On a high back booster, the belt guides do a big job. Both parts of the belt, the lap belt and the diagonal, go underneath the guide (on the side where the buckle is).

If one part ends up over the top, the belt can’t sit where it should. Under the guide, the lap belt stays low across the hips. It’s an easy one to miss, especially when your big kid starts buckling themselves in, so give it a quick check every time they climb in.

Save this for when you’re fitting yours.

One of my most commonly asked questions: “They’re nearly 105cm, is it time for a booster?”

Swipe through for the alternative to keep them rear-facing to 125cm, and why the label isn’t the whole story.

A lot of parents fit the seat, give it a wiggle, and still aren’t quite sure. The Thule Maple Connect checks the install for you, right there on your CarPlay screen and in the Thule app.

➕ ISOFIX left and right
➕ Support leg
➕ Seat secured
➕ Buckle fastened
➕ Harness secured

Red means it needs a quick adjustment, and the app tells you exactly what to do. Green means you’re good to go.

A lot of parents dread fitting a new car seat. With the Avionaut Pixel Pro 2.0C and the IQ Orbit base, it’s straightforward.

➕ Click the ISOFIX arms onto your car’s ISOFIX points
➕ Push the base back firmly against the seat
➕ Lower the support leg until it’s on the floor
➕ Click the Pixel Pro 2.0C onto the base
➕ Turn it to the door to lift baby in and out, then back rear-facing before you drive

Seatbelt fit or ISOFIX base? Here’s the honest answer: what keeps your baby safe is how well the seat is installed and how it fits them. A carrier fitted correctly with the seatbelt is a safe install 💜

If you’re using the seatbelt to fit your infant carrier, here’s what to check:

✔️ Lap belt: goes across the front of the carrier, over where your baby’s legs are, and sits in both lap belt guides
✔️ Shoulder belt: goes around the back of the seat’s shell and into the rear belt guide
✔️ Pull it tight: take out any slack so the carrier doesn’t tip or slide
✔️ No twists: the belt should lie flat the whole way
✔️ Check the handle: this can differ between different seats, it may be upright or down towards baby’s toes

And the most important one: always check your manual. Every carrier is a little different. Belt routing, where the handle goes when you’re driving, and whether your car’s belt is long enough can all vary between seats and cars. The manual (and your car’s handbook) has the final say.

Not sure about yours? That’s what I’m here for. With the Plus Promise you get free fit checks and installation support for life, so pop into the Fakenham showroom or send a message 🚗

Both seats passed the Swedish Plus Test. But here’s how they differ.

BeSafe Beyond 2:
💚 ISOFIX base with Universal Level Technology (yes the gap under the base is ok) clear green indicators and support leg for a quick install
💚 Smooth rotation to turn your child straight toward the car door
💚 Extended rear-facing up to 125cm and 22kg (approx. 6 years old)

BeSafe Stretch 2:
🧡 Belted installation with vehicle seatbelt, lower tethers, and support leg
🧡 Huge 36kg weight limit up to 125cm (approx. 7 years old), giving maximum longevity for high-centile children
🧡 Reclines after installation - the only 125cm/36kg seat to do this

Both seats carry the Plus Test mark, the world’s strictest crash test that guarantees minimal neck loads. You get top-tier safety with both. The decision comes down to the everyday convenience of an ISOFIX swivel versus the sheer longevity of a 36kg belted install.

Choosing between them means considering your child’s growth, the fit in your car and what makes everyday journeys easier for you.

Drop us a DM with your child’s age, height, weight, and your vehicle model, or book an appointment at our showroom.
