Not sure which seat will be the best choice? We’re here to help!
According to traffic regulations, every child under 150 cm in height must travel in a properly fitted car seat with European safety certification.

Car seats for older children – available models

Car seats for older children fall into weight categories II and III, which means they are designed for children weighing between 15–36 kg. These models are suitable even up to 12 years of age! If you’re choosing a seat that will last for years, make sure that:
• It is made of durable, high-quality materials
• It meets European safety standards, such as ECE R44-04 or R129
To meet the needs of our customers, we’ve put together a selection of the best car seat models for older children.

Sparco Kids SK600i – a great long-term choice

The SK600i model we offer is a rotating car seat that can be used from birth up to 12 years of age. It can be installed both rear-facing (especially important for infants!) and forward-facing. At any time, you can easily change its position — with four adjustable recline settings to choose from.
Equipped with the ISOFIX system, 5-point safety harness, steel frame, and dual side impact protection, the SK600i ensures safe and comfortable travel for children of all ages.

Sparco Kids SK700 – the perfect second car seat for your child

Is your child outgrowing their first car seat designed for up to 18 kg? Or maybe they’ve become too tall to fit comfortably in their current seat? A great solution is the Sparco Kids SK700, designed for children from 9 to 36 kg.
This car seat features a 5-point harness, which ensures proper strap positioning on the child’s body and provides reliable protection in the event of an accident. It also includes reinforced side wings for excellent shock absorption during a side impact, and a smoothly adjustable headrest that allows the seat to grow with your child for a perfect fit at every stage.

Sparco Kids F1000Ki G23 – safe forward-facing travel

This seat is designed for children over 4 years of age and can be used until your child turns 12. The Sparco Kids F1000Ki G23 is a forward-facing model. After securing the ISOFIX connectors, simply fasten your child using the vehicle’s seat belt. The ergonomically shaped seat and built-in belt guide ensure that the harness is positioned correctly across the child’s body.
