Text | In this podcast, the verb "to seat" means to have enough seats for a certain number of people: "They're looking for a conference room that can seat up to 500 participants."

A "car seat" is a special chair put inside a car for babies and very young children, to keep them safe in an accident: "Babies should be in a rear-facing car seat until they are one year old, and then they can be in a forward-facing car seat." A "booster seat" is used for older children who aren't yet big enough to use a regular seat belt: "Small children are safest in booster seats, because they put the child higher up so that the car's seatbelt can work properly." |
