Booster car seats (stage 3 car seats) elevate toddlers so they can safely wear a vehicle's seatbelt.

Backless boosters. Clearly distinguishable from a car seat, these booster seats consist of a bottom seat to “boost” your child into the right height, but no back. Since they don’t have backs, these are generally significantly cheaper than high-back boosters.

When your child’s harness becomes too snug, it may be time for them to graduate to a different type of car seat — a “big kid” booster seat. If, like most parents, you don’t have a ton of time to spend on car seat research, you’ve turned to the right place.

Always use a shoulder belt with a booster seat, and make sure it fits snugly across your child's hips and chest. Make sure that you keep the seat buckled in, even if your child isn't in it. Also remember that any car seat that's been in a collision must be replaced, even if it was empty at the time.
