FAQs
What is i-Size and ECE R129?
i-Size and ECE R129 are the latest European safety standards for child car seats. They focus on improved side-impact protection and mandate rear-facing travel for longer, using height as the primary fitting criterion.
Can I use this seat in a car without Isofix?
No, this specific model, the SK5000I, is designed exclusively for vehicles equipped with Isofix anchor points for secure installation.
What age is this seat suitable for?
The seat is suitable for children from 76cm up to 150cm in height. This typically corresponds to children from approximately 15 months to 12 years old, depending on their individual growth.
How do I clean the seat cover?
The seat cover is usually removable. Refer to the product manual for specific washing instructions, but generally, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
What is the weight limit for this seat?
The primary fitting criterion is height (76-150cm) as per i-Size regulations. Always refer to the product manual for any specific weight considerations or limits.
Do I need to use the vehicle's seat belt with Isofix?
