What type of car seat is suitable for children of this age?

For older children, such as those covered by this collection, the recommended seat is a booster seat with a backrest (group 2/3 or i-Size for taller children), such as the Chicco Quasar i-Size. This type of seat raises the child so the car's seat belt sits correctly over the shoulder and hip.

Up to what height or age should a booster seat be used?

It's recommended to keep your child in a booster seat until they reach around 135 to 150 cm tall, at which point the car's seat belt fits their body correctly without a booster. The i-Size standard classifies these seats by height; check the limits shown on the product page.

Does the Chicco Quasar meet the i-Size regulation?

Yes. The Chicco Quasar i-Size is approved to the European i-Size (R129) standard, which is based on your child's height and strengthens side protection. It's recommended to always check the approval label on the seat and follow the stated height range.

Why is it important for the seat to have a backrest and not just the seat base?

The backrest of a booster seat is essential because it correctly positions the diagonal part of the seat belt over the shoulder, offers side protection for the head and torso, and provides support during sleep. This is why booster seats with a backrest are preferable to those with just a base.

Does the seat attach with Isofix or just with the belt?

Models such as the Chicco Quasar i-Size can be fitted using the ISOFIX connectors, which secure the seat to the car seat and keep it stable even when your child isn't sitting in it, with your child restrained by the car's 3-point seat belt. We recommend confirming ISOFIX compatibility with your vehicle.

From what point can a child travel without a car seat?

In Portugal, children under 135 cm should, as a rule, travel in a restraint system suited to their height and weight. Only once they reach the recommended height, where the seat belt protects them correctly, can they stop using a booster seat. It's recommended to always prioritise safety and follow current legislation.
