The best travel companion to make the transition from a rear facing seat to a highback booster as smooth and as comfortable as possible 

KneeGuardKids4, the first fully adjustable crash tested footrest helps to maintain the correct sitting position of the child in every forward facing car seat without a support leg in place, whenever travelling by car, regardless of the distance. Footrest eliminates numbness in the child’s legs as they will no longer lean against the edges of the car seat which causes pressure under the knees. What’s important, KneeGuardKids, when supporting legs, makes the child's back rest against the seat and its head remains within the protected area. It is easy to assemble and adjust to individual needs of a little passenger. It is suitable for children up to 9-10 years old. Suitable for cars with and without ISOFIX. In both cases, the footrest is fixed equally securely. In the event of an accident, it does not move around the vehicle cabin, so it does not pose a threat to passengers. It is recommended for children who kick into the seat in front or experience sore legs and back. The new model of the KneeGuardKids4 footrest was singled out in the Concept & Innovation Baby Products Association (UK) and Kind+Jugend (DE) competition.

 When children's legs are dangling, strong pressure under their knees and calves, as a result of disordered blood and lymph circulation, is causing discomfort, numbness, pins and needles sensation and also weights the knee joints. The footrest maintaining the correct position of the hips and back in the car seat, correct seatbelt routing and avoiding kicking the seat in front of them. Child’s dangling legs cause not only discomfort but also lead to adverse effects, which may be dangerous when traveling by car. Lack of footrest will lead to disordered blood and lymph circulation resulting in numbness and pain in the legs. Kicking into the back of the seat in front is the symptom that child feels discomfort and looks for opportunities to improve it. It is very important for the child’s safety to use the child car seat correctly. If the child does not sit in the correct position, even a slight collision or emergency braking may have serious consequences. The child’s limbs may suffer multiple injuries. Car seat will protect child effectively only if it maintains a correct sitting position in a car, like a crash test dummy. Car seat footrest also helps avoid frequent, forced stops due to child’s discomfort both during long trips and short ones. The footrest is parents’ investment in the safety, health and comfort of children traveling in a forward-facing car seats. It is easy to assemble and adjust to individual needs of a little passenger. It is suitable for children up to 10 years old. KneeGuardKids footrest can be firmly and easily attached in both vehicles with and without the ISOFIX system.

KneeGuardKids has received positive feedback both from parents and experts in Poland, Germany, Spain, UK and USA. STOP dangling legs in the car.

Extended Rear Facing

Extended rear facing (ERF) car seats are becoming more popular after the safety benefits were realised in Sweden by child safety experts to keep children travelling as safely as possible on the road and from that developed the Swedish Plus Test which subjects seats entered for the test through harsher crash testing than standardised testing does.  Newborn car seats are always rear facing and there’s no reason to change that for the toddler stage. Rear facing child seats are safer and more comfortable than forward facing equivalents and all car seat suppliers have ERF options to choose from within their ranges.

Children should be rear facing for as long as possible and the best type of seat will be the one most suited to their weight and height so it will vary from child to child. Seeking the advice from a car seat specialist to check it fits your car and child will ensure you get the safest seat and get best value for money to ensure your child can stay rear facing from ages birth to 6 (approx).
