FAQs

What is i-Size?

i-Size (ECE R129) is a European car seat safety regulation. It focuses on enhanced side-impact protection and requires children to travel rear-facing for longer.

How do I know if my car has ISOFIX?

ISOFIX anchor points are located in the crease between the vehicle's seat back and seat cushion. Look for ISOFIX labels or consult your car's manual.

Can I use this car seat without the ISOFIX base?

Yes, the Stratus car seat can be installed using the car's seat belts, but the ISOFIX base is recommended for ease of use and security.

How do I clean the car seat fabric?

Remove the fabric cover and machine wash it according to the care label instructions. Wipe the plastic parts with a damp cloth.

What is the weight limit for the car seat?

The Ickle Bubba Stratus car seat is suitable for children from 40-87cm (birth to approximately 15 months), typically up to 13kg.

What should I do if my car seat is involved in a crash?

Even if there are no visible signs of damage, replace the car seat after any accident. Contact the manufacturer for guidance.

Where can I find the car seat's serial number?

The serial number is usually located on a sticker on the car seat's shell.

Troubleshooting

Car seat won't click into the ISOFIX base.

Ensure the ISOFIX connectors are fully engaged with the car's anchor points. Check for any obstructions.

Double-check that the car seat is properly clicked into the base. Make sure the base is securely attached to the car's ISOFIX points or that the seat belt is correctly routed and tightened.
