The '''Booster Seat''' (known as the '''Baby Booster''' in the British English version) is a small-sized [[kart]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The kart is a baby stroller with a gray block engine underneath the body, two exhaust pipes in the back, a pair of headlamps on the front of the vehicle, and a roof that opens when the character performs a [[trick]] or tosses items. The character's emblem is located on the front and the back of the cab. It has higher pitched sounds than the Standard Kart thus hinting it is a two stroke. The kart’s American English name is derived from an alternate name for a {{Wp|child safety seat}}.


The '''Booster Seat''' (also known as '''Baby Booster''' in PAL versions) is a [[kart]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The kart is a baby stroller with an engine and 2 exhaust pipes in the back, a pair of headlamps on the front of the vehicle, and a roof that tends to open when the characters jump from the cab. Only small characters can drive this vehicle. Due to its appearance and stats, it bears a resemblance to the [[Goo-Goo Buggy]] and the [[Rattle Buggy]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.
This kart is one of the seven vehicles that go through a design change as well as a color change, the others being the [[Bit Bike]], [[Wario Bike]], [[Flame Runner]], [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]], [[Spear]] and [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]]. In this case, [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]'s Booster Seats lack frills on their roofs and [[Koopa Troopa]] and [[Dry Bones]]' Booster Seats have a bird's eye view of their shells on their hub-caps. Of the seven vehicles, it is the only one to be a kart.
 
Its bike counterpart is the [[Bit Bike]]. This and the Bit Bike are the only vehicles in the game to have a speed stat of less than thirty.

The Booster Seat has the best handling among all karts in the game. It also has high acceleration, off-road, and [[Mini-Turbo]] stats. Its drift is about average. However, the kart is the second lightest kart in the game behind the [[Cheep Charger]] and is the slowest kart in the game. It is overall the second slowest vehicle in the game, only being faster than its bike counterpart, the Bit Bike. The Booster Seat also features the same weight as the [[Jet Bubble]], the same drift stat as the [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]], the same off-road stat as the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]], and the same mini-turbo stat as the [[Wild Wing]] and the [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]].

The Booster Seat (known as the Baby Booster in the British English version) is a small-sized kart that appears in Mario Kart Wii. The kart is a baby stroller with a gray block engine underneath the body, two exhaust pipes in the back, a pair of headlamps on the front of the vehicle, and a roof that opens when the character performs a trick or tosses items. The character's emblem is located on the front and the back of the cab. It has higher pitched sounds than the Standard Kart thus hinting it is a two stroke. The kart’s American English name is derived from an alternate name for a child safety seat.

This kart is one of the seven vehicles that go through a design change as well as a color change, the others being the Bit Bike, Wario Bike, Flame Runner, Shooting Star, Spear and Phantom. In this case, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi's Booster Seats lack frills on their roofs and Koopa Troopa and Dry Bones' Booster Seats have a bird's eye view of their shells on their hub-caps. Of the seven vehicles, it is the only one to be a kart.

Its bike counterpart is the Bit Bike. This and the Bit Bike are the only vehicles in the game to have a speed stat of less than thirty.
