A child seatThis was the right answer

An under-three child normally needs an approved child car seat suitable for their height or weight, fitted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A booster cushion is not automatically suitable for a young child. Height-based seats must face rearwards until the child is over 15 months. Never put a rear-facing seat in front of an active frontal airbag.
