If a child is using either a toddler only seat, or a 'convertible' infant/toddler seat, its time to transition the child into a booster seat when he or she has outgrown the existing seat restraints (usually at about 40 pounds), but is not yet ready for just seat belts (the minimum height recommended for a child to start using just seat belts is 4'9"). These seats can typically accommodate a child from 30 to 100 pounds (usually 4 to 8 years of age). Child car seat manufacturers are bound by very strict guidelines, and you may be surprised to find that some of the more expensive seats don't provide any better level of protection than those which are more moderately priced.
Many State laws require children to be in a safety seat only up to age 4 or so, and many parents assume that children who are older than this will be safely restrained by just an adult safety belt. This, however, is not the case. An automobile's seat belt system is designed for use by adults, not small children, and it usually will not fit a child properly. A booster seat is designed to improve the fit of the vehicle's safety belt system across the child's body, for greater comfort and safety. (These seats should never be positioned in front of an air bag, as deployment of the bag can cause serious (even fatal) injuries to a child.)
Convertible Stroller
Booster seats are available with either a "high back" or a "low back". High back seats should always be used in cars without headrests, or with low seats, both to provide the child with a comfortable place to rest his or her head, and to provide protection against "whiplash" in an accident. Low back seats are generally cheaper than high back seats, and are easier to move from car to car, but should only be used in cars with headrests and high seat backs.
High back seats are often available with a 5 point harness (when car seats are not being used with a harness, they are considered being used in the "belt positioning" mode). Using a harness is generally the safest way to restrain a child, and it is recommended that, if a harness is used, it be used until the child outgrows it (usually at about 40 pounds). There are also 'convertible' toddler/booster seats available. These seats can be used for children from the time they are ready to start using a toddler car seat until they are ready to start using just the car seats belts.
Booster seats are designed to raise the child up so that the lap and shoulder seat belts fit properly. Belt positioning seats must always be used with a car's lap and shoulder belt (never with a lap only belt). The car seat will raise a child so the lap belt goes over the child's pelvis and hips (instead of his or her abdomen), and the shoulder belt crosses the middle of the child's chest and shoulder (the seat may have a clip that can be adjusted to ensure that the shoulder belt does not cross the child's face or neck).

Starting with the infant phase all the way to accommodating a younger sibling, the BRITAX B-READY Stroller is able to adapt to the changing needs of a growing family. You can start to safely transport a newborn in the stroller using the BRITAX CHAPERONE Infant Car Seat (sold separately) with the CLICK & GO integrated infant car seat adapter (included). And, it is compatible with other major infant car seat brands when used with the BRITAX Infant Car Seat Adapter Kit (sold separately). The top seat is reversible, with three reclining positions, so that children can start in the rear-facing position and then switch to forward-facing as they grow older.
Best of all, the B-READY is designed to convert to an in-line, double stroller so it can accommodate another child with ease. Whether you need to transport dual infant car seats for twins or a bassinet and second seat for a newborn and older sibling, the stroller can be converted into 14 different configurations with the use of optional accessories, such as the B-READY Second Seat (sold separately).
Safety and Comfort Features
Ideal for parents and caretakers seeking a safe, comfortable stroller, the B-READY features a five-point harness; a quilted, suede-like, adjustable head pad; and four-point suspension. Busy parents and caregivers will appreciate that the padded, reflective harness can be adjusted without the need to re-thread, while the four-point suspension provides a smooth, comfortable ride.
For additional versatility, the three-position recline and adjustable calf rest allow you to tilt back the stroller's seat when your baby falls asleep during a long walk. A large canopy with a sun visor blocks harmful UV rays from reaching your child's sensitive skin and a ventilation window offers circulation so your child will ride in comfort. In addition, the stroller includes a rain cover that fits neatly in the under-seat storage for those unexpected showers.
Convenient Features for Adults and Children
It's easy to fold the B-READY, thanks to its unique, simple fold design and automatic chassis lock. You can even fold the stroller with two seats left intact--a thoughtful, time-saving feature. A one-foot, one-motion brake with an indicator locks and unlocks both rear wheels with a simple press of a single foot pedal. The ergonomically-designed handle allows you to quickly adjust the handle height, while the comfort grips and one-hand steering allow for easy maneuverability for extended periods of time.
The large, under-seat storage basket is ideal for holding diaper bags, purses, and grocery items, and can be accessed from all four sides. A removable storage bag with insulated drink holders is also included. The B-READY features an adult cup holder, essential for holding your water bottle.
Easy to Clean; Available in a Variety of Colors
The B-READY is made from durable materials and is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. It's available in a selection of bold, solid colors, including Red, Black, Silver, and Green, to fit your taste and preference.
The BRITAX B-READY Stroller is backed by a limited two-year warranty.
