Choosing a car seat brand Inglesina

Content

The purchase of a child restraint is one of the most important acquisitions of newly-made parents. It helps to protect the child from the many dangers that lie in wait not only for drivers, but also for their passengers on busy roads. The car seat brand Inglesina can become a guarantor of peace and a representative of the high European class quality.

Special features

The Inglesina brand originates in refined Italy. It was there that in 1963, the founder of the company Liviano Tomasi decided to create baby strollers. Each product that came out of his hands and the hands of his team was distinguished by maneuverability, quality and a delicate sense of style inherent only in the Italian soul. And these are not just beautiful words, because the first London stroller from the brand is released in a new design to this day, proudly carrying the name Classica. Consumers are happy to acquire models that have been tested for decades and have not lost their relevance.

The successful decade of the company's life was marked by a new round of development. The start of the production of car seats placed on Inglesina an even greater responsibility for protecting the life of children, with which she completely copes. New technologies and developments are quickly introduced, thoroughly checked and applied in updated collections. The Russian quality has already been widely appreciated by the Russians, for more than 20 years the company has been actively developing the largest distribution network.

The main difference of the seats is the Isofix secure attachment system, which allows the holding device to be fixed in a fixed, rigid position. She is equipped with many products of the brand with the exception of avtolyulek-carriers. This decision was made by the founder, taking into account the deplorable statistics about the large number of fasteners and the incorrectness of their installation by their parents. The result was the injury of children, even with minor accidents.

Today Isofix supplied all cars of foreign manufacturers, beginning in 1990 release. Domestic cars began to be supplemented with the system in 2011. This allows you to consider the mount suitable for the vast majority of cars and their owners.

The innovative system today consists of two carbines, which easily fit into the anchor brackets of the car, located between the back and the rear passenger seat. Thus, the restraint is fixed by the body itself, which is safer than installing using belts.

Despite the high degree of security, the system is complemented by a Top Tether mount, resembling an anchor in its design. It is a belt that goes on top of the restraint, and is attached to a special bracket in the car. Often, this bracket is located in the bottom of the trunk or behind the head restraint of the rear passenger seat. Top Tether is considered to be the most convenient to install, however, it cannot be used outside the tandem with a rigid mounting system.

All Inglesina seats can be installed not only in the rear, but also in the front passenger seats. For the implementation of this idea, the models are supplemented with special slots for standard mounting, since the Isofix system cannot be applied on the front seat. With a clear installation, a holding device fixed in this way protects against possible injury as effectively as newer systems.

When creating car seats, the company is guided by a single European standard for the manufacture of restraints according to five age groups:

  • 0 - includes models for babies from birth to 6 months, with the maximum permissible load not exceeding 10 kg;
  • 0+ - models for children from birth to 1 year old with a maximum load of up to 13 kg;
  • 1 - devices for children from 1 to 4 years old and weighing 9-18 kg;
  • 2 - chairs for children from 3 to 7 years old with a permissible load of 15 to 25 kg;
  • 3 - models for children from 6 to 12 years old and weighing 22-36 kg.

The Inglesina brand also produces restraints combined by age groups. This solution allows you to use high-quality design for a long time. Thus, the Newton 1.2.3 model Ifix was able to combine in itself 1, 2 and 3 groups, opening up a chair for consumers with the possibility of using a baby from 1 year to 12 years.

User's manual

Instructions for use of seats with isofix system and with fastening using standard seat belts are significantly different from each other. Also, special attention is given to the installation of avtolyulki to the base and without it.

Isofix models belong to the category of semi-universal models, and therefore must be acquired only after reading the list of vehicles suitable for it.

Izofiks chair is installed in the back seat of the car in the direction of travel. With deep pressure on the side buttons on the seat frame, you must wait until the carbines are fully released. Fasteners must be placed in the grooves of the car passenger seat, and then supplemented with anchor belt or telescopic support leg.

To install the device using seat belts, a seat is placed against or in the direction of travel on any of the car passenger seats. Car belts should pass in accordance with the numbering in all grooves of the restraint device on the back under the cover of the product. The base for avtolyulek can be fixed with the help of seat belts according to the detailed scheme attached by the manufacturer or with the help of carbines.

It is worth noting that these are two different bases, and therefore, before buying, you should make sure which model fits into a particular machine.Anyway, the cradle itself is attached to the base by simply pressing the lever and its subsequent snapping.

Reviews

The Inglesina holding devices were loved by parents from Russia. According to many, the European quality is immediately noticeable and shows itself in all the years of operation. So, chairs with years of experience due to removable covers that can be washed, always remain fresh and have a presentable appearance.

More positive reviews are directed to the combined models for older children. Consumers note the affordable cost of seats with standard seat belts, the availability of innovative developments and convenience while traveling.

The presence of negative reviews can be observed among the comments on the models for kids, for example, regarding the Ingolsina Huggy Multifix car carrier. Thus, parents note the non-anatomical location of the baby in it and its almost sedentary position. Head crumbs while resting his chin in the chest. Also among the shortcomings note base with fastening on seat belts, which, according to many, is unsafe and inconvenient. Non-rigid grip makes the seat moveable.

Nevertheless, many of the models have earned the respect of Russians, and therefore can compete with other brands and delight the child with high protection.
