We’re excited to announce that Charlie by Swandoo will soon be available at Car Seat Ninja. This high back booster is designed for children transitioning into greater independence. Suitable for children from approximately 4 to 12 years (100–150 cm in height), Charlie combines cutting-edge safety features, comfort, and style. Charlie is a proud Red Dot Winner 2023 for its outstanding design and safety innovations. In independent testing with ADAC, Charlie received an impressive overall score of 1.9 “Good”, highlighting its excellent performance.
Key Features
Charlie features No-Fuss Seat Belt Routing, allowing children to secure themselves safely and independently. The Gro-Wing technology provides optimal internal space with automatic width adjustment as your child grows, ensuring a comfortable fit at every stage. It also includes Side Impact Buddy technology, which earned 5 stars for its effectiveness in providing extra protection during impact.
The adjustable headrest offers eleven positions for a perfect fit, combined with a cosy design for added comfort on any journey. It also features an eye level indicator that helps you adjust the headrest correctly every time. Continuous side protection delivers enhanced safety for the head, neck, and torso, providing peace of mind for every trip even when the headrest is at the highest point. There is also a removable panel under the fabric to offer a little more depth and growing room for a taller child!
The seat fabric includes a silicone dot pattern designed to help prevent submarining, adding an extra layer of safety in the event of sudden braking or a collision. The machine washable fabrics make it easy to keep clean, and Charlie includes a helpful tool to help you tuck the cover back in after washing. A thoughtful paramedic wristband stores essential health information that stays with your child.
For added comfort, Charlie is designed with ventilation holes and breathable fabrics, promoting excellent airflow and helping to keep your child cool. Installation is flexible and simple — Charlie can be fitted with or without ISOFIX in all vehicles. The ergonomic design blends safety, comfort, and independence, perfectly reflecting the spirit of evolutionary growth, just as its namesake, Charles Darwin, represents evolution.
