Best Answer

A typical car seat has several built in harnesses and their own internal system of restraints designed to help protect young children who are not yet large enough to be protected by an automobile's traditional seat belts. A booster seat simply helps raise an older child up enough in the seat to be protected by the car's standard safety belt system.

Try reading the information that came with the car seat booster when you bought it.

A car that can hold a booster regular car seat and an infant car seat anything out there that can do that?

I don't think you can purchase something which will serve as a booster seat AND an infant car seat in one, if that's the thing you are after. It is possible to use two seats in one car though, just bear in mind that they should both be in the back and fitted well.


What are the advantages of booster car seats?

A booster car seat is designed for a child's safety. Any child under 80 pounds and under 4'8" should be in a booster seat. These seats make sure that the child is secure while in the car and make sure the car seat belt does not strangle them. This is important because when a car suddenly stops and the seat belt automatically tightens you do not want the child to be crushed by its weight in places like the throat.
