protect i-Size infant car seat with recline and rotating isofix base
Rotate. Recline. Protect.
Designed for modern parents, protect™ is the ultimate infant car seat – the highest in safety standards, light in weight and plush in looks; thoughtfully designed to make life easier for you from day one. With its innovative 180° swivel base, you can turn the seat toward you for easy access, reducing strain and awkward angles when lifting your baby in or out. One recline angle in the car, and 4 more for full recline when off the base (on the buggy or at home); this delivers for your little one comfort and rest while you're on the move.
From its intuitive design to its uncompromising safety, freedom comes with protect™ - the perfect companion for your baby’s first adventures — in the car, on the buggy and everywhere in between. Breathable fabrics, ergonomic design, peace of mind.
protect™ is built for life. Built for you.
Extra bases available
If you want to easily move between multiple cars, purchase an individual isofix base with rotate function.

**SAFETY NOTICE**
We encourage customers to always check the integrity of their car seat and base, and have it installed by a trained professional.
We recommend replacing any car seat that has been involved in a crash. Even if it looks fine, there could be internal damage that would make it unsafe. The seat has done its job by protecting your child and therefore needs replacing. Most insurance companies will cover this expense. To be sure, please request a police report on the accident.
The innovative 180° rotation on the car seat base allows protect™ to swivel facing you, making it easier to lift your baby in and out, and make fit adjustments easily — no more awkward angles or strained backs.

high performance injection moulding
The form and performance is on point with the injection molding of the car seat, allowing for a precise and smooth use of protect™. Injection molding creates the ability to produce intricate designs that have finer details, allowing for thinner parts and more delicate surface finishes. Furthermore, this also means we can integrate elements seamlessly, reducing assembly steps and helping with the overall structural integrity.
