I would like to talk about booster car seats for a moment. These are designed to keep your child safe when they are too small for your car's safety belts but too large for an infant or convertible seat. Note, for small kids, there are child care seats, but we won't get into that.

Combination car seats/booster seats grow with your kid. There seats have a 5-point harness which includes two shoulder bands, two hip bands and a crotch strap and they all clip together to hold your baby in place to better secure children under 40 pounds.

After 40 pounds, they can work as belt-positioning boosters. Children with a weight over 40 pounds might not need a combination seat. They can go into a standard booster only seat, which works by positioning the adult safety belt to fit the kid properly.

Belt positioning booster car seats (seats that properly situate the car's seat belt over the child's hip and shoulder bones, instead of his ore vulnerable neck and belly) are offered also in low back and high-back versions. Some even come with a back which could be taken off.

High-back models offer expanded polystyrene or expanded polyproplen (a crash-protection foam for their head restraints and side-impact protection. Overall, experts state kids must stay in a booster car seat until they are at least 80 pounds. If you should crash, children only properly secured by the car's seat belt could slip under the belt, which is the reason experts recommend a car booster seat with a belt positioning system to elevate the child in the proper height to correctly use the car's lap/shoulder belts.

As outlined by ConsumerReports.org, the only reviewer which performs independent crash testing, they offer a book called 'Baby Bargains' which covers virtually all sorts of baby gear you would need.
