The Maxi Guard is easy to fit and the five-point internal harness and headrest are adjustable from the front without having to remove the seat from the vehicle. Its AHR (active head restraint) provides significant energy absorption in the event of a crash too.

We recommend the Maxi Guard for parents/carers who need to transport children of varying sizes, or for the oldest child when a second child comes along and needs the original seat. In most cars, it will see a child through to an adult seatbelt, removing the need to buy a booster seat.

Important information
This seat is forward facing only and, although rated from 6 months, children rarely meet the minimum height markers at this age. Children should be kept rearward-facing until at least 12 months of age, so we don't recommend using these seats until your child is at least a year old, at which time they should then meet the minimum height marker.

From 4 to 7 years old, children must use either an approved child safety seat with inbuilt harness or a booster seat with a seatbelt. If the seat is used in a position that only has a lap seatbelt, then an approved child safety harness must be used. It’s important to check your booster seat is compatible with a harness.
