Step 1
Look around your hometown. Visit garage and yard sales, as well as thrift stores and flea markets. You can find several types of children's equipment at these affairs. You can spend $50 to $150 if you purchase car booster seats brand new; buying used will have you spending only a fraction of that cost.

Step 2
Purchase car booster seats from online auction houses. An auction house is a site where you can place bids on items you wish to buy. This is a peer-to-peer operation working within a controlled environment, which means that you will be protected if an auction is a fraud. However, the people who sell items via such auctions are usually legitimate. Overstock.com has an auction house that has children's items, as does ShopGoodwill.com. (Follow the links in Resources.)

Step 3
Shop online for inexpensive car booster seats. The Evenflo Booster Seat from BabyAge.com is inexpensive and brand new for your child's needs. The Cosco Ambassador Booster Seat is available at Wal-Mart. It is backless and includes a flip-down drink holder. BabiesRUs has the High Rise Booster Car Seat. This seat will assist your child in going from a car seat to a big kid's seat. It is equipped with armrests and features simple seat-belt installation.

Step 4
Buy from online garage sales. There are several websites that allow people to sell items to others in their hometown or across the country. GarageSaleHomePage.com and Frimp Online Yard Sale can assist you in locating the inexpensive car booster seat of your choice. Users place ads on these websites in order to sell things from their home without having to hold an actual garage sale. The service is free to charge to buyers and sellers.
