High-back booster seats
3 SILVER CROSS DISCOVERY
Price
£150 Suitable for children from 100cm to 150cm tall
THE DISCOVERY CAN be secured with Isofix mounts or a seatbelt, but other high-back boosters here are easier to fit. We found the Isofix fittings clunky and not as easy to slide out from the seat base as rivals’. Feeding the seatbelt through the shoulder guide was also tricky, and the reclining action was the least smooth of the high-back boosters tested.
A QR code on the seat takes you directly to the fitting directions. You can also find them on the website and app, but the latter requires you to select your seat from a list rather than taking you directly to the relevant information. The Discovery is heavier than others tested (7.8kg), so it’s harder to move around and switch between cars. It’s a good option for larger children, though; it has 10 headrest height positions, the upper sides expand to 57cm and it’s the only seat tested that has adjustable thigh support.
