DD almost outgrown BeSafe iZi Combi - how to keep her RF?

7 replies

Hi,
DD1 is almost at the rf height limit for her BeSafe iZi Combi seat. We really, really do not want to turn her forward-facing yet. Can anyone recommend another car seat that will allow her to stay RF for a couple more years? We're willing to order from abroad if needed, as long as we can get safe fitting advice.
Thank you in advance!

Two way elite from in car safety milton Keynes. Rf to 25kgs! Love my twe.

Thank you - you don't happen to know what the height limit is off the top of your head (no pun intended), do you? No worries if not, I can search out the user manual!

the two way elite is a bit taller than the besafe that's for sure.

you know she's ok in the besafe til her eyes are level with the top of the seat though?

Ah, no I didn't know that thisisyesterday, thank you! I had the idea that it was the top of her head that would be level with the seat rather than her eyes. Okay, that buys us a few more months. I'm trying to work out how best to get 3 seats in our Ford Focus C-max when DC3 arrives in September - currently have two BeSafe isofix-es and in the attic, a Britax belt-install bucket seat that I've used until about 12 months with my younger 2 - so I'm also thinking ahead to the next seat for my oldest for when her youngest sibling is ready to go into the BeSafe. Gosh, this is complicated!

we couldn't fit 3 across the back using 2 besafe's. we had to have one besafe, one britax 2 way elite and one high-back booster.
the only booster that would fit was the britax adventure because it doesn't have armrests- any with an armrest hit the "horns" on the besafe,

that's in a volvo v70, so not sure how that compares with the c-max width-wise!

I just measured my TWE this morning, the height to the top of the seat is 60cms. Hope this helps!
