Summary
Neutral Recommendation : The Infa Secure quattro is a narrow car seat with extended rear facing. Unfortunately the harness increment is 40mm; meaning that it is not possible to get a tight harness fit. The tether strap originating in the middle makes the installatiion difficult when there is an integrated headrest.
Infa Secure have finally released their A4 baby car seat, the Infa Secure Quattro Baby Car seat with the publication of the post from Infa Secure explaining the New Quattro Treo baby Car seat.
What is a A4 Extended Baby Car Seat
An A4 Baby Car seat is an extended rear facing child restraint designed to rear face though to a large 30 month old. It has two rear facing shoulder height markers – the first which you must rearward face to, and the second is an optional label, which you can rearward face to if you wish to (large 30 month old).
Smallest Baby Car seat on the Market
With the release of the Infa Quattro car seat, Infa Secure have secured the title of the slimmest car seat on the market with a maximum width (at its widest point) of 42 cm which is 2 cm slimmer than the slimm-line ahr (compaq) from Britax. This is great news for parents who have a small SUV or even a small sedan as it means that you can now fit three baby car seats easily with a minimum back seat width of 126 cm. a whole 6 cm narrower than previous other carseats by britax and maxi cosi.
Air Cocoon Technology
Many parents do not realise that all INFA Secure car seats are blow molded which makes the child restraints inherently safer as they have air injected with the plastic. Squeeze an Infa Carseat today and listen to the air just like one big cocoon around your child. No add-ons, no upgrades and no extra cost…. The Infa Quattro car seat has ACT (Air Cocoon Technology).
Infa Secure Quattro Secur-Air
Infa as the leaders in car safety technology have innovated a new safety feature; the Secur-air crumple zone, which works together with the Air Cocoon Technology to provide superior head protection for your child.
Hassle Free Harness
The Infa Quattro carseat like infa Evolve; is much easier to use than many other child restraints on the market. The features of the Quattro include:
- Twist and Lift mechanism,
- Baby cool fabric
- Easy to clean
- extended rear facing
Unlike other child restraints with a harness adjusting mechanism, the infa quattro does not need to have the harness loosened before you lift the harness to the new position, thus making the infa quattro one of the easiest child restraints to use in Australia
Keeping baby cool Fabric
Infa have also introduced a new hard wearing, cool and breathable active fabric which helps to keep you child cooler, by drawing moisture away from the babies skin.
Other A4 carseat manufacturers
Maxi Cosi Have released their A4 Child restraints on the 13 July; after an initial release on April 2015; showed that the A4 child restraints released by Maxi Cosi in April were not Certified by SAI GLOBAL; resulting in a number of recalled products.
Maxi Cosi have the Maxi Cosi A4 Hera And the Maxi Cosi A4 Euro
A4 Height Markers
The A4 baby child restraint; was introduced in the 2013 Australian Standard; (approved on 17 September 2014). The A4 Car seat is a seat; which has three shoulder height markers\. The lowest marker indicates that you can turn your little child forward facing; however you can leave your child rear facing until they reach the middle shoulder height marker.
The highest RF marker is at 39cms
