Since we invented ISOFIX in 1997 with Volkswagen it has become the standard for car seat installation in Europe. It greatly reduces the risk of installation error and makes transferring an infant carrier when used in combination with the base in and out of the car simple. We would always recommend an ISOFIX seat, but understand that not all cars have ISOFIX connectors. So it’s important that you clarify this before you choose your seat. Your options: Designed specifically for Group 2/3 car seats – using both ISOFIX and the car’s seat belt to direct impact forces away from your child Using the car’s three-point seat belt to connect the seat Do you want to use your seat as part of a Travel System? These seats, often called an ‘infant carrier’, can be used from birth and can be connected to your pushchair. They are designed to be lightweight and portable and cocoon a small baby.
Products, technical solutions and design evolve, also as a consequence of standards’ evolution and to reflect state of the art technology and features to ensure child’s safety; There probably wouldn't be room for a rear facing seat on a coach, but your could certainly look at the Britax Prince or Britax Eclipse forward facing seats. They are both approved for airline use, so this means they are not too wide and can be fitted with either a normal seatbelt or just a lap belt. For safety reasons, you should keep your child in each stage for as long as possible – until they reach the weight limit or the head reaches the top of the seat. This is especially important for babies as rearward facing seats offer the safest way of travelling. The general rule of thumb of moving your child to the next group is: Groups 2 and 3 or combination seats Group 1 2 3 (9-36 kg), or equivalent child restraint systems as defined in UN R129 (i-Size)

i-Size is a new regulation for child car seats that will run in parallel to the current regulation (ECE R44/04) for the next few years. It has been in force since July 9th 2013. We were a major contributor to its development and believe that it will greatly increase protection for little ones across Europe. Approval number. The first two numbers (04) show to which version the child seat has been approved, in this case ECE R 44/04. Suitable from birth until approximately 3 years, all-in-ones are a flexible system made up of a chassis, rearward and forward facing seat, carrycot and infant carrier adapters. They allow a small child to lie flat or travel in their infant carrier, a growing child to sit facing their parent and a toddler to sit facing the world – all in the ultimate comfort. We’ve been designing industry-leading car seats for approximately 50 years – and have been championing rearward facing seats in Sweden for over 20 years. During this time we’ve constantly used our learnings to develop innovative ways to make safer, simpler, more flexible products. Our research and development team are continually making advances in energy management – enabling us to enhance the protection that our products offer from every possible angle of impact (including rollovers) in a road traffic accident. We’ve also been able to develop an industry-leading selection of belted seats that enable rearward facing travel beyond the limits of ISOFIX – all the way to 6 years old. Our expertise is regularly shared with governmental bodies and safety experts worldwide. The Plus Test - driving safety standards higherFunctional parts of the products may have reduced performance due to wear or exposure to external factors, such as food and drinks. To meet ECE R44/04 approval car seats are tested in frontal collisions at 50km/h and rear collisions at 30 km/h using crash test dummies and advanced measuring instruments designed to assess the levels of protection each seat offers. ECE R44/04 approved seats can all be identified by their orange approval label. Double pushchairs are designed to accommodate the needs of growing families. Either side-by-side for maximum comfort, or tandem for maximum manoeuvrability – for children of different ages, or even for twins. Some doubles even have a removable seat so they can be used as a single when only one child needs to be transported. These seats are designed for children from 9kg up to 25kg and often offer a choice of rearward or forward facing travel to suit the changing needs of a growing child.
In Group 1 children are restrained either with the 5-point harness or the shield system (also referred to as safety cushion, impact shield, tray shield). The child seat is tested in an additional car-specific dynamic crash test and approved only for these cars. The car must be listed in the child seat manufacturer’s car fitting list. This may include special features or designs that can only be installed in a car of a specific type.If the belt-retract is still insufficient and the child car seat has an XP-PAD, please test the belt-retract without using the XP-PAD. If the seatbelt sufficiently retracts without the XP-PAD, then the child car seat should be used without the XP-PAD. Even without the XP-PAD, the child car seat still provides superior safety performance. These seats are designed to be used from birth but to remain within the car. They are often bigger and heavier and can’t be connected to a pushchair. However they may fit your child until they are around 4 years or 18kg. And they may give you the option of changing the seat to forward facing once your child is ready. Our ground-breaking invention with Volkswagen that enables simple, direct connection to the car’s anchorage points Adjust the headrest of the child car seat so that the headrest is, where possible, 1-2 slots higher or lower (subject to the height of the child and additional guidance in the user manual) than its previous position.
In addition, the harness allows for adjustment to the child’s body and therefore offers a good and customised fit. Laws, rules and standards are regularly updated to integrate the latest findings of research on child safety; When your child is sitting in the child car seat, make sure that the vehicle seatbelt runs smoothly and securely through the upper belt guide and lower belt guide.

Why are child car seats with integrated harness often more expensive than car seats with shield systems? It may seem like there’s an endless maze of options out there – but understanding the different features may help you to prioritise what’s important for you Using our 1997 invention together with Volkswagen to greatly reduce the risk of incorrect installation
