R129-compliant and Swedish Plus tested

Belted installation

The BeSafe Stretch rear-facing car seat has a super expandable design that grows with your child from 61 to 125cm tall and 36 kg of weight, that's from 6 months to 7 years old. Its market-leading leg space stretches up to 26cm and allows for a 5x safer ride in the rearward-facing position.

Superior safety
It's passed the world’s toughest crash test - the Swedish Plus Test and has been approved to the latest UN R129 regulation. Its rigid shell based on a unique external frame effectively absorbs frontal impact forces, while Dynamic Force Absorber™ in the headrest area and the SIP+ add-on ensure excellent security from the sides.
The BeSafe Stretch has been ADAC tested, with a result of “Very Good” and a score of 1.2 of the safety aspect. This means the Stretch is both the safest seat ever until 7 years old and the safest belt-installed toddler seat ever in ADAC/Stiftung Warentest testing.

Individualized comfort
In addition to the first-rate safety features, the BeSafe Stretch also offers excellent comfort for your growing passenger. It features ample seating area with 5 recline positions, 10-step adjustable headrest and lots of space for legs. Its Two-Fit Cushions™ can be individually adjusted to your child. The seat has a soft padded 5-point safety harness with Magnetic Belt Assistants™ that make getting in and out of the seat easier.

Flexible and easy installation
The Besafe Stretch provides 3-point safety belt installation, which means it can be attached in any car on any seat, no matter if it is at the front, middle or back. The Stretch comes with retracting lower tethers and an easy lock-off and tensioning mechanism, that will ensure that the seat is fitted correctly in your vehicle. The strong support leg keeps the seat in a stable position in case of impact.

Made of long-lasting materials

Safety:

Under no circumstances should a rearward-facing car seat be used on a passenger seat where there is an active airbag

Correct fitting of all car seats and boosters is of paramount importance in making them the most effective in the event of an accident. Not all car seats fit all cars and it is important to check for fitting suitability on all cars you intend to fit the seat to, as well as re-checking if you change your car

Always read the instruction booklet that comes with your car seat to achieve a safe and correct fitting, retaining the guide for future reference. We recommend fitting your car seat in advance of first using it

We recommend that babies shouldn't be left in car seats (infant carriers) for prolonged periods

Suitability:

Please make sure that you check the car seat you choose is suitable for your car before ordering. This can be done in store with a Partner or on the car seat manufacturer's website

Some of our shops offer a car seat fit test, where a Nursery advisor will test the display model in your car to check that it will fit properly. Please contact your local shop to see if this service is available. Alternatively, please contact the car seat manufacturer who will be able to advise whether their model will be suitable for your car

We also offer in-store and virtual appointments so you can access our All Things Baby services at a time and place to suit you. Click here to book your appointment. or find your nearest department store here

All the car seats in our range are designed to give your child the best possible protection and meet the criteria set out in the R129 (iSize) safety regulation. A baby must travel in the safer rear-facing position up to the minimum recommended age of 15 months. Some R129 car seats can be used rear-facing until a child is 105cm tall, which is around 4 years old.

Side impact testing is assessed as part of the regulation to improve the protection of the child’s head and neck. R129 also makes use of the most high-tech crash test dummies which not only has improved sensor technology to test for greater sensitivity, but it also features more sensors on fragile areas of the body. iSize is an enhancement of R129 that makes it easier to confirm your car seat's compatibility with any iSize approved vehicle - reducing the risk of installing your car seat incorrectly. While all i-Size car seats meet the R129 testing standards, not every R129 car seat is an iSize compatible seat.

R129 (iSize) car seats are classified by height only. The below table is a rough guide as to how the car seats can relate to a child’s age based on the average child's height. In some instances, we may still need to check the weight of the child within the height band due to the maximum mass load permitted on a vehicle’s ISOFIX points.

Type	Height of Child	Approx. Age of Child
Baby	40-85cm	Birth up to 15 months
Toddler	40-105cm	Birth up to 4 years
Toddler	40-150cm	Birth up to 12 years
Toddler	76-150cm	15 months up to 12 years
Child	100-150cm	4 to 12 years

Note: This is a rough guide only. Please always refer to the individual car seat’s guidance for more specific details. Some car seats will be approved for use across two or more height bands. This just means that these seats have the ability to adapt as your child grows, meaning they can use them for longer.
