Innovative approach to the position of the child. Get to know the Pixel PRO modular insert.

How do you find a convenient car seat when comfort is such a subjective and individual feeling? What matters most is the design of the selected model. For example, a child seat for a new-born baby must ensure a correct position.

The Pixel PRO is distinguished by the innovative approach to the position of the child. Why?

The insert in Pixel PRO has been developed in cooperation with physiotherapists and specialists in the area of proper development of children. Thanks to the insert, a child naturally assumes the correct position in the car seat, and proper positioning improves breathing mechanics as well as minimises the risk of reflux.

The use of this innovative insert ensures 100% safety for premature and new-born babies – the modularity of the insert allows it to be fully adapted to the height and body of the child carried.

There are several possibilities of adjusting the child seat to the individual size of the child.

Get to know the steps of removing individual elements of the Pixel PRO insert 

1. When fastening the child in the car seat, pay attention to the height of the belts. The belts should come out of the shoulder area: slightly below or at the child’s shoulder line.
2. If the new-born baby is between 44 and 55 cm in height, it is recommended to use all elements of the insert.
3. If the side fillings of the insert put a lot of pressure on the child, remove them. The elements are hidden in the insert, on both sides of it.
4. If your child has reached over 55 cm, it may be time to reduce the block that is under the baby’s bottom. When modifying the block, pay attention to the side markings, which will facilitate its proper placement in the car seat.
5. You can reduce the block by pulling the smaller one from the inside.
6. Direct the block with the BACK and DOWN side towards the insert.
7. If your child is more than 60 cm, this is probably the perfect time to pull out a smaller block or all the elements of the insert.

Different combinations can be used to adjust the insert to your child’s size. It is important to always pay attention to the belts, which should come out from the shoulder height area: slightly below the child’s shoulder line or at its height.

If your baby has already outgrown the insert, get familiar with the tips to help you answer the question: “When to replace the 0-13 kg car seat?”

Experts agree that parents should use infant seats for as long as possible, as they provide the highest comfort level and side protection for the baby. Eventually, however, there comes a moment when the child grows out of it.

So when to replace the first car seat with a larger one?

1. Exceeding the weight limit, i.e. 13 kg – remember that even 0.5 kg makes a huge difference in this case. In the safety tests, dummies weighing not more than 13 kg are used, so it is not known how the car seat with a child weighing e.g. 13.5 kg and more will behave.
2. The height of the child above the acceptable standard, i.e. approx. 86 cm – carefully observe the position of the child in the baby carrier. If the head protrudes beyond the upper edge of the backrest, it is absolutely necessary to replace the car seat.
3. The harness belts are too short to comfortably fasten the baby

Keep in mind that safe transport of a child is one of the most important elements of caring for a little person. It is the parents’ responsibility to organise such conditions for the child in which the risk of an injury is as low as possible. Unfortunately, the mere purchase of any baby seat is often insufficient. The chosen model must still be very well suited to the toddler to provide him/her with a position which will make the journey safe and comfortable.
