Car seats save a lot of children’s lives every year, all around the world. They are often considered to be as effective as seat belts. And until a kid is big enough for an adult car seat, he needs up to four different safety seats to be able to ride in a vehicle.

Children are very fragile and the younger they are, the more support they need. This is why the older they get, the less and less safety features their car seat will have. For example, when you switch your child from an infant seat to a convertible, the head support, and infant body pillows are gone.

Then when your kid is ready for a booster seat, the five-point harness is not needed anymore. This allows children to feel like “big kids” and give them more freedom.

Boosters are also not only the cheapest among safety seats but the easiest to use as well. Your kid will be able to install the car seat, get in, and buckle up all by himself.

Although a lot of parents question their importance, Boosters are the oldest type of safety seats ever made. Their manufacturing began in early 1930 and was meant to “boost” a child’s height, as the name suggests.

They have the same job now, while also having a lot more safety features. One of the most important ones is making sure the seatbelt is positioned across the child’s chest. This allows the car’s integrated seatbelt to keep the child as safe as possible.

Boosters come in various forms and weights. This means you have to be extra careful when buying one. And if you think the purchased one is not safe enough, just return it.

What To Look For In A Booster?

There are a lot of things to consider when buying a new booster. One of them is being sure that the car seat is indeed new. Second-hand products may be much cheaper but you shouldn’t trust their durability. After all, we’re talking about your child’s safety seat.

After a while, a car’s seat safety features start degrading, making the item unable to sustain any damage. This is why you should be careful about the manufacturing date as well.

Infant and convertible car seats should only be used if they have a five-point harness that can keep the child safely secured. Boosters, on the other hand, don’t have any type of harness. The car’s integrated seatbelt is the one that keeps both the booster and your child in place.

However, you should still opt for a booster that has the “Seatbelt Guide” feature. This will allow you to secure the seatbelt in a lower position so it will properly fit your kid. Sometimes the boost that a booster offers is not enough to have the seatbelt placed right across a short child’s chest.

There are two different types of boosters, High-Back and Backless. The High-Back Booster is ideal for cars that have reclined seats and no good headrests. But if your car has heavily contoured seats and good headrests, you should opt for a Backless Booster. A combination of both is ideal if you’ll switch the seat from car to car.

Every child safety car seat should have a Side Impact Protection, Energy-Absorbing Foam, and at least one cup holder. It should also be foldable if you travel.

In this article, we’ll talk about the Peg Perego Viaggio Shuttle Plus 120.

Description

Peg Perego Viaggio Shuttle Plus Specs

The Peg Perego Viaggio Shuttle Plus 120 is a Booster that features a 3D Total Adjust Technology. This means that you can adjust three different parts of this child safety seat for a proper fit. Then you won’t have to worry about having an uncomfortable child on a family road trip.

This Booster is made by the famous Peg Perego. The company is an Italian manufacturer that focuses on designing, developing, and making juvenile products. This includes child safety car seats, high chairs, strollers, and children’s ride-on-toys.

Peg Perego was founded in the 50s by Giuseppe Perego that was slowly becoming famous for his baby carriage products. Now the company has offices in the U.S., Brazil, and Canada.

The Peg Perego Viaggio Shuttle Plus 120 is a High-Back Booster that allows you to easily detach the back. This means that you can use it as both a high-back and a backless booster. While experts recommend a backless booster, they’re not for every type of car.

If your car’s seats have low backs and no decent headrests that can safely support a child, then go for a high-back booster. In case of an accident, a child needs a smaller version of an adult seat that can keep them safe. This is why you’ll notice that there isn’t much of a difference between a normal car seat and a booster.

However, you can confidently use the Backless Booster is your car’s seats are heavily contoured. They also must have big and safe headrests that can protect the head and neck in case of a collision. Your car’s seats should also have a high back. Otherwise, the child doesn’t have all the protection he’ll need.

The Peg Perego Viaggio Shuttle Plus 120 allows you to adjust its headrest, upper back, and side wings. This means that every time your child grows a little and needs more space, you can safely adjust the height and width of the booster.

Thanks to the Aluminum-Reinforced Backrest, your kid will have his head and neck extra protected in case of an accident. When a collision happens, the head travels much too fast and can sustain numerous irreversible injuries. This backrest will try to keep as many crash forces away from him.

Boosters can’t usually be attached to the car in any way, the harness keeps everything in place. This might make the booster wave from side to side when you drive on rough roads.

However, with its Integrated Rigid LATCH, you can easily install this car seat and enjoy its great stability. And when it’s not in use, you can tuck it under the seat.

And to make sure that the seat won’t be accidentally released by another passenger, it features a Blind Lock Attaching System. Then you’ll be able to enjoy your journey without worrying about the booster staying put.

Thanks to its All-Side Impact Protection, the kid’s head, neck, and spine will be extra protected. And in case of a collision, the backrest with adjustable side wings and wide headrest will keep your little one safe.

No matter if you choose to use this Booster as High-Back or Backless, it can support children from 40 to 120lbs and 63in tall. Your child will also have a conveniently-placed cup holder within his hands reach.

The cover is easy to remove and machine-washable. And the rest of the booster can be cleaned with a soft cloth.
