  • Patent number: 11259650
    Abstract: A booster seat can be configured to be adjusted from a full or home booster configuration to a travel configuration or a backless booster configuration. In the full configuration, the booster seat can include a seat base, a seat shell movably coupled to and configured to recline with respect to the seat base, a seat back removably coupled to the seat shell, and soft goods that cover portions of the seat back and the seat shell. In the travel configuration, for example, the booster seat can include the seat back and soft goods without the seat shell and the seat base. In the backless booster configuration, the booster seat can include the seat base and the seat shell without the seat back (e.g., decoupling the seat back from the seat shell). Multiple modes of the booster seat allows for continued use of the seat as the child grows and when travelling.
