FAQs

What EU safety standards does this car seat meet?
i-Starter meets the highest ECE R129 safety standards, including side impact testing, with i-Size certification for a guaranteed fit in any i-Size approved vehicle.

 

Does this car seat require a base for installation?
While i-Starter is compatible with i-Base Encore to add a 90° spin and i-Base lx 2, it does not require a base for installation, and can also be installed in your vehicle with the 3-point vehicle belt.

 

When do I remove the infant insert from this seat?
The infant insert adds side protection for your baby and we recommend using the infant insert while your littlie is under 60 cm or until they outgrow the insert. You can remove the infant insert when your child's shoulders no longer fit comfortably and they are starting to look cramped or restricted.

 

Can this car seat be used on a flight?
i-Starter is not airline approved for in-flight use.

 

How do I clean i-Starter's covers when they are dirty?
You can spot clean light marks with gentle cleaners. For heavier dirt, the covers are removable and machine washable in cold water on the delicate cycle with a gentle detergent. Do not place in the dryer - hang dry only. Do not bleach, dry clean, or iron them.
