What is a booster seat?

The booster seat is a new concept for parents. When a parent goes to the restaurant and asks for the "booster" it is to "boost" the child so they can sit at an adult table. This is the same concept for the car. The seatbelt design in a car is for adults, the booster seat "boosts" the child up so now they fit the seatbelt.

The short answer is No. Belt-positioning Booster seats are meant to boost children up so that your vehicle's lap and shoulder belts can be positioned properly across your growing child's body. All will require a lap AND shoulder belt for proper use. However, there are alternatives on the market in case you only have a seat with a lap belt available. Take a look at a Forward-Facing or Youth/Toddler seat with a higher maximum weight limit like the Britax Regent.
