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 an engine and 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 engine is the gray block underneath the body.

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 as opposed to a bike.

The kart’s American English name is derived from an alternate name for a child safety seat.
