Second, Chicco knows that lots of kids suffer from leg fatigue and numbness in booster seats since their feet can’t reach the floor. Instead of rigging up a footrest with a cooler, you can just rely on the cushy, padded Chicco KidFit Zip Air leg rest to keep your kids comfortable! If you plan to fly with this booster seat, you can always detach the leg rest and leave it at home to save space. The biggest downside of the Viaggio Shuttle 120 is the price. Granted it’ll last you for many years, but it doesn’t come cheap. Instead of guessing what kids want in comfortable booster seats, we’ve asked our kids to tell us! Here’s what they’re looking for:

Here’s a booster seat that doesn’t meet a bunch of the requirements I laid out above, but I’ve been so impressed with it for my own kids that I have to mention it here! I actually won the Maxi-Cosi RodiFix in a giveaway and I’m so glad it came into our lives. It has made the perfect first booster seat for our petite girl, who moved into it full-time just before her 7th birthday.

By making the arm rests fairly slim, Peg Perego has also made a booster seat that offers a roomy seating area and a relatively narrow footprint. You might even be able to sneak this in to a 3-across situation, but of course it’ll depend on the details.
