As with the Silver Cross All Motion 360, when you purchase a Nuna TRES lx you won’t need to purchase another car seat… ever! Sounds glorious, doesn’t it?
The Nuna TRES lx is a Group 0+/1/2/3 car seat that offers true longevity, promising to seamlessly follow the transition of your child from toddler to big kid.
What we love about this seat is it gives you the capability to rear-face your child from birth to 4 years of age. We always mention this, but it’s SO important to rearward face as long as you possibly can, and with the TRES lx, it’s easy and comfy for your little one to do so. Once they’ve graduated to the next stage, they can front face from ages 4- 12 years, (group 2/3 booster mode) using the car seat in conjunction with the vehicle’s seat belt and ISO connector.
If you’re looking for a car seat to last from baby to preschool, the iZi Turn i-Size car seat could be for you. This new car seat can be used from approximately six months of age and allows your child to rear-face up until the age of four.
Once your baby starts to morph into a strong-willed toddler, you’ll soon find they can be extremely tricky to get into their car seats. The BeSafe iZi Turn i-Size car seat is designed to rotate 360°, so you can access your little tike front-on. This makes lifting your child in and out of the car super-simple and buckling up so much easier. Trust us.
The Silver Cross Dream i-Size approved infant carrier is suitable for babies measuring 40-85cm (birth to approximately 12 months or 13kg).
The Dream offers your baby the very best in safety and comfort while giving you complete peace of mind. The Dream’s cushioned seat is made from the softest fabrics and together with the seat’s four-layer side impact protection, even the tiniest of babies will feel completely safe and secure on their first journey home.
The car seat has adjustable and removable newborn inserts made from breathable natural bamboo fabric with thermo-regulating properties to keep your child warm and dry. What’s interesting is that bamboo fabric is also anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic, so it promises to look after the most sensitive of baby skin.
Maxi Cosi has introduced the new 360 Family rotating car seat system, which promises to be the ultimate travel solution for busy parents juggling family life.
Maxi-Cosi’s family of rotating car seats are suitable from birth up to 4 years and are designed to help parents get their children into their car seats quickly and easily as the needs of their children evolve.
The FamilyFix 360 base allows for quick and easy installation of the Pebble 360, Pearl 360 and Coral 360 car seats. The convenient, one-handed mechanism of the rotating base makes life simpler for parents when getting their child in and out of the car up until the age of four. Pebble 360 can be used from birth to approximately 15 months, Pearl 360 can be used from birth up to 4 years and the Coral 360 from birth up to approx. 12 months.
Maxi-Cosi has developed a new type of car seat that offers a highly comfortable 157° near lie-flat reclined position, the best in comfort for your baby.
The Marble also comes with many convenient features and the adjustable headrest and the harness height is available in eight positions, so it’s a car seat that will grow with your baby, ensuring increased comfort for a longer period of time. For the ultimate in comfort, there’s also extra soft padding and a removable newborn inlay, meaning the Marble is ready for use for your very first trip home from the hospital.
The car seat is equipped with an ultra-protective XL sun canopy with a peekaboo window, so parents can check up on their little one whenever they want.
Newborns need to sleep as much as possible in the best possible position, and that’s why Maxi-Cosi invented the first R129-approved car cot: Jade.
Thanks to its 180° flat sleeping position, babies can travel and sleep at the same time, all day, every day, in the healthiest and safest way. With Jade, you can take your baby with you during long-distance family trips and during day-to-day activities, safely and without waking up baby.
Easily slide the car cot from any compatible Maxi-Cosi pushchair onto the ISOFIX FamilyFix3 base in the car, without having to wake your baby.
