protect™ i-Size infant car seat with recline
-
Designed for absolute ease and comfort for both parent and baby, protect™ is an exceptional infant car seat delivering innovation like no other. With the highest safety standards with i-Size, a lightweight carry, and considered luxury comfort, all thoughtfully engineered to make life easier from the first journey out the hospital doors.
Its reclinable back allows for supporting your baby’s comfort and rest wherever the day takes you – in the car with one recline position, or on the buggy and at home with four additional recline angles off the base.
protect™ also makes a beautiful travel system by seamlessly clicking onto your buggy, allowing your little one to rest so you can continue to move freely through your day with fewer disruptions, knowing your baby is at their best ergonomic lie flat position.
The optional 360° swivel unity base lets you rotate the seat toward you while in the car, giving you effortless access to secure and adjust the harness and lift your baby in and out – reducing strain and awkward angles while staying in protect™.
From intuitive usability to uncompromising safety, protect™ is designed to give you freedom and confidence during your baby’s earliest adventures.
