Recaro Zero. 1 Elite Car Seat

The Recaro Zero. 1 Elite is a very cleverly designed i-Size ERF (Group 0+ / 1) seat which has a ingenious integrated removable infant carrier giving you the best of both worlds – a lightweight (just 2.9kg) infant carrier for ease of use whilst you have a small baby (up to 76cm), whilst having the ERF functionality up to 105cm with a maximum weight of 18kg (approx age 4 and a half), or forward facing if preferred from the age of 15 months.

The integrated infant carrier has a 3 point harness, however, the main toddler seat has a 5 point harness.

The ISOFIX base is integrated, so once installed the seat does not need to be removed. The Zero. 1 Elite seat does have a 360 degree swivel function which assists with easy fitting of the child into the seat – very handy! There are also three recline positions and an adjustable headrest for comfortable napping.

The removable infant carrier has been certified as being compatible with the following pushchairs: RECARO Citylife, RECARO Easylife, Bugaboo Buffalo, Bugaboo Cameleon3, Bugaboo Donkey, Cybex Priam, Egg, GB Qbit, iCandy Apple 2 Pear, iCandy Peach, Joolz Day, Joolz Geo, Silver Cross Wayfarer, Stokke Xplory, Uppababy Vista, Uppababy Cruz, Mothercare Orb.
