Urban Kanga Travel Car Seat Portable and Foldable Group 1 for 9-18 Kg Uptown (TV107) (Black)

Product Information

Because the Comfort Up passes the minimum legal regulations for R44 car seats, it can still be legally sold and there's no recall on the product.

It's been tested twice as two separate models. The crash test of the original model was downgraded because the top tether hook touched the head of the dummy and they felt this was a risk; the actual performance was 1 point better - 2.3 for frontal, which is a very good score in this category. As you can see, the performance is even better in the newer model. 1.9 for a harnessed seat is fantastic. The crash test rating is not good; the side impact protection is basically nothing at all (more of a problem for this age group which is why it gets a worse score) and they rate it with a high risk of making an error while using, which is a problem, because if it's not fitted correctly then it's likely to perform worse even than this already not-great score.At the end of the day, you’ll just have to go with your gut on how you feel safest travelling in these situations.

You say you're not clear about the advantages of a Peg-Perego over a traditional booster. I was thinking weight (at 6.7 kg it's not a feather but ordinary boosters can be heavier) and bulk, because it folds kind of flat and is easier to carry around. We have taken a few flights with an ordinary car seat in a huge shoulder bag - not fun, with the car seat that you can't place on top of the suitcase trolley, and which keeps swinging from your shoulder. Is the Urban Kanga car seat worth the investment? Well, if the family doesn’t own a car and short taxi or Grab rides are the norm, then this seat might just be a perfect match.Taxis: Taxis are classified as public transport and therefore the same car seat rules don’t apply. Like in Australia, Ubers are classified as private vehicles and therefore require the appropriate child restraint, according to state law. This forward facing portable child restraint falls under the Group 1 Universal category, and is classified as a safety device in the case of an accident. As with all child restraints, correct installation and secure fastening of the child is a must.
