Should I buy a car seat or a booster seat for a 4-year-old?

In traffic laws, it is stipulated that children under 4 years old must use a child safety seat. The precautions for safety seats are as follows: 1. Installation position: Child safety seats cannot be installed in the front passenger seat with an airbag, as the impact force generated when the airbag deploys is extremely powerful and can cause fatal injuries to the child. The most suitable installation position is the rear seat of the car, especially the position behind the driver's seat, which is relatively the safest position in the entire vehicle. 2. The seat belt must remain tight: When securing the child safety seat with the vehicle's seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is retracted to a tight state after installation to keep the safety seat stable. This is because during an accident, the smaller the shaking amplitude, the better the protective effect of the seat on the child. 3. Fabric cover maintenance: Minimize the frequency of washing the fabric cover. Some safety seat covers are made of flame-retardant materials, and frequent washing can weaken the flame-retardant function of these materials. If the cover is not very dirty, it is recommended to wipe it with a damp cloth. If it is stained with urine, feces, or other difficult-to-remove stains, it needs to be removed and washed. Hand washing and natural air drying are recommended.
