Why Choose a Backless Booster Car Seat?
The main purpose of a Backless Booster Car Seat is to raise your child so the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belts fit correctly over their body’s strongest points — the hips, upper thighs, and chest — rather than the stomach or neck. This significantly reduces the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
Suitable for:
-
Children weighing between 15 kg and 36 kg
-
Typically used from around 8 to 12 years old (but may be needed until 10–11 years old for proper belt fit)
-
Children up to 4 ft 9 in (145 cm) in height
Safety Benefits
Studies show that children in booster seats are 45% less likely to be injured in a crash compared to those using a seat belt alone. Our backless booster is engineered to:
-
Ensure correct belt positioning to reduce the chance of abdominal or neck injuries.
-
Provide stability during travel — with the option to secure some models using lower anchors or a top tether for added safety.
-
Keep your child seated at the right height without restricting upper body movement, encouraging comfort and proper posture.
Comfort & Convenience
Our Backless Booster Car Seat is lightweight and compact, making it easy to transfer between vehicles, store when not in use, and carry during travel. The contoured seat base provides comfort for longer journeys, and most models include padded armrests.
When to Transition to a Backless Booster Car Seat
Your child should switch to a Backless Booster Car Seat when they have outgrown their forward-facing harness seat. Signs it’s time to transition include:
-
Reaching the top weight or height limit for the harness seat (check the seat’s manual).
-
Shoulders are above the top harness slots.
-
Ears have reached the top of the seat’s shell.
Once your child can sit correctly for the entire trip — without slouching or leaning out of position — they’re ready for a backless booster.
Installation Tips for the Backless Booster Car Seat
-
Always follow both the booster seat manual and your vehicle owner’s manual.
-
Position the seat directly on the vehicle seat cushion.
-
Use the provided belt-positioning clip or guide to ensure correct lap and shoulder belt placement.
-
Lap belt should lie low and snug across the upper thighs.
-
Shoulder belt should rest midway across the chest and shoulder, not the neck.
