It is perfect for groups 1, 2 and 3 with a weight range of between 9 and 36 kg, making it a perfect model for children up to 12.
We like this chair for for two reasons. First, it is very comfortable – even for longer trips as it is very padded model. Thanks to its design, your child will be able to sleep on long trips, so travel will seem much shorter! In addition, it has special padding for the head.
As in other examples, depending on the height of your child, this model allows you to adjust the headrest to the needs of the child. This really is a great advantage, since you can use a single chair as they grow.
