Car Seats

 Choosing a car seat is not something you make lightly. After all, you want to transport your child safely, but a car seat must also offer your child the necessary comfort. In addition, you have to deal with a certain budget. At HQ Baby the range of car seats is large enough to find a car seat that suits your needs. All car seats comply with the applicable European safety standards. A large part of our range of car seats also meets the strict i-Size safety standard.

Installation in the car

Car seats can be secured with the car seat belt or using the Isofix mounting system. There are two hooks on the back of the car seat that you can click onto the mounting points in your car. However, not every car is equipped with Isofix. Some car seats can be attached with both the 3-point seat belt and Isofix. Handy when you also use the car seat in a car without Isofix.

Is an i-Size car seat safer?

One of the big improvements of R129/i-Size regulations is a reduced risk of fitting your child car seat incorrectly. Generally, Isofix seats are simpler to fit than ones that use the vehicle’s seatbelt.

Another key benefit of R129/i-Size is the introduction of a side-impact crash test as part of the approval process. Child car seats approved to the older R44 regulation do not have to pass a side-impact crash test in order to be sold.

Finally, R129 regulations for i-Size infant carrier car seats state that children must remain rearward-facing until they’re 15 months, as it’s safer. We see more extended rearward-facing car seats approved to R129 regulations that encourage parents to keep their child facing backwards until they’re four years old.
