The post Travel Safe with Platinum SICT appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>With the festive season well and truly upon us many families have to travel to get to their Christmas or holiday destinations. With extra traffic on the roads also comes an increased risk of accidents and when you have children in the car you want to make sure they are in the safest possible car seat. You may have seen the new Safe-n-Sound Platinum SICT convertible car seat in stores and online; they are suitable for newborn – 4 years and are Britax Safe-n-Sounds safest seat yet. I have been reviewing this specific car seat for the past few weeks with my almost 6 month old daughter and when it’s said how great this seat is they are not exaggerating!
There are so many things to tell you about this car seat that I don’t even know where to begin! So I’ll start at my favourite features and then move to the safety side of things. The car seat is padded enough that it is soft and comfortable for babies/kids to sit in for long periods of time and remain extremely supportive on their little backs. I love the thick fabric behind the buckle (also known as the EZ-Buckle System) because Hadley is at the ‘big chubby thighs’ stage and this prevents any digging in of the buckle and straps or accidental clipping of the leg and it also retains the buckle in a forward position for easy access.
The fabric used in this car seat is also breathable unlike a lot of others on the market. While it is wonderfully padded and soft they have managed to do so while using a material that breathes which is great especially now that we have hit summer. Hadley hasn’t come out of the seat sweaty or hot once which is the complete opposite to what happens when she gets out of her other car seat in Mr Dads car.
The Platinum SICT has deep side wings that provide side impact protection and when it’s accompanied by SICT (side impact cushion technology) and AHR (active head restraint) which provides head protection and grows with your child you will not have to be concerned if this provides enough impact safety for your child. The SICT is positioned in Torso and Headrest region to minimise the energy generated in a side impact crash.
There are two other little features that they have been added to make parents lives just that little bit easier. One being they have included harness holders to help keep the harness out of the way while placing your child in the seat and the other is the easy adjust which automatically re-positions the shoulder straps. They have truly thought of everything!
The Platinum SICT comes in 3 colours (silver is my favourite), has 4 reclines options for forward facing use and shoulder pads for extra comfort. While it is a little dearer than many other car seats on the market it is worthy of the price tag that comes along with it. The peace of mind knowing my child is safe is worth it. The RRP is $659.

I have been fortunate enough to be sent a new and innovative product on the market that combines the new technology of Air Protect with practicality and style. Maxi-Cosi protects your childs head from side impact reducing crash forces that may occur through the precise release of air. It is officially one of the worlds safest car seats as it has surpassed the worlds toughest safety tests and not only that but the Air Protect well and truly exceeds Australian testing (which is one of the strictest in the world). I received the Maxi-Cosi Hera to review which is perfect for newborn-4years. It is brilliant as it is suitable for all ages until they require a booster seat. It is soft and padded enough that the baby can enjoy long drives but still firm enough that it supports them. It has so many benefits that I cannot list them all but my favourites are the 6 point harness and tether strap, the machine washable covers (this is a must for me!), 3 adjustable base positions and of the course the new Air Protect technology. This seat will be perfect for the new addition to our family when it arrives; our 3 year old has given it a good go and has had only one thing to say about it – “It’s so soft!”. When he falls asleep in the car the air pockets are great as well because they act like a built in pillow – no more stiff necks!
Did I mention I have 1x Air Protect car seat of choice from the website (valued at $200-$500) to giveaway to one lucky reader? Well I do!
