i-size car seats
i-size car seats are the safest car seats as they comply with the latest regulations (ECE R129). They are usually easier to fit and keep children rearward facing for longer. i-size only applies to Isofix seats.
I-Size Car Seats
i-Size is the latest European car seat safety standard and can also be known as R129. The old safety regulation of Ftr44 was based on the weight of the child whereas, R129/i-Size is length-based. Working off the length of the child makes choosing the correct seat for them more accurate as a parent is most likely to know the height of their child more so than their weight.
What are the benefits of i-Size?
-
Provide increased support for the child’s head and neck.
-
Provides better side impact protection.
-
Gives you peace of mind.
-
Allows your child to travel rear-facing for much longer (up to 4years if possible).
-
Better compatibility with cars.
Infant i-Size Carriers
Did you know, if you don’t have a car seat to bring baby home in from the hospital, you will not be allowed home unless baby has a safe and secure seat. Making sure you have your car seat early on should be one of your priorities.
Our two bestselling infant carriers also known as Group 0+ car seats are the Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 Pro and the Cybex Cloud T. These car seats will take baby from birth to roughly 13kg.
Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 Pro
We welcomed the new and improved Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 Pro to our store last year. This has been an absolute showstopper when it comes to parents choosing their infant carrier! Maxi Cosi listens to parents and attempts to make parenting run smoother by making their products with features parents wished all car seats had.
Features
-
Offers a full lie-flat position inside and out of the car.
-
Has one-hand rotation and SlideTech.
-
Easy-in child installation.
-
G-Cell Side Impact Protection.
What is SlideTech?
The newest feature of the Pro range from Maxi Cosi is the SlideTech which is their revolutionary sliding car seat technology that makes every day easier. No backache, head bangs, or struggles; simply lock, slide, spin, and go!
Cybex Cloud T
The Cybex Cloud T has a longer life span as it is suitable from birth – approx. 24months. The car seat also offers an in-car recline when used with the compatible ISOFIX base Cloud T. Having the option to recline to a ergonomic lie-flat position means your baby has unrestricted breathing and is at a safer reclined angel whilst their lungs are still developing.
ISOIFX Base
When choosing your infant carrier, we would also recommend getting the compatible ISOIFX base. Having the ISOFIX base ensures the car seat is fitted correctly as there are indicators on the base which tell you when it is fitted right and if it is not. With an ISOFIX base and infant carrier it creates a “click & go” system making getting out and about in the car easier.
If you choose the Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 Pro car seat the compatible base is the Family Fix 360 Pro.
If you choose the Cybex Cloud T infant carrier the compatible base is the Cloud T.
Doona i Infant Car Seat & Stoller
If you are tight on space or just simply don’t want a big travel system, the Doona i Infant car seat and stroller is the perfect option for you! It offers the highest safety standard of R129 and allows you to move from car seat to stroller in seconds.
-
Rear facing only.
-
Integrated 5-point harness.
-
Quick release wheels.
-
Adjustable handlebar.
Second Stage i-Size Car Seat
Majority of the time if you purchased an infant carrier and its compatible ISOFIX base, when it is time to move to the next stage seat you will just need to purchase the next stage car seat that fits onto the base.
If you have the Family Fix 360 Pro ISOIFX base the next stage car seat that fits it is the Pearl 360 Pro. This seat will then take baby up to 4years. It offers superior comfort to your toddler and has 5 recline positions. Again, with the SlideTech is says goodbye to backache, head bangs and struggles.
All Stage i-Size Car Seats
We also stock car seats that will take little one from birth – 12 years! Our best-selling all stage seats are:
Osann Eno 360 SL: This car seat offers 3 stages to ensure your child is travelling in the correct position and stage at all times.
- Stage One is reward facing from birth – 4 years. Installed with the ISOFIX connectors, support leg, newborn insert & 5point harness
- Stage Two is either rearward or forward facing and installed with the ISOFIX connector, support leg and 5 point harness,
- Stage Three is forward facing and installed with the ISOFIX connector and 3point vehicle seat belt suitable from 4-12years.
Cosatto All In All Ultra 360 Rotate
The All In All Ultra Rotate i-Size gives you a seamless 360 degree rotation. Built to the highest R129 safety standard and the pop out SIPS offers extra safety and peace of mind. Now with an extendable hood baby is also protected from the sun when in the car.
Group 0, 1 i-Size Car Seats
Purchasing a Group 0,1 car seat is a great investment as you are only buying one car seat and it will take baby from birth-4years. The only con to getting this car seat is it won’t attach to your frame. The Maxi Cosi Mica Pro Eco i-Size car seat is the perfect one within this group as it offers a 360 rotation and has a ClimaFlow Temperature Regulation.
