The Recaro Salia Elite iSize infant carrier AND car seat. Suitable from birth up to 4 years (105cm, 18kg), it’s the first 2-in-1 reboarder in the world. What does that mean to the layman? It means you get a detachable, travel-system compatible infant carrier AND a rotating toddler/kid car seat all in 1. So don’t let the high price-point put you off, this bit of kit is excellent value for money.

The best bits...

Safety should always come first – the Recaro Salia Elite is iSize tested and approved, complying with the latest EU safety standards when used with its ISOFIX base. You can use it rearward facing up to 4 years - this is recommended by us here at the BabyDoc Club. An integrated control feature ensures the forward-facing position cannot be used before the child is at least 16 months old and 76 cm tall.

The headrest (which grows with your child) features a memory-foam padding. The Recaro Salia Elite also boasts triple side-impact protection thanks to integrated fold-out side wings. And there’s a handy 4-stage indicator to let you know seat and base are correctly installed.

Functionality and longevity are where the Salia Elite really justifies its price-point. You get

A lightweight infant carrier
An ISOFIX Base
With 360 degree rotation to help protect your back
And a car seat suitable up to 4 years

All in 1 single, modular package. We cannot emphasise just how cool this is.

The Recaro Salia Elite iSize is perfect for Irish parents looking for a super-safe option that combines the travel system compatibility of an infant carrier

Safety Features - what you need to know:

Complies i-Size safety standards (highest EU safety standards), delivering reduced car seat movement for total peace of mind.
Extended rearward facing (ERF) up from 0 to 105cm (roughly 4 years)
Integrated safety feature prevents misuse of the forward-facing position of the car seat. It ensures the forward-facing position is not used before the child is at least 16 months old and 76 cm tall.
Advanced Side Protection - Integrated protectors can be quickly and simply folded out on the door side. In the event of a side collision, the energy absorbers reduce the force that would act upon the child. The combination of infant carrier, seat structure and retractable protectors offer threefold protection from side collisions.
Safe-Installation Indicators - The clear visual indicators show you that everything is in order. Literally everything. Such as if the ISOFIX connectors or the support leg are installed correctly or if the child seat is positioned as it should be, whether forward or rear-facing. And when everything is green, you're ready to go.

The key features:

A clever 360° rotation system makes life easier and less back-breaking for parents.
2-in-1 infant carrier and fixed-point car seat – this is super clever. The infant carrier is travel system compatible, the lightness and portability is a huge positive and definite selling point for this product.
Recline function helps your baby/ toddler dose off on journeys.
Soft yet durable fabrics.
Simple to install. 4 green indicators on the supporting leg show when you’ve fitted the ISOFIX connectors correctly and the seat is safely locked.
A 5-point harness securely straps your child into place. Adjusting the harness to the correct size of your child is easy by pressing a button on the front of the car seat and loosening the shoulder belts. And it’s great that the headrest automatically adjusts the harness height so you know your baby is supported and in the correct position.
