Bring Home a Booster Seat For Your Growing Child
A booster seat is an important item for your growing family and one that helps your child stay safe while you're driving. A booster is used when your child has outgrown a car seat, but when they aren't quite ready to sit on their own without an added safety device. As your child grows, their needs shift and you can trust that Pottery Barn Kids will be there to help you along nearly every step of the way.
How to Choose the Right Booster Seat
There are plenty of booster options for your child and each offers added safety and comfort. When choosing a booster for your child, keep in mind that things might get messy, so having removable fabric or surfaces that easily wipe down will help you keep things tidy. When choosing your next booster, here are some tips to consider:
- It's important to remember that booster seats are only for children who have outgrown their car seat but aren't old enough or big enough to sit restrained in the car with a seatbelt only. Check the height and weight requirements for your booster before transitioning your child over.
- Choosing the right safety seat for your child, whether a rear-facing car seat, a front-facing car seat or a booster, is important for their safety. So make sure your child is an appropriate age, weight and size for each shift.
- Backless and full boosters are available and while both provide added safety, the full seat has additional padding around the sides and head, meaning your child is even safer.
- Backless boosters are recommended for older children who aren't quite ready to sit on their own yet but have outgrown their full booster.
- Boosters are always used in the back seat and generally don't have to be installed as they use your child's weight and safety belts to stay in place.
Safety and Comfort For Your Child
Boosters aren't just a way to keep your child safer, but they're also a way to ensure that they stay comfortable while you're on the go. Choosing the right size and style of booster means that your child will have the safety and comfort that they deserve. For your next booster seat, think Pottery Barn Kids and trust that you'll find exactly what you need.
