Peg Perego Shuttle Booster Seat

The Peg Perego Shuttle Booster Seat (Viaggio Shuttle) is a lightweight, backless booster cushion for older children from 125 to 150 cm tall (around 6 to 12 years). It's approved to UN R129/03 (i-Size), and it raises your child so the car's 3-point seat belt sits correctly across their hips and shoulder.

At about 3 kg, with a built-in carry handle, it's easy to move between cars, which makes it a handy option for carpools, holidays, grandparents' cars and older children who've outgrown a high-back booster.

What's in the box

• Viaggio Shuttle booster cushion: With ISOFIX connectors and a cup holder.

Key features

• i-Size (UN R129/03) approved: For children from 125 to 150 cm, chosen by your child's height.
• ISOFIX connectors: Anchor the booster to the car's ISOFIX points, so it stays in place on sharp corners and when your child gets out. It can also be used with the seat belt alone, in cars without ISOFIX.
• Blind Lock: An anti-release system that helps stop the ISOFIX connectors being released by accident, for example by another passenger.
• Dual-layer padding: An energy-absorbing EPS layer underneath, with a softer polyurethane foam layer on top for comfort on long journeys.
• Armrests: Comfortable armrests that also guide the lap belt low across your child's hips.
• Cup holder: For drinks and snacks on the road.
• Carry handle: Built in, so it's easy to grab and move between cars.
• Washable cover: Removable, and hand washable at up to 30°C.

Specifications

Shuttle or Viaggio Flex?

• Choose the Shuttle for older children from 125 cm, or as a light, portable second seat for carpools, travel and other people's cars.
• Choose the Viaggio Flex high-back booster for younger children, or for long journeys. Its backrest, adjustable headrest and side wings add head and side protection, and give a sleeping child somewhere to rest their head.

Good to know

• No back or head support: A backless booster doesn't protect your child's head and upper body in a side impact the way a high-back booster does. That's why i-Size only approves backless boosters for children from 125 cm.
• Your car needs 3-point seat belts: Never use it with a lap-only belt. The car's headrest should be adjusted so it supports the back of your child's head.
• When your child can stop using a booster: Usually once they're about 150 cm tall, and the adult seat belt fits them properly without one.
• Front seat: The back seat is the safest place for children. If you must use the front seat, move the vehicle seat as far back as it will go.

How to care for it

• Remove the cover and hand wash it at up to 30°C with a mild detergent. Air dry it, and don't tumble dry or iron it.
• Wipe the base with a damp cloth.
• Replace the booster after any car accident, even if it looks undamaged.

Safe use

• Always follow the manual and the booster's labels.
• Route the lap belt low across your child's hips, under the armrests, never across the tummy.
• The shoulder belt should cross the middle of your child's shoulder and chest, never their neck, and never behind their back or under their arm.
• Your child should sit upright and back in the seat for the whole journey.
• Remove thick jackets before buckling up, so the belt sits close to the body.
• When it isn't in use, fasten it with the seat belt or ISOFIX, or put it in the boot, so it can't move around in a sudden stop.
• Never leave your child alone in the car.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Keep a Shuttle in the boot for unplanned lifts, like a friend's child after school or a grandparent's car. Just make sure it's only used for children who are at least 125 cm tall, and fit the belt correctly every time.
