Designed for absolute ease and comfort for both parent and baby, protect™ is an exceptional infant car seat delivering innovation like no other. With the highest safety standards with i-Size, a lightweight carry, and considered luxury comfort, all thoughtfully engineered to make life easier from the first journey out the hospital doors.
Its reclinable back allows for supporting your baby’s comfort and rest wherever the day takes you – in the car with one recline position, or on the buggy and at home with four additional recline angles off the base.
protect™ also makes a beautiful travel system by seamlessly clicking onto your buggy, allowing your little one to rest so you can continue to move freely through your day with fewer disruptions, knowing your baby is at their best ergonomic lie flat position.
The optional 360° swivel unity base lets you rotate the seat toward you while in the car, giving you effortless access to secure and adjust the harness and lift your baby in and out – reducing strain and awkward angles while staying in protect™.
From intuitive usability to uncompromising safety, protect™ is designed to give you freedom and confidence during your baby’s earliest adventures.

**SAFETY NOTICE**
We encourage customers to always check the integrity of their car seat and base, and have it installed by a trained professional.
We recommend replacing any car seat that has been involved in a crash. Even if it looks fine, there could be internal damage that would make it unsafe. The seat has done its job by protecting your child and therefore needs replacing. Most insurance companies will cover this expense. To be sure, please request a police report on the accident.
The seat reclines to lie flat when used as a travel system on the buggy OR indoors, so your baby rests soundly on the move.
advanced impact protection
Thick EPP foam with additional built-in side impact protection absorb (this redirects crash forces away from your baby). The high R129 standard tests forward rear and side impact and protect™ is also tested for rollover.
high performance injection moulding
The form and performance is on point with the injection molding of the car seat, allowing for a precise and smooth use of protect™. Injection molding creates the ability to produce intricate designs that have finer details, allowing for thinner parts and more delicate surface finishes. Furthermore, this also means we can integrate elements seamlessly, reducing assembly steps and helping with the overall structural integrity.
