I would go for a highback booster. They are much safer as they offer side impact protection and make sure that the belt sits nicely across the childs sholders. The 'bottom only' boosters offer no side protection and offten u find the belt sits across the childs neck which is not only uncomfortable but also very dangerous. HBB are much more comfy for the child. I have 2 one for DN age 4 and one for DS age 9.
