Choosing the perfect car seat
With complete certainty, it is in the field of car seats, where moms and dads of all backgrounds have the most doubts when they start to see the items that their baby will need. There is a huge amount of information on the internet and sometimes it is difficult to choose the best option according to your needs.. What you should never lose sight of is the fact that in this case you should not get carried away by fashion, aesthetics or influencers, since we are talking about something important: the safety of your baby when you travel in the car. It is in the car where your baby is most vulnerable and it is up to all of us as a society, but especially you, to protect him.
In Spain, a child must be mounted in a car seat or child restraint system (CRS) from birth to 135 cm.. To cover this entire range there are several options on the market: one of them and very widespread is to use the so-called multi-group chairs or evolutionary chairs, which we have already told you about on other occasions. The option that we want to propose to you today is perhaps more appropriate from a security point of view. This option consists of divide the entire period when your baby will need a car seat in two sections: one that goes from birth to 105 cm (approximately 18 kg in weight or 3.5-4 years of age) and another from these 105 cm or 3.5-4 years until the end of the mandatory use of the CRS, using a different chair in each of the sections. In short, it is an alternative to buying a single evolutionary chair: using a chair for each stage allows you to make the chair more specific, more adapted to the morphological characteristics and to your own size and dimensions at all times.
Two car seats for all your growth
In the extensive Asalvo catalog we have all the options you can imagine, and according to the above we are going to propose you for your baby a car seat like the Protect Fix seat for the first stage and the Poe car seat for the second stage. We are going to explain the characteristics of both, but first we want to emphasize that Both have been approved in accordance with the most recent regulations regarding CRS such as regulation R-129, also known as I-size regulations..
The Asalvo Protect Fix car seat:
It is a high safety chair that you can use from birth, approximately 40 cm, up to 105cm. The Protect Fix chair It is a chair with very easy installation using isofix and support leg, and 360º swivel. It also consists of a arch support for the backrest of your car which, together with the aforementioned support leg, form the anti-tip system of the chair in the event of frontal or reach (rear) impacts. In accordance with the regulations with which it has been approved It is mandatory for your baby to go rear facing (ACM) until 15 months of age, although it is designed and prepared so that your little one goes in that direction until the end of use, that is, up to 3.5-4 years. We never tire of reminding you that your little one is much more protected and safe if he travels ACM than if he does so in the direction of travel. The Protect Fix chair that we offer you is equipped with a efficient lateral protection system called SPS+ (Side Protection System Plus) and it is reclinable in 4 positions in the direction of travel. To adapt the Protect Fix chair to the size of your little one, Its headrest is adjustable in 11 positions, and the soft and comfortable reducers, both for the head and the rest of the body, you can remove them or modify their position as the child grows.. When your little one reaches 105 cm, his head will exceed the headrest of the Protect Fix, and it will be time to move on to a new car seat.
The Asalvo Protect Fix car seat is perfect for your baby's first stage in the car: from birth to 105 cm.
The Asalvo Poe car seat:
The car seat that will accompany your little one in The second stage in which you must continue wearing a CRS ranges from 100-105 cm in height to 135 cm that the current highway code considers as a limit on mandatory. The second car seat that we want to share with you in this post, the Asalvo POE car seat, goes beyond 135 cm and You can still use it up to 150 cm, which is the most recommended. It is important to make a point at this time to resolve a very common question among many moms and dads like you, who are worried about safety: in this type of chairs ranging from 100 to 135-150 cm, also called group 2-3 chairsIsn't the child safer if he wears harnesses? The answer is no. Keep in mind that the car's seat belt supports your weight as an adult, so the child's weight also supports it, and if the height is greater than 100 cm, the belt in your vehicle is already positioned well. Furthermore, when a child travels in the direction of travel, the belt is much safer than the harnesses themselves if the seat had them (this is the case of evolutionary seats, in which there are many parents who continue using the harnesses even though the child has exceeded 18 kg or 100 cm in height). To make the use of your car seat belt even more effective for your child, The Poe chair has three elements: a positioner at the top which makes your vehicle's belt, regardless of where it is located, grab the child from the collarbone and not from the neck diagonally; has also a padding through which the longitudinal section of the belt is introduced in such a way as to prevent burning in case of impact and protects the mandibular area; and finally an inguinal protector through which the ventral section of the car belt passes and which also acts to protect the child's intimate areas.
The top positioner, seat belt padding and groin protector of the Asalvo Poe car seat offer maximum comfort for your little one.
The Poe car seat It has double installation: you can install it with the isofix system or also with the car seat belt, both installations in a very simple way. It has a wide and high headrest, 21 cm, which is adjustable in height, and cervical and lateral protection: As all I-size standard seats must protect their occupant in the event of side, frontal and impact impacts, we have designed the Poe car seat so that safety is not at odds with comfort: as your child grows, you will raise the headrest and the seat will widen at the top so that your child's neck and back are protected with enough space for their comfort. The design of the seat of the POE car seat is ergonomic, and its backrest can be tilted 15º for greater comfort when resting and without the chair losing the slightest in safety and performance..
Thanks to all its features, the Poe car seat is very comfortable and safe during your baby's second stage in the car.
