Booster Seat
A booster seat is forward-facing and makes an
excellent option for growing families due to its generally
slimmer design. Boosters are used with your car's
seatbelt instead of an inbuilt harness and are designed
for children from 4 (provided they meet the height
marker) to 8 years old.* Untethered models that sit on
top of the adult car seat usually weigh less than 2.5kg
and can be a great option for other family members or
when you may not have planned on needing a booster.
Modern versions generally have an additional tether
and feature side-impact protection with high backs and
sides that also provide support while your child rests.
What is anti-submarining?
In booster seat mode, anti-submarining, also known as
slide-guard, or SecureGuardTM, is designed to protect
your child's abdominal area from internal injury. It does
this by helping to prevent 'submarining', which is when a
child slides down under the seat belt due to the forces
in an accident.
A slide-guard is used to position the vehicle lap-belt
correctly over the hips and thighs to prevent slumping
and submarining.
When can my child travel without a restraint?
Your child should continue to use a car or booster
seat until they meet the 5 step test. Even if they're
over the legal age to stop using a restraint in the car,
it's important they meet each of these requirements,
including being taller than 145cm, to ensure optimal
security on every trip.
