VELANO car boosters — for children who have grown up
A car booster is the next step after a full car seat: it lifts the child so the car's own seat belt sits correctly — across the shoulder and hips, not the neck and stomach, where it is dangerous in a crash. By the rules a booster is intended for children from 22 kg and roughly 125 cm tall, that is once your child confidently sits for the whole journey without slumping or sliding down. The range includes compact backless cushions for occasional trips and a highback booster seat that adds side head protection, supports a sleeping child better and guides the diagonal belt more precisely. If you're unsure whether it's time to switch to a booster, check our guide to choosing a car seat, which includes a height and weight table.
Models with an ISOFIX booster connection lock firmly to the body of the car and don't slide around when your child gets out — safer and more convenient than a loose cushion that can shift. Before buying, we recommend re-reading the current rules for transporting children to avoid a fine and to know exactly until what age a booster is mandatory. If your child isn't ready for a booster by height and weight, head back to our car seats with a full shell; and for feeding at home, our high chairs will help. We welcome shops and marketplace sellers — wholesale is available too.
FAQ
At what age and weight can a child use a booster?
A child can use a booster from around 6 years, 22 kg and 125 cm in height. Before that, a full car seat is needed because the car's belt still sits across the neck and stomach. The key sign of readiness is that your child sits confidently for the whole journey without slumping, with the belt running across the shoulder and hips.
Can a booster be used without a backrest?
A backless booster is allowed for children from 22 kg and 125 cm tall, but a highback model is safer: it provides side head protection in a crash, guides the diagonal belt correctly and supports a sleeping child better. A backless booster cushion is best reserved for occasional, infrequent trips with an older child.
How is a booster different from a car seat?
A booster simply lifts the child so the car's own belt sits correctly, whereas a car seat has its own shell and five-point harness that hold the child. A car seat suits younger children and offers more protection, while a booster is the next step for older children from 22 kg who have outgrown the seat by height and weight.
Is a booster seat safe for a child?
Yes, a booster is safe once your child has grown into it by age, height and weight — from 6 years, 22 kg and 125 cm. It raises the child so the car's belt runs across the shoulder and hips rather than the neck and stomach. Highback models add side head protection and are considered safer than backless cushions.
Do you need ISOFIX for a booster?
ISOFIX is not required for a booster, because the child is held by the car's own seat belt rather than the connector itself. However, an ISOFIX booster is more convenient and safer: it locks firmly to the car body and doesn't shift when your child gets out. A backless cushion without ISOFIX can slide, so the connection adds stability.
