Dignity and variety of Siger boosters
Modern parents are paying more and more attention to the problem of the safety of the child when traveling in a family car. Protection of the child in such cases provides a special device - child car seat, one of the types of which are boosters.
The boosters of the Siger trademark are gaining more and more popularity, so in this review we will look at their merits and varieties and learn about the experience of their owners.
What is a booster?
A booster is a model of a child car seat, in the design of which the back is not provided. The main task of such a device is to lift the child over the car's seat so that the car's safety belt will fix it securely without causing any discomfort to it. In fact, the booster is a seat with armrests and accessories for mounting it in the cabin. According to the type of material from which they are made, such products are classified into:
- made of foam - the cheapest, but giving a minimum of security;
- made of plastic - a little more expensive, a little more reliable;
- composite - made from layers of fabric, polymers and metal, the most expensive and reliable.
The main advantage of boosters is their cheapness compared to regular child seats, and they are used for children who have reached the age of 3 years. The main drawback of boosters is a lower level of protection compared to classic car seats.
Advantages of the Siger brand
The production of TM Siger car seats was launched in Ryazan in 2008. Since then, the company has established itself as a reliable manufacturer, whose products are more reliable than their Chinese counterparts and at the same time are much cheaper than products of European brands.

- Siger "Meakish Plus" - differs from the previous model in the presence of upholstery on the armrests and a reinforced structure, which led to a slight increase in its mass up to 1.3 kg. This version is worth from 1000 rubles.
- Siger "Booster" - its weight is 1.8 kg, it is attached with a belt, and a characteristic feature is the presence of a belt buckle, which allows the belt to be “customized” to fit the child.

Reviews
Most owners of Siger brand products agree that in terms of price and quality, these boosters outnumber most of the available competitors.The advantage of the Siger "Meakish" model is its ease and cheapness, and the disadvantage, like of all models with belt fastening, is the possibility of fidgeting around the cabin. The advantage of the model Siger Booster Fix most of its owners call the high quality and reliability of the materials used.
Most reviewers also consider IsoFix to be an advantage, and a disadvantage - too big, as for a booster, weight. Some users complain about the possibility of a gap between the seat of the Siger Booster Fix model and the back of the car seat, which can reach 5 cm and cause the child some inconvenience. Occasionally there is criticism that the upholstery fabric of this model is too stiff.
