What is the difference between a harnessed seat and a booster seat?
A. Booster seats differ from a harnessed car seat in that a booster seat, by definition, simply “boosts” the child up so that the vehicle seat belt is positioned correctly across the child’s hips and shoulder. Booster seats rely on the vehicle seat belts to hold both the child and the booster seat in position. Harnessed seats have an internal harness system that is used to restrain the child.
