Maxi-Cosi RodiSport Booster Seat Review

The RodiSport is built to last and transforms from an infant booster with a high back to one without a booster. This allows your not-so little one to ride in safety until he or she is ready to sit in the vehicle's seat. The 7-position headrest can be adjusted with one hand and can be adjusted to keep up with the growth spurts.

Safety

A good booster can make your child’s journey safer. When conducting IIHS testing of booster seats, engineers use a dummy that is sized for children to determine how well three-point lap and shoulder belts fit in various vehicle seats. They also evaluate how easy it is to use the seat, including whether it's easy to get a good belt fit and switch between high-back booster mode and backless booster modes.

If your child is facing the rear until they reach age 4, a top-rated booster can keep them secure. Choose an adult booster seat with slimmer lines that can accommodate multiple seats in your vehicle.

The best booster seats come with adjustable headrests that ensure a secure fit, and they can be reclined to accommodate the growing body of your child. The top booster seats feature torso side-impact protection to safeguard your child's brain in the case of an accident.

The 'R129/03' or the 'E1' identifies which regulation it follows (R129 also known as iSize), while the last two digits are linked with the government's testing reports. Car seats that adhere to an older standard, R44, will be eliminated on September 1, 2024.
