car seat
Toddler's travel throne
A car seat is a seat in an automobile, but the term usually refers specifically to a child safety seat—a padded restraint system designed to protect infants and young children during travel: We need to install the car seat before we bring the baby home.
Laws in most places require children under certain ages or weights to ride in car seats.
