Child booster seats

[smuudge]

Hello all,
Reviewing our child seat situation.
Can anyone clarify if my daughter has to be on a child seat WITH back or can she just have a booster cushion? She is 125cm and 28kg in weight. As I understand it she can use just a cushion, but kean to know if any blues out there can lend first hand advice!

Just typed "Child safety seat" into Google and there is tons of information out there. I can't be bothered to copy and paste the relevant bits for you but would suggest that would be a good place to start looking.

Yep done that and got lost in a mindfield of EU legislation. Can’t see anything specifically about wether a back on the booster cushion is required by law..

Very first hit for me had all the relevant information.

Just booster seat is fine. Full seat with backrest is better.

Backless booster seat OK.

Look at Group 3 in the table, which corresponds to your child's weight. Booster seats are listed.

Backless booster is legal but for full safety a proper chair is better as it has side impact protection for body and head. After 135cm they don't need anything.
