What is a Harness-2-Booster seat?

A Harness-2-Booster seat is also known as a combination seat. It is a forward-facing ONLY seat with a five-point

harness that can later be removed and then used as a belt-positioning booster seat.

Why would someone use a Harness-2-Booster seat?

It is best to keep your child in a car seat with a five-point harness as long as possible. Some parents who have

multiple children will pass their older child’s convertible car seat on to their next child. Rather than moving their

older child into a booster seat prematurely, they will purchase a harness-2-booster (combination) seat that will allow

them to stay restrained by a five-point harness longer. Once their child has outgrown the harness capacity of the seat,

they can remove the harness system and continue to use the seat as a belt-positioning booster seat.
