Understanding Child Seat Groups

When choosing a Chelino car seat, it's crucial to select the correct type based on your child's weight.

Child car seats are categorized into groups, and it's illegal for a child to be in the wrong type of seat according to their weight.

Ensuring your child is in the appropriate Chelino car seat group is essential for their safety.

An ill-fitting seat can pose risks, especially if the harness presses on the wrong part of the body during an accident.

Official Child Seat Groups:

• Group 0: Newborn to 10 kg
• Group 0+: Newborn to 13 kg
• Group 1: Children 9-18 kg
• Group 2: Children 15-25 kg
• Group 3: Children 22-36 kg

Rearward-Facing Seats: The Safest Option

It is advisable to use a rearward-facing Chelino car seat for as long as possible.

In South Africa, the law mandates that children under 10 kg must be in a rearward-facing position. Research shows that rearward-facing Chelino car seats significantly reduce the risk of neck injuries in the event of an accident. In Europe, it is common for children to remain in rearward-facing seats until they are between 4 and 8 years old.

While most economy executive car seat models are forward-facing, if you prefer a rearward-facing option, you can request it via email. Ensuring the right Chelino car seat for your child’s size and weight is key to their safety on the road.
