English term or phrase: Booster Seats
A booster seat is a car seat secured on the top of the regular car seat for a baby or small child. So far I am thingking to translate it as 幼儿汽车座椅,幼儿加高座椅，幼儿汽车安全座椅. Now you can see I am struggling with it. Please share with me if you have any better suggestions
for this popular product.

The quote of the English text is as follows:
"Oregon law now says that children aged 4 to 6 or who weigh 40 to 60 pounds need to be in a booster seat when riding in a car or truck."

幼儿加高座椅
Explanation:
这里的booster本身是提升、加高的意思。通过提升而使小孩和booster seat一起用安全带固定在车坐上，而不会滑下去，达到安全的目的。booster seat本身并不具有安全的功能。

booster seat
n.
(1) A car seat for small children that lifts the child by several inches, designed for use with an adult seat belt.
辅助车座椅-小轿车上供小孩坐的提升几英寸的座椅，和成人座椅带一起用
(2) A seat placed on top of the seat of a chair, used to elevate a small child at a table.
辅助餐座椅-放在椅子上边的小座椅，用于举起面对桌子的小孩

直接用“加高座椅”怎么样？我甚至想把幼儿去掉，更简洁一些。

因为从原文来看，译成下面的样子也是完全可以的：
俄勒冈法律现在要求，4-6岁或体重在40-60磅之间的儿童乘坐汽车或卡车时，必须使用加高座椅。
