Britax Safe-n-Sound Maxi Guard PRO - TEX
All the great features of the ever popular Maxi Guard Pro and now with the hygenic and convenience of the TEX covers.
When your child outgrows their 0-4 seat but you want to keep them harnessed (a very good idea for the under-8s), then a type G seat is the go, and the Maxi Guard Pro by Britax Safe-n-Sound is a premium restraint and a superior choice.
Extra Side Impact protection in the headrest and upper torso area of the seat add to the standard safety features of the seat, and the bamboo charcoal fabric is both soft and moisture wicking to avoid sweaty bods.
An easy-adjust harness means the seat does not have to be removed to alter the harness height, and it's an easy one click job s you'll never have the harness at the wrong height. This feature makes the seat perfect for grandparents, occasional carers and for second cars.
This seat will last a child until they are generally 8 years old by which stage we would recommend moving to a booster seat like the Britax Kid Guard, especially if they are not yet 145cm or meeting the 5-step test for sitting in a car without any restraint.
At Baby Things, we recommend that babies stay in a rearward-facing restraint for as long as they still fit, even though the law allows children over 6 months to use a forward-facing restraint. Rearward facing restraints offer far more protection as long as the child still fits in it. (Neuroscience Research Australia and Kidsafe).
