{"product_id":"recaro-velix-1-in-gallant-grey","title":"Recaro Velix 1 in Gallant Grey","description":"\u003cp\u003eChoosing one car seat that stays useful from toddlerhood right through the primary school years means fewer purchases and a child who stays properly protected as they grow. The VELIX 1 is a forward facing i-Size Group 1\/2\/3 car seat designed for children from around 15 months up to 12 years, covering heights from 76 cm to 150 cm. It adjusts as your child gets taller, so one seat does the work of several.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSide Protection That Grows With Your Child\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide impacts are high on most parents' list of worries, and the VELIX 1 gives them real attention. As you raise the headrest, the side wings expand automatically, so the wrap around your child's head and shoulders widens in step with their height and shoulder width. Adaptive Side Protection adds a carefully shaped structure intended to improve stability and absorb impact energy in a side collision. The result is a snug, protective fit whether you are strapping in a toddler or buckling up a growing schoolchild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned to Be Used Correctly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA car seat only protects as well as it is set up, which is where the integrated height safety lock earns its place. Lower headrest positions stay locked for use with the 5 point harness, which is suitable up to 105 cm. Higher positions are released for use with the vehicle seat belt from 100 cm. It nudges you towards the right configuration at each stage rather than leaving it to guesswork. For smaller children the seat is fitted with ISOFIX and the top tether, and for taller children it switches to the vehicle's three point belt without the top tether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComfortable on Long Journeys\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm car, long drive, tired child is a combination every parent knows. The back of the seat shell has a large area of hexagonal openings that encourage air to circulate, which helps keep children cooler and drier. There are three recline positions at 95, 115 and 125 degrees, all adjusted with one hand, so it is easy to let a sleepy passenger settle or sit them more upright when they want to look out of the window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLight Enough to Move Between Cars\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just 9.7 kg, the VELIX 1 is easy to lift in and out of the car. That makes a real difference if it needs to swap between your car and a grandparent's, or move to a second family vehicle for the weekend. Switching between the 5 point harness and the vehicle seat belt is straightforward, so the seat is simple to adapt as your child reaches each new stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Long Term Choice for Growing Families\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VELIX 1 is approved to R129 i-Size, the latest European safety standard, which groups seats by height rather than weight. Once your child has outgrown their first seat and is ready to face forward, it can stay in the car for around a decade. That longevity, together with the ISOFIX connection and the option to use the seat belt, makes it a practical choice for families who would rather buy one dependable seat than several. As with any car seat, it is worth checking compatibility with your vehicle before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVELIX 1 Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGroup 1\/2\/3 forward facing seat for approximately 15 months to 12 years (76 to 150 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eR129 i-Size approved with ISOFIX connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDynamic expandable side wings that adjust automatically with the headrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdaptive Side Protection (ASP) for enhanced side impact absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated height safety lock to help prevent misuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 point harness with ISOFIX and top tether for 76 to 105 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle 3 point seat belt installation without top tether for 100 to 150 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVentilated seat back with hexagonal airflow openings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree recline positions with one handed adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 9.7 kg for easy transfer between vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVELIX 1 Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e R129 i-Size (EU), ISOFIX\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 15 months to 12 years, 76 to 150 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76 to 105 cm forward facing with ISOFIX, top tether and 5 point harness. 100 to 150 cm forward facing without top tether using the vehicle 3 point seat belt\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecline angles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95° \/ 115° \/ 125°\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 58 to 81 cm, width 41 to 45 cm, depth 49 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pelvis width 33 cm, shoulder width 36 to 41 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.7 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recaro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56544109003131,"sku":"B1104028","price":329.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1252\/1353\/files\/recaro-toddler-car-seats-recaro-velix-1-in-gallant-grey-b1104028-1264818993.jpg?v=1793033592","url":"https:\/\/www.babyandco.com\/products\/recaro-velix-1-in-gallant-grey","provider":"Baby \u0026 Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
