TheBooster Seat (known as theBaby Booster in the British English version) is a small-sizedkart that appears inMario 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 atrick 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.
This kart is one of the seven vehicles that go through a design change as well as a color change, the others being theBit Bike,Wario Bike,Flame Runner,Shooting Star,Spear andPhantom. In this case,Baby Mario andBaby Luigi's Booster Seats lack frills on their roofs andKoopa Troopa andDry 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 theBit Bike, while its rough size class counterparts are theDaytripper for medium drivers and theOffroader for large drivers. This and the Bit Bike are the only vehicles in the game to have a speed stat of less than thirty. This is also one of only four karts in the game to have a weight stat below thirty, the other three being theStandard Kart S,Blue Falcon, andCheep Charger.
