Outstanding features include fixed headrest for maximum safety and comfort, and integrated headrest speakers - so your child can listen to his or her own audio without disturbing others. Extensive backrest height, shoulder width and seat cushion length adjustments ensure a safe sitting position as your child grows. Excellent choice of colours. Not cheap! But it grows with your child (4-11 Years old) - so it should be the only booster seat you ever need. |
