Child Booster Seats and Forward Facing Car Seats: Everything You Need to Know
Maxi-Cosi booster seats are a popular choice for growing Australian families for children whose shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker (approx. 4 years of age) until your child’s shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker (approx. 8 years of age).
When you’re looking at buying a car seat or slim booster seat for older, bigger children, it’s important to know the differences between the two types available before you hit the shops.
Booster seats in Australia are designed to provide side impact protection, but their primary function is to correctly position the vehicle seat belt to safely restrain the child. Booster seats are held in place by the child’s own body and the vehicle's lap-sash seat belt. It is the vehicle seat belt that is the actual restraining device on your child’s booster seat.
A forward-facing car seat like our Luna Pro enables children to continue to use an in-built 6-point harness system up until the age of 8 years old, this is a perfect solution for parents that want to keep their older children completely restrained for longer.
Below is an easy guide to help you navigate between the two, so you can decide what’s best for you.
Child Booster Seats vs Car Seats: Choose What's Best For Your Child
We all know that children grow at different rates and there can be huge discrepancies with weight and heights at various ages. Choosing the right booster seat or car seat for your child is absolutely imperative to their safety.
Even if your child has reached 4 years of age, they might not be comfortable or ready to sit in a booster seat in your car. We recommend that you restrain your child in a forward-facing seat with a harness until they have reached the size restrictions no matter their age.
