WHEN IS A CHILD READY
TO TRANSITION TO A BOOSTER SEAT?
Many parents confuse the words “car seat” and “booster
seat”. It is important to understand the dierence between
a car seat and a booster seat.
A car seat is a seat the child sits in and uses a 5-point harness
as their restraint.
A booster seat is a seat the child sits on and uses the
vehicle's seat belt as their restraint.
This Viaggio Flex 120 is a booster seat.
Booster seats are for kids who are too big for their car seat
and too small to t properly in a seat belt. Booster seats help
the child’s body t properly on the vehicle seat. Booster
seats make the seat belt start and stay on the correct bony
parts of the child's body.
It isn't a coincidence that boosters make kids taller. By
raising the child up, boosters help the shoulder belt t
properly between the shoulder and the neck. By raising
the child up and giving the child a shorter seat pan, the
child's knees can now bend at the edge of the booster. This
makes kids much less likely to slouch.
