Recaro Kio i-Size Car Seat

Suitable for infants 61-105cm in height R129-compliant (i-Size ready) Isofix compatible The Recaro Kio car seat is designed with parents in mind. With features that adhere to the highest levels of comfort, safety and style, there really is no better travel companion for the early stages of your child's journey. With smart openings in the outer shell and mesh inserts in the seat, your baby can enjoy the highest level of comfort thanks to optimal air circulation. Key Features: One-handed adjustment: the KIO has five resting positions, whether placed in a front or rear-facing position. The resting position is very flat and enables optimum comfort. R129 compliant: The child seat fulfils the stringent safety standards in accordance with R129. Simple and secure installation thanks to isofix connectors. Advanced Side Protection (ASP): The integrated protectors can be affixed quickly and simply to the child seat. In the event of a side collision, the energy absorbers reduce the force that would act upon the child. Please note this car seat can only be used with the Recaro i-size compatible base (31552318). 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 which 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.

Car seats adhere to strict safety regulations and conform to one of the following two types of seats: Height-based seats - These seats adhere to the safety regulation R129. They must be rear-facing until your child is over 15 months old. Your child can use a forward-facing child car seat when they're over 15 months old. You must check the seat to make sure it's suitable for the height of your child. i-Size is an enhancement of R129 that makes it easier to confirm your car seat's compatibility with any i-Size 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 i-Size compatible seat. Weight-based seats - These seats adhere to the R44.04 car seat regulation. The seat your child can use (and the way they must be restrained in it) depends on their weight. 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 weight or height depending on the regulation chosen. Car Seat Age Guide: table,th,td {border: 1px solid black;} Group Child's weight* Approx. age of child Child's height† 0+ Birth up to 13kg/29lb Birth up to 12-15 months 40 - 85cm 0+ & 1 Birth up to 18kg/40lb Birth to up to about 4 years 40 - 105cm 0+, 1, 2 & 3 Birth-36kg/79lb Birth to 12 years 40 - 150cm 1 9-18kg/20-40lb About 9 months to 4 years 85 - 105cm 1, 2 & 3 9-36kg/20-79lb About 9 months to 12 years 85 - 150cm 2 & 3 15-36kg/33-79lb About 4-12 years 105 - 150cm *Applies to R44.04 seats. † Applies to R129 (i-Size) seats. 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 in two or more groups or across various height bands. This just means that these seats have the ability to adapt as your child grows, meaning they can use them for longer.
