The appearance is familiar and easily identified as a child restraint, the smooth surface and contoured shell creates an encapsulating protecting appearance. The one handed recline feature is intuitive and really simple to operate. The base is specifically shaped to fit the contouring of modern car seating while providing access to ISOFIX attachments .

  • The Summit ISO AP has been designed to provide superior protection in the event of an accident to the child in both forward and rearward facing configurations.The ease of installation on the Summit ISO AP, an integral part of the seat design, allows the seat to be installed correctly with the option of ISOFIX compatibility, fulfilling the intended use and protection. The sculpted base design allows ease of ISOFIX fitment in most vehicles. The antibacterial fabric has been tested and data shows that it inhibits the growth of bacteria by 99%.

  • The key function of the Summit ISO AP is to provide intuitive, correct installation to the car vehicle with a traditional vehicle belt or ISOFIX lower anchorages. Having the seat installed correctly allows maximum protection to the child seat occupant by protecting the child in a collision. The Summit ISO AP is tested and complies to the latest version of the Australian child safety standard AS/NZS 1754: 2013.

  • The Summit ISO AP has been designed for rearward and forward facing position for the age range starting from newborn to approximately 4 years old. The seat has been tested with a standard size 6 year old dummy at the highest G forces when compared to international standards. The Summit ISO AP utilises unique engineering that combines the best of both blow moulding and injection moulded quality materials to stand up to daily use requirements and has UV properties that can withstand UV degradation up to 10 years. The Summit ISO AP materials are long lasting, withstand expected wear in the tough interior environment of a car and all parts can be wiped clean.

The two main blow mouldings provide both the structure and the impact cushion to protect the occupant. Additional smaller injection moulded components provide the strength and detail required for smooth operation of important functions such as headrest and recline adjustment mechanisms. The subtle geometry of the of the recline arc essentially provides a built in stabiliser in the seat base for rearward facing installations making it simple to use and easy to install.
