Convertible booster seats are a great long-term option for growing kids, transitioning from a harnessed seat to a booster as they get bigger. At Baby Bunting, we have a range of options to keep every journey safe and comfortable.
What Are Convertible Booster Seats?
A convertible booster seat starts as a forward-facing harnessed seat and later transitions into a booster using the car’s seatbelt. This design means one seat can last from early toddlerhood through to approximately 8 years old, making it a practical and cost-effective choice. Baby Bunting stocks a variety of well-loved models from Britax, Maxi-Cosi, and Infasecure.
Why Choose a Convertible Booster Seat?
- Long-Term Use – Designed for children from around 12 months to 8 years (model-dependent).
- Harnessed Safety –It provides suitability for use in the early years.
- Cost-Effective – One seat can replace the need for a couple of seats over time
Key Safety Features
Like every car seat in Australia, convertible boosters also feature:
- Five-Point Harness – Secures your child at the shoulders, hips, and between the legs (only usable to 4 years of age approximately).
- Adjustable Harness & Height Adjustable – Ensures proper positioning as your child grows.
