Can a booster cushion also be used without the backrest?
The minimum requirements under the ECE R 44/03 and 44/04 Standard allow the use of a booster cushion, without the use of a backrest, for children from 15 kg upwards. Normally, booster cushions offer sufficient lateral support in the lap area, but not in the head and upper body area. The use of a booster cushion/backrest combination, however, complies with the latest findings in child safety engineering, as well as providing good side impact protection. The head and body of the child are protected laterally, which is not only safer in the event of an accident, but also ergonomically more comfortable when your child falls asleep in the seat. Additionally, the integral belt guide in the backrest guarantees that the shoulder belt is positioned correctly over the shoulder to suit the height of the child.
