Forward facing seats (or as some would have called them harnessed booster seats) are a great way to keep your little one safe and snug as you explore the world around you. At Baby Bunting, we offer a wide range of forward-facing seats designed for safety, comfort, and convenience.

What is a forward facing Seat?

When your child is ready to move on from a rear-facing car seat. A forward facing seat is the perfect next step. Suitable for children from around 12 months to 8 years old, we stock beloved brands such as Britax, Infasecure, and Maxi-Cosi, offering an extensive selection to keep your child safe on the road.

Why Choose a Forward facing Seat?

• Extra Security – The 6-point harness helps distribute impact forces more effectively than a seatbelt alone.
• Long-Term Use – Designed for children from 12 months to 8 years, adjusting as they grow.
• Better Fit – Provides a snug and supportive fit.
