The infant carrier is designed to carry newborn babies weighing from 0 to 13 kg. At this age, the baby's spine is still very fragile, not fully formed. For such babies, a car seat with a special orthopedic shape was created, which protects the baby's back from unnecessary stress. Also, this device is equipped with seat belts for a secure fit. Manufacturers recommend using the infant carrier for up to a year and a half. In practice, it is necessary for the first six months, while the baby is not yet sitting.
There are many models with different features and accessories. There are options with awnings from the sun, with reinforced side protection, with a swing handle, with a change in the angle of inclination and other useful options. Also, car seats differ in the type of fixation. There are two options: 3-point and 5-point fasteners. Models of the first type are somewhat cheaper, but the second option is more reliable.
About the brand
Bebeton is part of the Chinese corporation Kimura International Limited. The name Babyton can also be found on the Internet. This is an earlier brand name. The company is engaged in the production of children's goods.
Under this brand, car seats for children of all ages, strollers, etc. are produced. This trademark was created by order of the Detsky Mir company (it is the main customer of the Bebeton brand).
Therefore, real infant carriers and other products of this brand can be purchased only in Detsky Mir stores.
All Bebeton products are manufactured in factories equipped with modern production facilities. Children's transportation devices sold in Russia undergo a mandatory certification procedure. Since 2015, all car seats that are on sale in our country must comply with the rules of the Technical Regulations of the European Customs Union ECE R44 / 04. The same rules apply to Bebeton products.
However, the problem is that even the presence of this certificate does not guarantee the quality of the purchased product. Many product samples that find their way to the shelves of domestic stores and have the specified document do not actually meet the requirements of the Russian technical regulations. In particular, there are discrepancies in the accompanying documents, as well as in the component parts. Therefore, Detsky Mir conducts its own quality control of products, including Bebeton products.
The brand's infant carriers belong to the middle price range. Largely due to this circumstance, they are in demand among buyers. Without exception, all products have detailed instructions in Russian.
Features and Benefits
The choice of a car seat largely depends on the requirements that parents place on them. Some are guided by the recommendations of friends, the second is based on the price, the third is the company, the fourth is studying crash tests.
The Bebeton infant car seat has a stylish and modern design to suit any car brand. The base is made of durable plastic and has enhanced protection against possible damage.
Almost all models are mounted perpendicular to the direction of travel. This method is considered the safest method for transporting babies.
The carrycot can be secured in the vehicle using the seat belts provided. With this fixation, the child is positioned sideways in relation to the road. His body is obtained by a strap attached to the infant car seat across the chest.
All cradles have handles so that it is convenient to carry the baby without taking him out of the seat. Soft covers are made of hypoallergenic breathable fabrics that do not irritate baby's delicate skin. The covers can be removed and washed if necessary. The infant carrier can be used both as a chair and as a rocking device.
The lineup
The range of the company includes 5 models of children's transporting devices for babies.
Bebeton Cocoon Travel
The model is offered in several colors: gray, brown, black and turquoise. The carrycot is secured with five-point seat belts. The back of the car cot can be adjusted to suit the child's height. To increase the level of safety, this model has soft side pads. The carrycot has ventilated holes for air circulation and a removable hood protects from excessive sun.
Bebeton Betti
This model is presented in soothing pink and beige colors. There is a three-point locking system. The carrying handle can have 5 different positions. The backrest angle is most suitable for babies. Anatomical pillow gently fixes the baby's head in a comfortable position. For the greatest comfort, there are soft pads on the internal seat belts, and inside the carrycot itself there are special inserts that can be removed as the baby grows up.
Bebeton FB-806-Beige
This version is available in red, blue and sand colors. A feature of this model is the developed side protection due to inserts, a soft seat and a headrest. The carrycot handle can take 4 different positions, and the carrycot itself is fixed to the car seat using 3-point belts.
Bebeton Zero Lux
The manufacturer offers red, blue and beige colors for this model. Like the previous variants, it can be used as a car seat, carrier and cradle with motion sickness function. The product is equipped with a belt buckle with a softening valve and a safety function that prevents incorrect closing.
Bebeton Zero Lux Art
This model is available in stores in blue and purple. Internal harness has a three-point design and is adjustable according to the size of the baby. This car seat differs from the previous model by the presence of an anatomical cushion.
Disadvantages
Classic carrycots are fixed in the car along the seat. Moreover, if the cradle is installed in the rear seat, it takes up most of it. At best, only one passenger can fit next to the product, and even then with difficulty. Many parents see this as a significant drawback and for this reason skip the car seat option, in principle, buying a car seat right away.
As for the presented brand, its products have been sold in Russia since 2013. Most buyers are satisfied with the company's products, although there are rare complaints. Despite the detailed instructions, some buyers note that it is quite difficult to install the cradle in the car and therefore, after fixing the product once, it is better not to touch it after that. Some are alarmed by the Chinese origin of the brand due to distrust of this country. Practice shows that all such products, regardless of the manufacturer, are similar to each other, so there is no reason to doubt this product.
