The '''Baby Booster''' (also known as '''Booster Seat''' in North America) 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. The emblem is on the front and the back of the cab. Only small characters can drive this vehicle.
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 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}}.

Appears in Mario Kart Wii

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.
