Booster seats help kids travel safely by ensuring an adult vehicle seat belt fits the child's smaller frame. With many options available, your child must be 4 to begin using a booster, with most being suitable up to age 8, whilst others are suitable to age 10 (all exit ages are approximate). Baby Bunting offers a trusted range of booster seats to keep your little one safe and sound.
Keeping your little one safe in the car is a top priority—and a booster seat makes it easy! Think of it as giving them a little boost to keep them comfy and secure.
At Baby Bunting, we know how important it is to find the perfect seat, so we stock a range of trusted brands that make car rides safer and more comfortable for your growing family.
Why Choose a Booster Seat?
As kids grow, their car seat needs change. Australian laws recommend that children must continue using an appropriate child car seat until they either "pass the 5-step test" or are at least 145cm tall.
How to Choose the Right Booster Seat
Finding the right booster seat is all about making sure it suits your child and your car. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Height Limits – Every child grows at their own pace, so check the seat’s height recommendations to ensure a snug and secure fit.
- Vehicle Fit – Some booster seats take up more space than others. If you have multiple car seats in the back, look for a slimline option that allows easy access to seatbelt buckles.
- Extra Features – Adjustable headrests, comfort recline, side torso wings with width adjustment and sash guide clips for belt retention.
