Bottom line:

The Infasecure Aspire Premium booster seat is Infasecure’s top of the line 4-8 booster seat, and they have loaded it up with all of their best features. On the safety side, it has Infasecure’s Secur-air side head impact protection as well as Air Cocoon Technology. For comfort, it has the premium Active Bamboo wicking fabric to keep your child cooler. And supporting the parent, buyers are automatically enrolled in Infasecure’s Priority Customer Program, which among other things, gives you access to lifetime discount on spare parts and covers.

The downside they are quite narrow internally and it can be hard to thread the seatbelt in the gap under the arm rest.

The seat does have the highest upper height marker in Australia at 57cm – which is even higher than the Britax Kid Guard – but in practical terms your child is probably ready for the regular seat at the top of this marker anyway. And if you were really concerned about safety at around the 8 year old mark, then you’d probably be considering harnessed car seats anyway such as the Britax Maxi Guard PRO.

But in the premium booster seat segment, even at $259, the Infasecure Aspire Premium is one of the better booster seats available.

Who this is for:

Parents looking for an extended age, well-featured booster seat, especially particularly for taller children.
