Ickle Bubba Solar ISOFIX Car Seat Group 1-2-3 from 9kg to 36kg (Light Grey)

Product Information

While car seat groups do roughly correspond to your child as they age, the real factor that determines when you should be upgrading your car seat, is your child’s weight. Each group has a corresponding weight limit – it’s this that you should be monitoring, rather than your child’s age. You should tighten the harness until you can just get two fingers between the straps and your baby’s body. They can be useful not only as a money-saving buy, but also for childminders and grandparents who often need to transport children of different ages. Lucy: For once my child enjoyed the car seat! It was snug and cosy yet breathable and not too restricting. I really enjoyed the recline functions on this seat and felt that this saved it a little from the fact it doesn't have the option of rearward facing. Settling my little one in her car seat for a journey has become much easier due to the lovely, soft material and padding of the car seat. It so far has also been quite easy to wipe down! Infant-only car seats face only face the rear seat of the car and are intended for newborns up to approximately 9 months, depending on weight. The weight generally ranges from 4 to 5 pounds to around 30 – 35 pounds. The height limit is also around 30 – 55 inches.

Your child’s head should sit directly in the middle of the headrest and the sides of the headrest should sit just above the child’s shoulders. Once the baby exceeds the limits of a car seat they will transition to a convertible all-in-one car seat. A convertible car seat can start off rear-facing and then convert to a forward-facing from when the child is around 40 pounds or more. Side Impact Cushions – I’ve not seen these on any car seat before and loved this idea as they give your child extra protection in the event you get shunted from the side. You only need to install the one closest to the door but we’ve chosen to put both on as sometimes we move the kids seats around depending on who is driving and how many passengers we have in the car. I loved having this extra bit of reassurance in the event of an accident. The 360-degree rotating seat provides effortless access, so you can put baby in the car and take them out again, without any hassle. It offers longevity and ease-of-use, plus comfort and protection that can be adapted to suit your growing child. Rotating car seat | Birth - 7 years You might feel more comfortable with your baby riding in the front where you can keep an eye on him, but fitting a rear-facing car seat to a front passenger seat with an airbag could cause life-threatening injuries if the airbag is activated.

Once your child reaches the weight limit of 18kg in Group 1 mode, you can adapt the Solar to be used in Group 2/3 mode.

The adjustable headrest means the seat will grow with your child, so you’re safe in the knowledge that they’re well protected in your vehicle. Our little one seems super comfortable in it. ★★★★ Wilson, Essex FAQ Is an infant car seat safer than a convertible car seat?

Built-in isofix connectivity for easy installation: the clear red/green indicators will show you once the seat is correctly installed, while the top tether strap adds stability, giving you invaluable peace of mind.
