Did you know that the regulations about booster seats have recently changed?<\/h2>\r\nWe’ve done some research on what exactly has changed and how it will affect families with little ones.<\/strong>\r\n

New (and old) rules<\/h3>\r\nFrom December 2016, backless booster seats are only approved for children\u00a0weighing more than 22kg or taller than 125cm, whereas before children as young as 3, or 15kg, could use them. That means the age of the children\u00a0using backless booster seats rises to around 7 \u00a0years old.\r\n

How does it affect you?<\/h3>\r\nBackless booster seats are now\u00a0only approved for older children. However, these regulations only apply to new products, so if you already have an existing booster seat you are able to use it without breaking any laws.\u00a0However, it is recommended that you buy \u00a0your child a high-backed booster seat to improve their protection.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Best deals on car seats<\/h3>\r\nRemember to use KidStart when buying your new booster seat for your children and you will get money back for them. You can get them on Amazon<\/a><\/strong> from \u00a327 and receive 2% back, on Mothercare<\/a><\/strong> from \u00a385 and get 3% back, and many others<\/a><\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe best deal we’ve found is\u00a0this Maxi-Cosi Pebble Group car seat<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0– it’s currently \u00a336 off!\r\n
