Britax Römer ECLIPSE Group 1 (9-18kg) Car Seat - Flame Red

Product Information

Hi, I'm British but living abroad and would like some advice on what 'spare' car seat to bring to the UK for travelling with a 1-year-old (he is currently 9 months and 10kg). We would need to take a car seat with us on a 1hr coach trip from the airport and the bus company is being slow in responding and not very helpful! And perhaps my questions are a bit silly too because I'm a new mum and not used to UK car seat set-ups! Your seat meets the European Safety Standard. Note the last two digits: these should end in 04 (latest version) or 03. R44-01 or 02 are not legal and may not be sold or used since 2008. Only certain types of car seat, often called an ‘infant carrier’, can connect onto your pushchair. And all seats are not compatible with every brand or model of pushchair. If you choose the right combination then an infant carrier plus travel system can offer a flexible, cocooning way of transporting your small child on the road and pavement.
