According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, the carriage of children under 12 years old in a car is allowed only in special seats. Modern children's stores offer a wide range of car seats in different price categories. One of the optimal price - quality parameters are the models from the Chinese manufacturer Leader Kids.
Features:
Leader Kids car seats have many advantages. First of all, it should be noted the democratic prices of the brand, which make the products affordable. The seats are reliable and provide the best child safety. The models have several backrest heights, durable three- or five-point seat belts, adjustable in length, and a reinforced lock that can only be opened by adults. All products are tested and have the latest European safety certificate ECE R44 / 04.
The seats can be fixed both in the direction and against the direction of the vehicle.
The one-piece base is made of impact-resistant material. The body itself has a wavy shape that provides lateral protection, an anatomical backrest supports the child's backrest, and an additional head cushion contributes to even more comfort. Leader Kids provides car seats with two types of installation:
- Isofix, the essence of which is to fix the seat with brackets to metal hinges built into the car body.
- Fastening with a standard car belt. This method is more common as it is suitable for installation in any machine.
The chairs are made of hypoallergenic, soft but dense material. A wide range of colors will allow every parent to find a chair to their liking. The microfiber cover is removable and machine washable. Each seat has an instruction sticker on the shell of each seat that explains how to install the model in the vehicle. The company produces child safety seats for every age group and weight category.
Among the disadvantages of the brand, one should note the large weight of some products, as well as the long and difficult process of putting the removable cover back on the structure, since the slots are too narrow, and the belts, on the contrary, are wide.

The possibility of choosing the type of fastening is also pleasing: Isofix or car belts. Among the advantages are a wide color palette of car seats, natural ventilation inside the seats and affordable prices.
However, there are also a couple of downsides. For example, in some models, children still sweat despite the microfiber upholstery. Other parents find it difficult to put on the removable cover after washing because the belt slots are too narrow.
