Transport your little one with ease with egg pushchairs and car seats. This tried and tested brand serves both the functional and style-conscious parent. Travelling with a baby has never been so effortless or fashionable with egg products that are intuitively designed and come in an array of stunning colours.
Egg2 Stroller
The egg2 stroller, reinvented and reborn, comes with all egg bundles. The concept behind the egg buggy comes from non-other than the humble ‘egg’ itself- richly signifying birth, warmth, shelter and sustenance. The popular and luxurious black egg2 stroller has soft-touch marl tailoring, smooth curves, infinite lines and excellent design engineering, so you and your baby have a smooth ride and an exceptional experience. The superior egg2 provides maximum comfort for your precious passenger, and the ease of use has become one of the brand’s hallmarks.
When purchased as part of an egg2 9-piece bundle, these compatible and convertible pushchairs come with a carrycot, mattress, fitted sheets, deluxe blanket, footmuff, backpack, seat liner, car seat adapters and car seat, so you have everything you need for your first trip out with a newborn. Or, choose the egg2 8-piece grey bundle, which includes the egg2 car seat ISOFIX base, for fast and secure installation in the car.
Egg2 Shell i-Size Car Seat
Included in the bundle is the egg2 Shell i-Size car seat, which encompasses the same high safety standards, functionality and immense style synonymous with their strollers. The egg car seat provides optimum cushioning for your most precious passenger with an enhanced side-impact protective shell and a memory foam headrest. With the egg Shell i-size infant carrier, travelling on the road with your baby has never been easier with the 3-position handle and easy single-pull secure harness.
The egg i-Size car seats comply with the highest safety regulations and can be used rearward-facing from birth to around 15 months old (40-80cm). In addition, the egg Shell has removable, enhanced inner-body padding (for use from newborn), which provides key support for both the side and upper leg muscles on car journeys until your little one has grown enough not to need the extra cushioning. The egg infant carriers are designed to attach to egg2 pushchairs so you can transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the pram without disturbing them.
What does i-Size mean?
i-Size refers to the newest safety standard R129. This standard was introduced in 2012 to make travel for babies and children even safer. It follows more detailed testing than R44 for improved head and neck protection. Current child car seat laws mean using either regulation car seat is legal. It is still safe to use an R44 car seat, but it is likely that this standard will be phased out over time for the R129.
Here is a breakdown of what R129 means:
- choose the seat depending on your child’s height, not weight, so you will find it easier to ensure your child is in the right seat. it has improved safety standards
- you have to use ISOFIX with these car seats to secure it to your vehicle
- your child stays rear-facing until at least 15 months old
In addition to this, all i-Size car seats are compatible with ISOFIX, which includes attaching your car seat to an ISOFIX base, which is connected to the car through ISOFIX connectors. This reduces the chance of installing the car seat incorrectly in the vehicle and makes getting your car seat in and out of the car far quicker and easier as the car seat simply clicks on top of the base.
Compatible car seats for the egg stroller
The egg infant carriers are designed to attach to egg2 strollers so you can transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the pram without disturbing them. When you’re transitioning the seat from vehicle to stroller, you’ll need to use egg multi car seat adapters.
If you want to use a different car seat with your egg2 stroller, this is possible with the multi-car seat adapters, as they’re compatible with other brands of car seats, like Maxi Cosi Cybex and BeSafe. However, the answer to the question, what is the best car seat for my egg stroller? We suggest using the egg2 Shell i-Size car seat to keep the system to all one brand for a sleek and elegant look and familiar features.
How to attach an egg car seat to an egg stroller
To attach your egg2 car seat or any other compatible car seat to your egg stroller, you’ll need to follow these simple steps:
- First, remove the carrycot or seat unit by unclipping them from the chassis on either side at the same time and lifting them upwards
- Next, attach the car seat adapters to the same place where your carrycot or seat unit was attached to the chassis. Make sure you put the left adapter in the left slot and the right adapter in the right slot
- Lift your car seat using the carry handle and line it up with the adapters and slip it into place
- In order to lock your egg car seat so it stays secure to the pram, push the handle as far back as it will until you hear a click.
