Extended Rear Facing Car Seats

Extended rear-facing car seats keep children travelling rear-facing beyond the standard 12–15 months — typically from birth or around 9 months right through to 3 or 4 years old. The safety case is compelling: rear-facing distributes crash forces across the full back, neck, and head rather than the harness alone, providing up to five times more protection in frontal collisions. Sweden has rear-faced children this way for decades — 83% of Swedish toddlers travel rear-facing, compared to just 22% in the UK. The gap is closing, and Saunders & Smalls exists to help UK families make that change with confidence, not confusion. This collection features our full range of extended rear-facing seats: Axkid Minikid 4, Axkid Movekid, BeSafe iZi Twist, Avionaut Sky 2.0, TinySeats Two, BeCool Foldy, and more. Many are Swedish Plus Test certified. Use the Car Seat Finder or speak to Charlene to find the best fit for your child and your car.
