To assist you in selecting the correct child seat, our range is divided into several categories or groups by the weight range for which they are suitable. These groups correspond broadly to approximate age groups, but remember that it is the weight of the child which is the critical factor in choosing a suitable child car seat. We do not recommend that you use a forward-facing seat until a child is above the minimum weight (9kg) and able to sit unaided.

Group 0 Up to 10kg (22lbs)
A rearward-facing seat which can be used in the front or rear of the car. Never use a rearward facing infant carrier or child seat on a passenger seat fitted with an airbag.
Group 0+ Up to 13kg (29lbs)
A rearward-facing seat which can be used in the front or rear of the car. Never use a rearward facing infant carrier or child seat on a passenger seat fitted with an airbag.
Group 1 9kg - 18kg (20 - 40lbs)
A forward-facing seat which can be used in the front or rear of the car. Generally these have a choice of upright and reclined positions.
Group 2 15kg - 25kg (33 - 55lbs)
A forward-facing seat or booster which can be used in the front or rear of the car. The booster seat lifts the child and positions adult lap and diagonal seat-belt correctly.
N.B. A booster seat lifts the child, allowing the use of adult lap and diagonal seat-belts. Some may have shoulder-belt guides for added comfort.
Group 3 22kg - 36kg (44 - 79lbs)
A forward-facing seat or booster which can be used in the front or rear of the car.

The groups listed correspond to the weight ranges in European Standard applying to child car seats. When groups overlap - Some overlap between Groups/weight-ranges does occur. As car seats are designed with versatility in mind, you will notice that certain of our child seats are approved in two groups or more.

Just remember the child’s weight is the determining factor in selecting the right seat.
