i-Size

The car seat meets the requirements of the European safety standard i-Size (ECE R129). Within the framework of this standard, it is assumed that child car seats are classified according to the height and age of the child, and not by weight (as was previously the case). It is also mandatory to fasten the retaining device using the Isofix system (see “Isofix fastening”). In accordance with i-Size requirements, car seats must be installed rear-facing until the child is 15 months old or reaches a height of 105 cm. All i-Size certified car seats must pass a side impact test. Chairs and cars that meet the requirements of the standard are marked i-Size, which confirms their full compatibility.

Correct installation indicator

The presence in the design of the child restraint system of special indicators of correct installation. They help ensure that the child car seat is installed correctly and follows all prescribed safety guidelines. Most often, such indicators are represented by special marks that change color or position when the car seat is installed correctly. Such indicators are placed on Isofix system locks, seat belts for fastening a child, etc. And some models for the youngest passengers have built-in levels or angle indicators that help set the seat in the correct position, facing the rear of the vehicle.

Adjustments

Backrest tilt adjustment. The backrest tilt can be adjusted. This point is different for various weight groups. In groups 0+ and 1 not the backrest, but the whole seat tilts against the fixed base, and in groups 2 and 2/3 only the backrest tilts. The possibility of adjusting the backrest tilt is important if the child is in the car for a long time – by tilting the backrest you can let the child sleep or rest.

Headrest height adjustment. According to safety requirements, the child's head should not be more than one third above the headrest, so it is necessary to adjust the headrest as the child grows.

Harness height adjustment. The ability to adjust the height of car seat harnesses — such a need arises as the child grows.

Backrest width adjustment. The ability to adjust the width of the backrest allows you to optimally adjust the car seat not only for constantly changing height, but also for the child's complexion.

Horizontal position of a backrest. The backrest of the car seat is horizontal. The horizontal position is optimal for babies under the age of six months, since it avoids unnecessary stress on the spine, therefore group 0 car seats usually have this function.

Removable backrest. It is possible to comp...letely remove the backrest of the car seat. This function expands the possibilities of the seat: it can be used both for its intended purpose, with a backrest, and as a booster (for more information on boosters, refer to "Weight group 3").

Swivel system. The seat swivels relative to a fixed base. This makes it easier to drop off and pick up the child: during these operations, the seat can be turned to face the car door, and when driving, it can be positioned in or against the direction of travel.

Equipment

Isofix base. The product is equipped with a separate Isofix base, which is fixed in the interior of the car on the appropriate fixing clips, and the car seat is installed directly on it. The use of the base provides reliable fixation of the car seat and reduces the risk of its incorrect installation. On the Isofix base are installed mainly car seats of age groups 0+ and 1, some models assume the possibility of placing seats for older kids. It should be noted that car seat models without an Isofix base are also widely available on the market. — Removable cover. Removable car seat cover for cleaning and/or washing. This function is especially useful if the seat is used when feeding a kid.

Anatomical cushion. Depending on the age group, it can either be a special horseshoe-shaped cushion to support the kid's head (for the youngest ones who are still unable to hold their head on their own), or a special soft headrest that fixes the head from behind and to the sides (for older kids).

Armrests. Armrests refer to the handles placed on the sides of a seat where one can rest their elbows and forearms. They reduce fatigue in the neck and shoulders of a child during prolonged sitting.

Sun canopy. Plastic (most often) canopy to protect the kid fro...m the sun or bright light.

Foot cover. A cover that covers the kid's legs and lower body. It is used in seats of age group 0.

Cup holder. A device used in car seats to hold a bottle of drink or formula for feeding. Most often done removable.

Additional side protection

The car seat has structural elements that further protect the child from side impacts. At least such elements include sidewalls for head protection made of impact-absorbing material such as polyurethane foam; torso protection may also be provided. If you are looking for a car seat with the maximum level of protection, you should choose from models with additional side protection.
