Additionally, the head protectors are made to grow with the personal space requirements of the child for optimal comfort.

The top ones I'd recommend at the moment are the Cybex Solution S-fix and Z-fix - the difference between these is that the Z-fix expands widthways as well as upwards, whereas the S-fix is just upwards.The S-fix has longer body guards at the sides and better side impact protection, including pop out pieces which really make a difference (but can take up more space in the car) and it also has a sort of internal recline in the headrest which is supposed to keep their head within the support guides when they sleep a bit better. The impact shield is not rigid and can be adjusted to give the growing child sufficient freedom of movement while also offering the best protection. At the same time, the body's kinetic energy caused by the impact is absorbed at a very early stage and the head is actively led into a safe position. The connectors can easily be folded away, so that the seat is also compatible with cars not equipped with ISOFIX. As I understand it they didn't need to change anything to get it to pass, so even though the i-size crash test is stricter than the older R44 crash test, the S-fix would have passed the newer crash test anyway.

Should you wish to clean a car seat more thoroughly than recommended above, you will have to have it cleaned professionally. To find out whether a specific CYBEX car seat can be installed on the passenger seat, please check the type list included with the car seat. If the Solution S2 i-Fix is used without isofix, you should always strap the seatbelt around the seat when not in use to prevent it from becoming a projectile in an accident.

In the event of an accident, the backrest moves slightly forward with your child, and is therefore able to secure the whole body early on. The seat of the Solution S i-Fix is extra wide and deep which gives your child adequate space and comfort from the padding. High-back booster seats also include a shoulder belt routing which can be adjusted to the height of the child, further improving their travelling safety.

Spin the seat towards the door and secure your child in the seat with less strain on your back from leaning over and reaching in to the car. If you really did want to harness then you could look at seats which harness up to 25kg, like Joie Bold. You can find this information in our vehicle Type List which is available either online or along with the product when it is purchased.The seats headrest can be adjusted to your child’s height by simply lifting up the lever on the back of the headrest and simultaneously lifting or lowering the headrest to the correct height for your child. The shoulder belt part of the seat belt should sit comfortably between the child’s neck and shoulder. Just remember to buckle the booster in when unoccupied, if it is not attached to the isofix, to prevent it becoming a projectile in a crash. The four covers of the seat are fitted into the cover attachment channels on the edge of the child seat and are held in position at several places by press-studs.
