In recent Which? tests of car seats, the following came out on top:
BEST BOOSTER SEATS (for children up to 36kg/135cm)
W Concord Lift
Protect (£80) There is excellent head support and the base offers good leg support, says Which?. It comes in a wide range of fabrics, all of which are machine washable, and is slightly cheaper than others in this age group.

Concord Lift Evo PT (£90) This seat has side wings that are positioned to give additional support to the abdominal area, which is vulnerable to injury in a crash. Which? says the seat’s adjustable recline angle makes it a snugger fit.
Maxi-Cosi Rodi XP (£90) Which? found this one to offer good belt-mounting and said that it was “easy to position the seatbelt correctly”. It did point out that the seat cover is handwash only (most can be stuck in a machine), but on the safety front it is among the best.
