Urban Kanga Travel Car Seat Portable and Foldable Group 1 for 9-18 Kg Uptown (TV107) (Anthracite)

Product Information

It was great for us; we never had issues with him wiggling out because the seatbelt holds the cushion in place.

Car seats approved to the newer R129 regulations that are also multi-group are rarer, although you may find some retailers define extended rear-facing car seats (that take your child from birth to four years) as multi-group. To hold the seat firmly in place, you can either use the car's seatbelt or fixed ISOFIX points, unless you're using an i-Size seat, in which case you can only use ISOFIX.Bamboo fabric is also hypoallergenic, with thermo-regulating properties to absorb moisture, keeping littles ones warm and dry. Kiddicare also does test fittings, especially helpful if you have a smallish car like I do – some seats are wider than the space in a smaller hatchback, for example so you could end up wasting a lot of money. If you already own a backless booster seat you can still use it, as long as you're following the age/height on the label. Because they are larger than a Group 0+ car seat this type of seat may take up more space in your car.

Our daughter is too young for a booster seat at 3 and I would never put our 6 year old in a booster seat without a high back at home. Our crash tests go beyond the legal minimum requirements for UK car seat regulations and are conducted at higher speeds and forces than the regulations require. There's nothing about foldability in either of the current regs as long as the seats work in crash tests. It might be the case that it's truly a Group 0 if it's an older seat, a lie-flat seat or it came with a travel system. I'd go for this over the slightly lighter super-budget ones (Often decorated with Frozen, Cars etc) simply because the fit will be a bit more reliable and those super-cheap seats don't do very well in safety testing whereas Joie does alright.If you're using an i-Size seat, your little one will need to stay rear-facing until they’re at least 15 months old and 76cm in height.

Secure fastening and easy release ensure effortless mobility, which is essential for more frequent car journeys – even for shorter distances.The Silver Cross Balance i-Size Group 1/2/3 Car Seat is an every stage car seat that grows with your child from 15 months all the way to 12 years of age.

I like how it has an age button on it, so if your baby is under 15 months and you have the 15-month button on, it doesn't let you have it forward-facing. R44 groups 0+ (birth to 13 kg), 1 (9 to 18 kg), or 2/3 (15 to 36 kg) are based on your child’s weight, not height and are suitable for children from birth up to 12 years old. Unfortunately, while it’s suitable for babies over 9kg and nine months like Minnie, it instantly became apparently it wasn’t going to work. Since July 2013, new legislation requires children up to 15 months old to travel in a rear-facing position.But in our own tests, which are conducted at higher speeds and forces than the standard requires, this seat scores poorly for side-impact tests. Car seats are grouped into specific weight and height limits to make they're comfortable and safe for your baby at every stage of their growth.
