Joie i-Level Lie Flat Car Seats

What is an i-Level Lie Flat Car Seat?

To put it simply an i-Level Car Seat is a near lie-flat infant Car seat that is made to the new R129 and i-Size regulations. This means that it is rear-facing for much longer as well as being ISOFIX compatible when you go to install it. While optimised for infants, you can adjust most lie-flat models as the baby grows, so they can remain safe and comfortable over time.

How are i-Level Car Seats safe?

i-Level and Lie Flat Car Seats are both safe and comfortable for your baby due to the less restrictive harnesses which can be adjusted for baby's growth. Lying flat is a much better position for baby's neck and back and lie-flat car seats provide the best protective shell around your baby in the event of an accident. The seat will protect your child from both front and side impacts. It will also prevent your baby from losing the ability to move its head and neck after a crash.

In vertical car seats, your baby's seating position matters. You may not have thought about it too much, but the position can have detrimental effects on your baby's health. For example, if they fall asleep while sitting up, the angle may cause the chin to rest on the chest, cutting off airflow. The scrunched-up position is dangerous and should be avoided as it causes less oxygen to reach the lungs, which may result in lower levels of oxygen in baby's blood. Lie-flat car seats benefit your little one by avoiding this and laying the baby flat, so they can breathe properly with no danger of asphyxiation.
