Toddler booster seats all look very similar but may be different due to any added features. Cup holders seems to be a popular added feature with booster seats.

This results in the car seat lasting much longer for your child.
You may find yourself thinking about why toddler booster seats have to be used. The reason your child still needs to use a child restraint is so that the adult vehicle seat belt is safe for them. The booster seat simply gives your child the 'boost' they need to get them positioned at the right height for the seat belt If it wasn't for the booster seat elevating your child, the seat belt would be very uncomfortable and dangerous for them. There would also be the possibilty of your child choking if the seat belt was to sit firmly across their neck and not their shoulder. It is important that the seat belt sits across your child's shoulder, and never across their neck. Toddler booster seats are very important to give your child the 'boost' they need for being able to use the seat belt safely.
