Buying Guide
Child car seat safety
By law all children under the age of 12 and under 135cm (4ft 5in) tall must use a Car Seat or Booster Seat appropriate for their weight.
How to find the right car seat or booster seat for your child
Weigh your child and use the following guide (weight is the only measure you should apply - ages quoted are approximate).
Safety Note: never use a rear-facing car seat on a passenger seat fitted with an active airbag.
| Group | Category of car seat or booster seat | Approximate age of child |
| 0+ | up to 13kg - a rear-facing car seat | Up to 12-15 months |
| 1 | 9kg to 18kg - a forward-facing child seat | 12 months to 4 years |
| 2 | 15kg to 25kg - a booster seat with integral back | 4 years to 6 years |
| 3 | 22kg to 36kg - a booster seat | 6 years to 12 years |
Fitting Your Forward Facing Car Seat – handy tip
When fitting your forward facing car seat, position it centrally on your vehicle’s seat. Using your knee, press the car seat firmly into the vehicle’s seat and tighten the car seat belts. This ensures a really tight fit into your car. Once fitted, please ensure the car seat belts are not twisted and re-tighten regularly.

Clothing
All our children's clothes allow generous room for growth and most are dual sized by age. Use the guide above and the measurements provided to ensure you order the correct size.

Please check the size chart has printed out to the correct size by measuring the scale at the bottom of the chart, this must measure 10cm otherwise the indicated size may not be accurate.
Please fold the paper along the dotted line and place the chart on a hard surface against an immovable vertical surface such as a skirting board to help gain an accurate measure.
Place the left foot on the chart and record the length of the foot (e.g. 2¼) repeat for the right foot (e.g. 2½).
Based on these results a size 3 would be selected. As most people's feet are not the same size the size of shoe is determined by the largest foot.
Children will also need some growing room so if the fitting indicates either foot is longer than the full size it may be beneficial to order the next size up.
