CYBEX has launched another ground-breaking product with its new car seat the CYBEX Anoris T i-Size, and have set a new industry standard in terms of safety.
Thanks to its integrated airbag technology, the forward-facing seat offers approximately 50% more protection than conventional forward-facing seats and is at least as safe as rear-facing car seats. We know toddlers love to forward face, and now they can, as safely as they would rearface.
The Anoris T i-Size is simple to install and provides more comfort, legroom and easy entry into the seat. A complete gamechanger in the car seat industry. Bravo, Cybex.

Everyone who takes on the Race Santa challenge will be encouraged to ask for people to sponsor them.
They will also be encouraged to share pictures and updates with their supporters along the way. Participants can use the hashtag of #RaceSanta to share them with the rest of the Race Santa team.
The collective target is a distance of 24,901 miles – the circumference of the globe – because this is the distance Father Christmas will travel on Christmas Eve.
