Car seats

» What type of Car Seat do I need?

There are generally three kinds of child car seats that are appropriate for small children. Kompas No.1 has taken great care in selecting the car seats it offers, and has selected the Britax Infant baby seats, Britax baby seats and Britax Booster Car Seat.

» The Britax Infant baby Car Seat

Birth to 13kg (birth to approx 9-12 months).

Versatile, it is a car seat, your baby's first chair for feeding and rocking and a part of the Britax Travel System range. A three-point, one-pull harness secures your baby in the seat and is easily adjustable before every journey. Installs rearward facing only using a lap and diagonal seat-belt. Use the alternative seat-belt routing for cars with shorter seat-belts. Simple single-handed adjustment takes it from a car seat to a carrier. Remember - don't under any circumstances use any rearward facing child car seat on a passenger seat fitted with an airbag.

» The Britax baby Car Seat

9kg to 18kg (approx 9 months to 4 years).

A five-point, one-pull harness secures your child in the seat and is easily adjustable before every journey. Installs using a lap and diagonal seat-belt or a lap belt. Five positions from upright to reclined, the seat adjusts without disturbing your sleeping child. Contoured styling allows a good fit onto modern sculptured car seats. Remember - don't under any circumstances use any child car seat on a passenger seat fitted with an airbag.

» The Booster Car Seat

15kg to 36kg (approx 4 to 11 years).

Install using a lap and diagonal seat-belt. Unique clip positions the diagonal section of the seat-belt correctly over your child's shoulder. Remember - don't under any circumstances use any child car seat on a passenger seat fitted with an airbag.

Safety check

» Be sure to use your car seat correctly

The best spot for a car seat usually is in the middle of the back seat. Use the seat's lap belt or lap-shoulder belt to secure the seat, making sure that it is correctly threaded through the appropriate slots.

Installation of a car seat must be done with care due to the variety of vehicle seat designs. Please read your car seat and vehicle manuals carefully to ensure that your car seat has been properly installed.

Make sure the harness on the car seat fits your child snugly and securely. A correctly installed car seat is one that is held firmly in place by the vehicle seat belt.

Keeping your child safe in the car is one of the most important things you can do. Remember, Kompas No.1 wants to do everything they can to help you and your family get where you're going safely.
