What makes the Group 1/2/3 even more practical, is that this car seat will see your baby through from 9 months to 12 years. 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. A child will have outgrown a Group 1, 2 or 3 child car seat if his or her eyes are level with the top of the seat when sitting in it. It's better and safer to keep your child in the lowest group seat for as long as possible, rather than moving up groups too early. Your child's safety is always a top priority, so keep them secure on road trips with our range of car seats.

If the combined weight of your growing baby and the car seat becomes too heavy to carry around, leave it fitted in the car all the time and lift your baby in and out.But while our friends’ one might have a bit of wear and tear and the odd stray crumb (which Minnie has quickly added to) it’s otherwise perfect.

Whether preparing for the first day home from the hospital or transitioning your growing toddler into their next-stage seat, we've got the right fitting car seat for your little sweetie and your back seat! To remove stubborn stains, spray soap and water solution onto the seat and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before blotting with a clean sponge.
