There is no denying that children are expensive. With items such as clothing and toys only lasting for certain periods, it can be rough for parents to balance the banking whilst ensuring a child's well-being is guaranteed. Birth - 11-year-old car seats are designed to provide safe and comfortable transportation for children of all ages.

These car seats are designed to grow with your child and can be adjusted to accommodate different heights and weights. They can also be used in rear and forward-facing positions to align with UK travel laws.

Ensure you use a multi-stage car seat in the correct position for the stage your child is at. For instance, remove the padding to the correct height, adjust the headrest as they grow, forward face after a minimum of 15 months, or push to the maximum weight limit.

Furthermore, children must be placed in a rear-facing position until 15 months to provide proper protection. Finally, booster seats can only be used by children over 125cm, meaning high-backed models are recommended for most children.

These car seats are perfect for growing children as they include full adjustability, which allows safe travel for them. This includes amendments to the headrest, armrests, neck support, and safety straps. 

Some car seats will use a harness system for all ages, whereas others will allow a transition to booster mode, which allows the child to use the vehicle's seat belt instead of a harness to secure the car seat. No matter how you intend to use your birth to 11-year-old car seat, the most important point is that you always ensure the positioning is perfect for the child's age, height and weight.

How you install a car seat depends on the chosen model. 

Every product will be provided with a full set of instructions that outlines how to fit the base to the vehicle and how to safely seat a child. They will also offer support on adjusting the car seat once a child reaches the next growth stage and a reposition is required. 

Should you need further help or advice, you can book an appointment to obtain extra support from our knowledge team.

Again, this will depend on the chosen car seat but we can assure you adjustability is designed to be simple. All you should need to do is use the specific built-in mechanism to change the sizing of certain elements to meet the needs of the child in question. Some products will also have safety lighting indicators whereas others will require a manual check. 

Whenever changing the sizing of a seat, you must always finish with a final safety check.
