Reviews and experiences
Write a reviewWij gebruiken de Besafe Izi turn b i-size nu 6 maanden en zijn nog steeds super tevreden; We kozen deze babystoel omdat hij meegroeit met onze dochter en we hem dus lang zullen kunnen gebruiken. Ook dat hij lang tegen de richting in te gebruiken is en heel gebruiksvriendelijk (door hem te kunnen draaien als je je kindje erin zet) zijn allemaal pluspunten; We hebben ondertussen ook een paar andere autostoelen van vrienden kunnen uittesten als we ergens naartoe gingen en zijn dan steeds blij dat we onze eigen autostoel terug kunnen gebruiken. Wij gebruiken hem met nog veel plezier verder de volgende jaren en raden hem zeker aan als je op zoek bent naar een duurzame, veilige en praktische autostoel!
Ik hoorde van mama's rondom mij dat een 'vaste' autostoel voor een baby'tje geen goed idee is, omdat het hoofdje niet goed blijft zitten en het kindje zou kunnen 'knikkebollen', maar ons Otje zit helemaal veilig in haar Baby Shell met newborn hugger. Ze ligt echt comfortabel en haar hoofdje blijft steeds mooi liggen. Ze wordt goed omringd door de zijdelingse beschermingskussens. Ze is echt veilig 'ingepakt'.
Als ik haar zie zitten heb ik echt een goed gevoel. De stoel lijkt me veel ergonomischer voor haar ruggetje dan de draagbare autostoel die ik van een vriendin leende.
Dat vind ik echt belangrijk omdat we regelmatig bij mijn ouders op bezoek gaan, die wat verder wonen.
Ik heb voor de Peak Mesh stof gekozen omdat die het fijnst zou zijn voor in de zomer. Dat heb ik nog niet kunnen testen natuurlijk, maar je merkt aan de stof dat er echt een luchtlaag zit en ik kan me voorstellen dat je daarin veel minder zweet en gloeit dan in een zitje met reguliere bekleding. (En ik vind het écht een mooie en frisse kleur.)
Weet je wat nog een enorm gemak is? Dat die stoel gewoon draaibaar is om haar er in te zetten. Halleluja! Vroeger was ik babysit en ik kan je vertellen dat het zweet me vaak in de nek stond om kleuters in hun stoel te hijsen en dan te puzzelen met de gordels. Super handig, het is echt een vlot en gebruiksvriendelijk systeem. Klik en draai! Simple as that! En de gordel komt er ook mega vlot uit om hem te verstellen en aan te trekken.
Wat ik wel aanraad is om een spiegeltje te kopen, om je kindje zijn/haar gezicht te zien in de achteruitkijkspiegel, daar de stoel tegen de rijrichting is bevestigd.
Ook zonneschermen zijn een must, de zon kan al eens goed in de ogen schijnen en mijn newborn weet natuurlijk nog niet dat je dat kan oplossen door de andere kant op te kijken ;-)
Dat zijn dus nog twee aankopen die ik ga doen.
Samenvatting: grote aanrader, super tevreden!
wee maanden geleden ben ik voor het eerst mama geworden. Heerlijk om eindelijk dat mini-mensje in je handen te houden. In het ziekenhuis was ik vrij gerust, en had ik heel veel zin om naar huis te gaan. Maar dan sta je daar voor de auto met de draagbare autostoel, die eerste rit naar huis, en ik werd overvallen door paniek. 'Wat als we een ongeluk krijgen? Is dit wel veilig?'
Na wat opzoekwerk ontdekte ik BeSafe, een oerdegelijk merk dat zich al jaren inzet om de veiligste autostoelen te ontwikkelen. Ik heb mezelf goed ingelezen en was echt overtuigd. Dìt is iets voor ons, voor ons babytje, maar ook voor mij om met een meer gerust gevoel de baan op te kunnen.
Eenmaal de stoel hier thuis gearriveerd was, was ik echt wel in de wolken. Dat ding is loodzwaar, maar je merkt echt aan alles dat het topkwaliteit is.
We hebben voor de Izi turn B- I size gekozen omdat deze kan meegroeien van kersversbaby tot een heuse kapoen van vier jaar. Dat sprak mij aan omdat ik het een duurzame keuze vind, geen verschillende stoelen moet aankopen, maar gewoon dit exemplaar. Daarnaast vind ik het ook lastig om in ons kleine huisje verschillende maten autostoelen op te moeten bergen, voor moest er nog een tweede kindje volgen.
Als er een tweede kindje volgt, kan hij/zij in deze stoel en dan kopen we eventueel nog als het nodig is een stoel bij die meegroeit vanaf de leeftijd van ons eerste kind.
FAQ
iZi Turn was launched later than iZi Twist. And since the main focus with the introduction of rotation seats was on Twist, it can also be that iZi Turn will not come to the test later.
But when used rear facing, which is our recommendation anyhow, iZi Turn is identical to iZi Twist and therefore on the same safety level.
No, the seat must always be pushed fully against the vehicle seat until the front brace is touching it. If one would leave the ISOfix arms further extended, the seat could not be installed tightly and would have too much side movement.
Unlike many other 'inserts' that allow using a toddler seat from birth, the BeSafe Baby Shell™ is not just a set of cushions that is placed inside the big seat shell, but is a whole unit with an outer wall by itself. This way, it truly resembles the position and protection of a baby car seat that is placed inside the seat shell. The side walls of the Baby Shell™ are adding an extra layer of side impact protection and are also featuring the innovative Dynamic Force Absorber™ construction just like the seat's headrest.
The Universal Level Technology™ has a special seat-and-base design that is constructed to always have the child seat on a horizontal level, no matter how steep the vehicle seat is. This allows for an optimal sitting angle for the child in almost any car.The Universal Level Technology™ has a special seat-and-base design that is constructed to always have the child seat on a horizontal level, no matter how steep the vehicle seat is.

To ensure that the baby insert [Baby Shell™] will stay in place and not become a loose object in an accident when no child is sitting in the seat, we have put great development efforts into constructing the harness guiding through the baby insert [Baby Shell™] in a way that it stays in place even if the harness is open and the seat is rotated to the side. We have confirmed this by crash-testing the seat rotated to the side and the harness being open when no child is sitting in it.
No, the baby insert [Baby Shell™] is only allowed to be used if the specific seat is approved together with it. iZi Twist and iZi Turn are approved from 61 cm on only, so it must not be used before and thus is only to be used with the included Two-Fit™ cushions.
The recommendation is to use the baby insert [Baby Shell™] in the most reclined position of the seat but it’s fine to use it more upright, when this works better for the baby.
We would recommend not to remove the baby insert [Baby Shell™] before the child is at least 61 cm tall and can sit by himself/herself, and would in general advise to use the baby insert [Baby Shell™] as long as possible (max. stature height 87 cm).
If you want to remove the baby insert [Baby Shell™] earlier than 87 cm, please first try out if your child already sits well in the seat without the baby insert [Baby Shell™]- especially check the side stability, fit of the shoulder- and hip belts and the headrest position on top of the shoulders.
The baby insert [Baby Shell™] can be used until a maximum stature height of 87 cm. You can also remove the baby insert [Baby Shell™] a bit earlier but we would recommend using it all the way to 87 cm when it still fits the baby.
If you are having the baby insert [Baby Shell™] in the seat but no child is sitting in the seat, we recommend to close the internal harness nonetheless before driving, it is not mandatory though.
The UN regulation 129 does not require a child seat to rest on the vehicle seat cushion. Instead, the regulation specifies that the installation of the ISOfix anchorages has to be combined with either a support leg or a top tether to prevent frontal displacement of the seat in a frontal accident. This seat is equipped with a support leg for distributing the forces to the vehicle floor and preventing frontal displacement.
Due to being constructed for the worst-case scenarios of the most sloping vehicle seat angles, a gap beneath the base becomes visible in vehicles that have flatter seat angles. This gap might be unfamiliar and could give the assumption that the construction is less stable, as other child seats are typically resting on the vehicle seat cushion. However, this gap beneath the base is not a safety concern.
A vehicle seat cushion is not solid but made of soft materials. In a frontal impact - which is the most common source of serious injury for children - the vehicle seat cushion would compress anyway if pressure was on it, thus giving no stability or support to a child seat. Hence, even for child seats that are resting on the vehicle seat, forces are distributed through the support leg to the vehicle floor and/or through the ISOfix anchorages to the car body, and rotation is prevented through a support leg or top tether.
The leg space of this seat is not adjustable but still quite large, especially when you put the seat more upright as the child grows older.
Place one foot onto the bottom end of the floor support while lifting the base to make adjusting the length at this step easier.
No, if a child is sitting in the seat, then the seat must always be in the locked rear facing or forward facing driving position. Never drive with a child in the seat if the seat is rotated to the side. Please note that the earliest the forward facing driving position may be used is when the child is taller than 88 cm and older than 15 months. BeSafe strongly recommends you though to keep your child rear facing throughout the whole time that you are using the seat.
Yes, this seat can be used forward facing on turned vehicle seats if it can be installed correctly according to its user manual. However, please check your vehicle user manual to see if child car seats in general are permitted to be used on the turned vehicle seats.
Only the BeSafe iZi Turn B i-Size and BeSafe iZi Go Modular X1 i-Size feature the same Newborn Hugger™ and have been tested and approved with it. For all other seats it is not allowed to use the Newborn Hugger™ in them.
Yes, the baby cushion [Newborn Hugger™] can be washed in one piece.
The guiding principle is after 60 cm or older than 4 months but can also be used a bit longer or removed a bit earlier, depending on the individual growth development of the baby.
No, it is not allowed to add something to the sides of the child, as the seat is not tested and approved this way. The seat has been tested thoroughly with various dummy sizes representing babies' measurements and has passed all tests successfully, so that adding more to the side is not needed for safety.
All three materials help in protecting a child in a side impact, yet their level of protection and way of working differ. Imagine falling from a great height. If you get to land on a trampoline that is perfectly adjusted to give you a gentle and controlled landing, this equals the Dynamic Force Absorber™.
If you land on a mattress, this equals soft foam. It also helps gently decelerating the fall but the deceleration is not as controlled as it can be on a adjusted trampoline.
If you land on a stack of cardboard boxes, this equals EPS. They deform a little bit, yet do not bend as much as the other materials do to break the fall and stay deformed after the impact. This way, cardboard boxes also have a shorter “distance of travel” during the deformation, which leads to a comparatively more abrupt halt.
This seat has already passed the demanding crash test criteria of the UN R129 regulation without the SIP+, so that the SIP+ is not required to be used. If it is possible to fit it in-between the seat and vehicle door, we however recommend you to use it for even better side impact protection.
If there is not enough space in your vehicle to fit the SIP+ in-between the seat and the vehicle door, you do not need to use the SIP+. As the main function of the SIP+ is to reduce the distance between the seat and the vehicle door, you have no safety disadvantage by not being able to fit the SIP+, as you already have a reduced distance in your situation.
Children are significantly more pliable than adults, so just because something might look uncomfortable to us adults it does not have to be uncomfortable for children.
In fact, many children find it more comfortable in rear facing seats, as they can rest their legs against the back of the vehicle seat. When sitting forward facing, the child's legs would be dangling down, resulting in strain on the joints and bones.
It is five times safer to sit in a rear facing position than in a forward facing position and we recommend that your child sits in the absolute safest position – in a rear facing child car seat – as long as possible.
No, the SIP+ module is only usefull, when used between a vehcile door and the seat.
By being a separate part, you can easily move the SIP+ from side to side, so that you can use it no matter where you position the child seat in the car.
SIP+ reduces the distance between the seat and the door of the vehicle. In this way the seat and the door will meet each other earlier in a side impact, resulting in less acceleration and absorption of the energy over a longer distance and earlier during the impact. SIP+ can lead to a reduction of 20% of the head acceleration values.
When a rear facing child car seat is in touch with the car interior, it will be supported by the car interior during an impact, which gives an optimal crash performance. When this is not feasible, it's best to create significant distance between the interior and the child car seat to avoid an impact with the car interior when the child car seat will move during the crash. However, please note that these are recommendations for the ideal positions. If these cannot be achieved in your car, it is also fine to install it with getting as close to the ideal positions as possible.When a rear facing child car seat is in touch with the car interior, it will be supported by the car interior during an impact, which gives an optimal crash performance.
