Toddler seat FAQs
How to choose the right car seat for my toddler?
The most important factors to consider when choosing a toddler car seat is your child’s weight, height and age. The car seat needs to fit your child in order to offer the right kind of support. It’s also relevant to make sure that the car seat is appropriate for your vehicle, and that it carries the right British standard safety requirements. Consider what features are most important to you… do you want premium safety precautions with a rear-facing seat? Would you rather combine this with easy access to your child via a convertible? Do you want your toddler seat to be reclining?
When can a toddler face forward in a car seat?
Children under the age of 15 months are strongly recommended to use rear-facing car seats as it minimizes the impact from car accidents. Rear-facing car seats also further support your child’s head, neck and spine, something especially important for infants and babies. For children aged 15-months to 4-years, we offer front-facing, rear-facing and rotating car seats.
How long can a toddler be in a car seat on a road trip?
Pediatric professionals recommend that young babies should not be kept in their car seats for longer than 2 hours at a time due to potential asphyxia risks. However, we know that some long road trips cannot be avoided. If you’re taking your toddler on a long trip, be sure to take frequent breaks (every 1-2 hours) so that their bodies can move and stretch, or lie flat. Consider fitting a mirror so you can keep a close eye on their behaviour and breathing. Never leave your baby asleep in their car seat once the car is parked.
What is the free child seat consultation?
You can book a free 30-minute consultation to assess your needs like your child’s size and age, your vehicle, and your desired features. You will receive a tailored recommendation from our experts, who will then demonstrate how to easily install and remove the car seat from your vehicle. This quick and easy process ensures that convenience, safety and comfort are at the forefront of your car seat shopping experience.
