The Vario Booster Seat is tall and narrow with an adjustable headrest that can be extended as the child grows. The headrest has integrated seatbelt guides, so when it’s adjusted to just above the child’s shoulders, it provides an excellent seatbelt fit. The seat is attached to the vehicle with an upper tether strap.
The Vario blow-moulded design results in enhanced side impact protection. The headrest side wings act like airbags, greatly reducing the force on your child’s head in a side-impact crash.
Also available to purchase at the RAA Child Safety Centre and selected RAA shops
Important Information
From 4 to 7 years old, children must use either an approved child safety seat with inbuilt harness or a booster seat with a seatbelt. If the seat is used in a position that only has a lap seatbelt, then an approved child safety harness must be used. It’s important to check your booster seat is compatible with a harness.
As children grow and develop, their height and weight changes considerably. For many 4 year olds, a forward-facing safety seat will still be the right size restraint for them. A booster seat should only be used once the child has outgrown their safety seat by reaching the maximum height for the seat.
A booster is a restraint designed to elevate a child so they can wear a seatbelt correctly while providing side protection from both the vehicle and other passengers. Children travelling in a booster seat should continue using it until they’ve outgrown it, and once they have and can’t fit the adult seatbelt correctly, then you'll need to use a larger booster seat.
