My Car Seats knows that when you are carrying young passengers, in your car nothing is more important to you than the safety of your little ones. An uncomfortable child car seat or booster cushions can make your little one feel unhappy, and on a long journey, or sometimes even a short one, they can be very vocal if they are unhappy. The fear of your child getting hurt can be a distraction, and could cause you to lose concentration on the road.

There are several stages in the development of your child at which the type of seat and protection they need in the car changes. When they are very young, they are often recommended to be in an infant car seats or a baby car seats or rear facing car seats. An Infant car seat can often be taken out and used in buggies or as baby carriers and slings to get in and out of the house.
When they are a little older, the child is recommended to be sat in a forward facing car seat. There are also combination car seats available that work in a rear facing position initially and then when the child grows older, they are converted into a forward facing position. At this stage with a combination car seat is less likely that you will be carrying them out of the car any distance so the style and fixings of the seat change slightly. Obviously, because they grow so fast, none of us could keep up with purchasing the number of seats we required for our child if that were the case.
When they finally get to the stage where they are too big to be comfortable in the car seat, it may be time to look at car booster seats or booster cushions. Car booster seats just give the child a little lift from the flat height of the car seat and allow them to use the seat belt safely.
