Best Booster Seats for Kids

More than 350 five-star ratings confirm that this parent-approved option is ideal for someone looking for a booster that grows with their child. The Chicco KidFit 2-in-1 booster seat is designed for children ages four and up. It fits kids up to 110 pounds and adjusts easily from a highback booster with extra support for the neck and head to a backless booster as the child grows.

The low price isn’t the only thing to love about Evenflo’s Big Kid AMP Booster Seat. It has six height positions and converts from highback to backless chair to grow with your child. It has a machine-washable seat pad for easy cleaning and is recommended for kids from 40 to 110 pounds.

Are you looking for a booster that you can use from the time your child weighs 22 pounds up to 120 pounds? Consider Graco’s Nautilus SnugLock Booster Seat, a three-in-one option that receives high crash test ratings from Consumer Reports and “Best Bet” rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). It has a frame reinforced by steel and foam.

The extended back on the Graco Highback TurboBooster Seat provides additional support, which adds comfort on long trips. The wings provide added protection from side impacts, and the seat belt guide makes sure the belt is at the ideal position on your child’s shoulders and hips. When your child wants to feel more independent, the back can be removed, transforming it into a backless option.

If you’re considering a road trip, look for a seat built for long rides like the Evenflo Maestro Sport Harness Booster Seat, which features two integrated cup holders to keep snacks and beverages close at hand. The plush cover is removable and easy to machine wash. This grow-with-you seat has a five-point harness for kids up to 50 pounds and an adjustable shoulder belt guide.

No rumples, no creases, no marks. Cosco’s Topside Backless Booster Seat is designed to leave your seats mark-free once your child outgrows the seat. It also comes in handy if you’re using the seat in a rental or borrowed vehicle. Plush padding adds comfort while the compact, lightweight design makes it easy to switch between vehicles.

Britax’s patented ClickTight design makes installing the Britax Frontier ClickTight Booster Seat as simple as buckling a seat belt. In addition to the confidence of knowing your child’s booster seat is installed correctly, this booster grows with your child up to 120 pounds. It features mesh fabric in a variety of colors for style and comfort.

If an inflatable booster sounds too good to be true, you should check out the BubbleBum Inflatable Backless Booster, which earned the IIHS’s “Best Bet” rating for more than eight consecutive years. It’s made with memory foam, which absorbs impacts and provides added stability and structure to protect children. It’s lightweight and inflates and deflates quickly.

When portability is a priority, consider the Mifold Grab and Go Booster Seat. Small enough to keep in your bag or glove compartment, this portable booster unfolds and positions children for safe use of your vehicle’s seat belts. Despite its innovative design, Mifold meets the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s standards. It’s ideal for travel within the United States, but not outside of the country.

Made for older children up to 57 inches tall and weighing 40 to 100 pounds, the Graco Affix Booster Seat offers an affordable, safe option for anyone watching their budget. It uses a one-hand, front-adjust latch system for security and safety. It also features a storage compartment, cup holder, and machine-washable cover to easy cleaning.
