Rent Britax Romer Evolva Booster
The Britax Romer Evolva is designed to grow with your child, accommodating them from 9 to 36 kg.
With its 5-point harness, performance chest pads, and highback booster protection, the Britax Romer Evolva ensures maximum safety for your child from 9 months to 12 years.
Features of the Britax Romer Evolva Booster Seat
- Highback Booster Protection: The Britax Romer Evolva highback booster protects your child in three ways. The seat shell offers head-to-hip protection, especially in the event of a side impact. The upper and lower belt guides ensure the correct positioning of the seat belt, while the padded headrest provides safety and comfort for your child’s head and neck.
- 5-Point Harness: The Britax Romer Evolva features a 5-point harness, considered the safest way to secure your child in a car seat. It keeps your child safe within the seat’s protective shell, distributing the forces of an impact across five points—two at the shoulders, two at the hips, and one where the harness buckles between the legs. This design helps protect your child from all directions of impact.
- Performance Chest Pads: The performance chest pads on the Britax Romer Evolva provide added comfort and help reduce forward movement in a frontal collision. These pads also help distribute the forces of an impact more evenly across your child’s shoulders and chest, with extra care given to protecting the delicate neck area.
- Easy Adjustable Headrest and Harness: The Britax Romer Evolva comes with a padded headrest and harness that can be easily adjusted with one hand to fit your child’s height. Before installing the seat in your car, ensure the headrest is positioned just above your child’s shoulders for optimal safety.

Booster seats are essential for older children who have outgrown their forward-facing seats. A booster ensures that the vehicle's seat belt fits properly, providing crucial safety as your child grows.
When to Use a Booster Seat
Children whose weight or height exceeds the limits for a forward-facing car safety seat should transition to a belt-positioning booster seat. This typically happens when they reach 4 feet 9 inches in height and are between 8 and 12 years old. However, most children won't properly fit in a vehicle's seat belt without a booster until they are 10 to 11 years old.
It's recommended that all children under the age of 13 should ride in the back seat for added safety.
Signs Your Child Has Outgrown a Forward-Facing Seat
A child has outgrown their forward-facing seat when:
- They reach the top weight or height allowed for the seat with a harness (these limits are found on the seat and in the instruction manual).
- Their shoulders are above the top harness slots.
- The tops of their ears have reached the top of the seat.
Types of Booster Seats
There are two standard types of booster seats: high-back and backless.
- Both types do not come with harness straps but are used with the vehicle's lap and shoulder seat belts, similar to how an adult rides.
- These seats are designed to raise a child so that the seat belt fits correctly over the strongest parts of their body.
Most booster seats rest on the vehicle seat and are held in place once the seat belt is fastened over the child.
However, some models can be secured to the vehicle seat using lower anchors or a top tether for additional stability.
Installation Tips for Booster Seats
When installing a booster seat, always refer to both the vehicle owner's manual and the car seat manual for specific instructions.
- Booster seats often come with a plastic clip or guide to help position the vehicle's lap and shoulder belts correctly.
- Ensure the lap belt lies low and snug across your child's upper thighs and the shoulder belt crosses the middle of your child's chest and shoulder without touching the neck.
If your booster seat has lower anchors or top-tether attachments, follow the manual's instructions for proper installation.
