Now that car seat law states that all children under 12 who are less than 135cm tall must have some form of child car seat or booster seat, many parents have been taking a closer look at Group 2/3 car seats. (These are the seats your child needs after the toddler stage.)
In the past many have probably just though a little booster seat was enough to make do until their child was about 8 years old, but now the business of protecting all ages of children in vehicles has got serious, and it's great to see car seat manufacturers respond by designing adaptable car seats that will see you child through the years but also in designs which look less nursery and more 'va va voom'!
The LIFT EVO PT
While all car seats have to come up to Europe-wide safety standards some have the edge over other designs because they have added a sense of fun to the important job of function.
In eight vibrant colours, Concord's LIFT EVO range has something for even the fussiest little traveller. In its design, it is also suitable for children from 3 to 12 years, so there's no need to spend yet more money on another car seat in a couple of years' time.
The seat's high backrest allows full support for even the older end of the age bracket, and it also affords extra protection from side-impact collisions.
The headrest is adjustable to seven different heights, and adapted by depth which, when combined with shoulder protectors that grow with the child, means the LIFT EVO PT can adapt with your child.
The LIFT EVO is light and easy to fit, which makes it useful when you are ferrying other children around, or switching to a friend's car for trips and school runs.
Great little extras
Along with the back support and head rest, there are padded armrests, making it a comfy experience even on longer journeys. The shell is ergonomically designed to ensure a good ride.
The seat also has an 'integrated air circulation system' to make sure it doesn't get too sticky when the car is hot in traffic or in warmer weather. The fabric is also durable and easy to wash.
The Concord LIFT EVO PT has a price range of £84.99 to £94.99, depending on which cover you choose. It is suitable for use with children weight 15 to 36kg (age approx 3 to 12, though child weight and height is a better gauge than child age).
