child restraint

Toddler travel protection

A child restraint is a device designed to secure a child safely in a vehicle—car seats, booster seats, and harnesses that protect young passengers in crashes.

Laws typically require child restraints until a certain age or weight: The officer cited her for not having a proper child restraint.

The term also applies to safety harnesses in strollers, high chairs, and shopping carts.
