In addition, the harness allows for adjustment to the child’s body and therefore offers a good and customised fit. The Britax Eclipse is a car seat with a minimum weight capacity of 9 kg and a maximum weight capacity of 18 kg. It features a belt height adjustment and an adjustable headrest for added comfort and support. The seat is equipped with side protection to ensure the safety of the child during travel. 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:

Laws, rules and standards are regularly updated to integrate the latest findings of research on child safety; So maybe you need to decide what's more important - if the coach journey is just an hour and then you'll be using a car while you are here I would just bring your regular car seat (I assume it's a rear facing one). You won't be able to use the car seat on the coach, but your son will be safer in the car for the duration of your trip. Do not move too early to a Group 2-3 seat because these seats are wider to accommodate larger children. Also a younger child's shoulders are too narrow to hold to the adult seat belt securely. A small child can therefore easily slip out from under the belt, especially when they fall asleep during the journey.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. 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.

Using our 1997 invention together with Volkswagen to greatly reduce the risk of incorrect installation 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). 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. Functional parts of the products may have reduced performance due to wear or exposure to external factors, such as food and drinks. Group 0/0+ and 1 (birth – 18 kg); or equivalent child restraint systems as defined in UN R129 (i-Size)Our latest development of the ISOFIX system uses wider connectors to limit sideways movement, along with V-Tether anchorage at the top to reinforce stability and absorb impact forces.

Your seat meets the European Safety Standard. Note the last two digits: these should end in 04 (latest version) or 03. R44-01 or 02 are not legal and may not be sold or used since 2008. Some car seats are designed around the physiology of a specific age or weight of child. These seats offer tailored protection along with the ultimate comfort and fit. Other seats are designed to cover a much wider age range. These seats offer maximum flexibility and longevity. Only you can decide what is best for your family. Your options: 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.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 higher

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. Our ground-breaking invention with Volkswagen that enables simple, direct connection to the car’s anchorage pointsThe seat is approved for use in all vehicles that meet ECE R14 and R16 regulations. Any Isofix car seat must use the Isofix anchorage points including the top tether or foot support and the vehicle’s handbook must state that the car is suitable for “Universal Isofix child seats”. 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.
