasten the standard car seat belt. When the baby is higher, the belt does not touch the face or squeeze the neck. Without a booster, a standard seat belt does not provide adequate protection and can even lead to greater injury in an accident. Manufacturers offer the following types of adapters for sale:
- Made from foam: they are cheap, have low quality, do not withstand extreme driving and shatter in crash tests.
- Made of plastic: a more reliable design if high-quality raw materials are used to create it.
- Multilayer: the highest quality. They are made of metal, polyurethane and soft upper material – textile.
Advantages and disadvantages
A booster child car seat has a number of advantages:
- Lightweight, compact, easy to install. Good for small cars.
- It is a good alternative to a standard car seat for large children.
- Relatively inexpensive.
The design is not without its shortcomings. A booster seat for children in the car does not provide the same safety as a car seat. Cheap models are simply placed on the seat and are not fixed in any way, i.e., in the event of a sharp push or an accident, the adapter can move around the cabin. The child is at risk of hitting his head on a car window or front seat. Another minus - before selling baby car seat without a backrest is tested according to a simplified scheme.
At what age can a booster be used?
Manufacturers claim that the adapter pillow is suitable for children aged three years and older. However, when choosing, you need to rely on the individual parameters of the baby’s body. Baby booster designed for weights from 15 to 36 kg. Height should reach 120 cm. Parents seat the young traveler on such a seat when he grows out of a standard car seat. If the baby still fits in a classic seat, there is no need to rush to switch to a lightweight version.

How to choose a booster seat for children in the car
Your child’s parameters must meet the stated requirements - age, height, weight. If at least one indicator is below the norm, it is too early to buy a booster for the car. It is advisable to purchase a new adapter pillow; used options may be externally normal, but structurally unsound. It is better to install a booster in the car, which will have a European certificate of quality and safety. Brand manufacturers state this in the description. Such models are more expensive, but this way you will be sure that the child is securely fixed.
