child restraints

Buckled booster seats

Child restraints are devices designed to secure children safely in vehicles—car seats, booster seats, and harnesses that protect small bodies in crashes.

Laws typically require them for passengers under a certain age or weight: State law requires child restraints for anyone under eight years old.

The term also applies to safety equipment in strollers, high chairs, and other contexts where children need securing.
