http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/choosing-using/children-undoing-their-harness/ Why does my child have to be in the child seat's weight range? We couldn’t find a Cozy N Safe Excalibur ADAC rating but the car seat is ECE R44.04 Safety Certified. Cozy N Safe Excalibur Car Compatibility After you’ve figured out how to best install it, it’s actually really simple and straightforward using either the Isofix or the seat belt. If your car has a top tether bit in the boot, you can possibly use that too. Why? What do we love about it? It’s easy to think ‘seen one, seen them all’ when it comes to car seats but while the bold, snazzy print and quirky design features of my old seat initially held more appeal than the under-stated look of the Excalibur, it turns out the Excalibur is just much more versatile, and exponentially more comfortable.

The fact that you can recline the seat is amazing and adjusting it is really simple by pulling a handle at the front of the seat. If you know your child is ready for a nap or you’re driving in the evening or at night and you want them to fall asleep, definitely recline the seat for them to make them more comfortable. No more heads bobbing forward as your child falls asleep in the car!Our nearly 4-year-old doesn’t nap anymore and rarely falls asleep in the car unless we drive really long distances ( like our trip to Wales earlier this year) or if it’s night-time and she should be in bed. We’ve not been on any road trips since getting this car seat so she’s not napped in it but I know she could fall asleep in it in the daytime as she’s been so close to nodding off but then we’ve reached our destination before she could fall asleep. There are a few ways to fit the seat in your car, and it did seem a little confusing at first when reading through the instructions. After more or less getting my head around it, I decided to take the plunge and to be honest, it is pretty straightforward when it comes to it. I decided to go with fitting the seat with ISOFIX and then used the top tether, which hooks up to a little bar in the car’s boot to add a little more sturdiness. Always be sure that your car seat and base are fitted correctly and are compatible with your child and car. Always refer to your instruction manual. If you make a longer trip ensure that you take regular breaks to allow your little one to stretch out for a while away from their car seat.

The harness is really easy to adjust too, with just a tap of a button and the pulling of the belt. It’s really effortless actually, whether tightening or loosening. I found it so much easier than the last seat my son had. I am reviewing the Cozy N Safe Excalibur graphite, Item Number: EST02 A little bit about Cozy N SafeThe Excalinur Car Seat is the ideal addition for families with multiple cars and who are always ready for their next adventure. The covers are easily removed and washable at 30°C. The seat seems of good quality, is strong, and has side impact protection (SIP) shown by quite a big logo on the side of it, which is a reassuring thing to see for a parent. It seems like a pretty sturdy addition to our travels.
