  • The seat must meet the ECE safety standard R44.03

  • There should be side protection for the upper parts of the body, the head. The strength of the frame is also important. The most reliable is made of metal, but it significantly increases the weight of the structure.
  • Choose a seat with the baby in specialstores. There is a demo booth. Plant a small one there, fasten it with straps, leave it for a few minutes in such a position to understand whether it is convenient for him.
