PRO Gallery: BeSafe Stretch up close
Rear-facing travel up to 7 years
A car seat with an innovative design that offers outstanding safety and comfort for children up to around 7 years. With BeSafe Stretch, your child can travel rear-facing from 6 months to approximately 7 years (125 cm and 36 kg).
Unbeatable legroom
With Stretch, it is easy to adjust legroom using the front bar. It offers up to 26 cm of adjustment as your child grows. Plenty of space and comfort, even for 7-year-olds.
Easy and flexible installation
The seat can be installed easily using the car's own seat belt in just a few steps, without depending on where the ISOFIX anchorage points are located. This means Stretch can also be installed on the front passenger seat. The lower tether straps attached to the vehicle floor anchorage retract automatically, making correct installation easier. The simple locking and tensioning mechanism helps anyone achieve a secure installation.
Unique structure for maximum safety
The car seat has a unique outer structure that absorbs impact energy in the event of a frontal collision. In addition, the backrest is extra rigid to keep your child stable in the event of an impact.
