Infants
Designed so that in the event of a collision,
impact forces will be evenly spread over
the baby’s back, with minimal jarring to
the vulnerable head and neck area.
Young children
For use when the child is able to sit and
easily hold his or her head upright. It is
also possible to purchase convertible
seats which can be used as a rearward
facing child restraint or converted to a
forward facing child seat.
Booster seats are for when children
outgrow a typical forward-facing child seat
but they are still too small for lap/sash
seatbelts. A booster seat raises the child
so that the knees bend comfortably, the
lap/sash seatbelt is correctly positioned
and the child can see out the window. A
rigid booster seat with a back, side wings
and sash guide gives the best protection.
