Since you’ll be looking at that booster seat day in and day out for many, many years, it might make sense to budget a little extra money to buy the safest seat with an aesthetic quality that doesn’t make you want to puke fuzzy rainbows and pink unicorns (see above pic).

We’ve dug up two different booster seats with clean, streamlined looks that will blend seamlessly into your vehicle’s backseat, whether your family hauler is a Mazda or a Mercedes.

The Maxi Cosi Rodi XR Booster sells for about $180 and comes in a slew of colors such as Brown Earth, Lapis Blue and Total Black to match a car’s upholstery. This seat starts out as a high-back booster with adjustable wings (above), a great feature for kids who still nap in the car because it keeps their heads up in a comfortable position rather than slumping forward over the top of their seat belt. The height-adjustable back can be removed for bigger kids (below), transitioning this seat into a backless booster.
