BACK THEIR FUTURE. BUCKLE UP. 🩷
From 20–26 September, Maxi-Cosi proudly sponsors Child Passenger Safety Week under the campaign message: “Back Their Future. Buckle Up.”

Once again, we’re excited to partner with Kelston Motor Group on this important initiative. With Kelston’s strong connection to families through its dealerships, together we have an opportunity to create greater awareness around child passenger safety and reach more parents and caregivers with this vital message.

Throughout September, Kelston dealerships will share important child passenger safety information with customers and their communities.

To further support the campaign, every customer who purchases a vehicle from a Kelston Group dealership during September will be entered into a draw to win a Maxi-Cosi car seat valued at R10 000.

Because every stage matters.
Every journey matters.
And every buckle helps back their future. 🩷

BACK THEIR FUTURE. BUCKLE UP. 🩷
WHAT IS I-SIZE?
Car seat rules can be confusing, so Europe introduced i-Size (UN R129) to make things simpler and safer for parents. Instead of relying on age or weight, i-Size uses your child’s height to help you choose the right seat, something every parent can measure easily.

WHY I-SIZE MATTERS
🩷 Rearward-facing travel is required until at least 15 months.
🩷 Height-based fit means less guesswork and a safer match for your child.
🩷 Stricter safety tests, including better side-impact protection.

With i-Size, you know your car seat has been designed and tested to meet the latest safety standards.

BACK THEIR FUTURE. BUCKLE UP. 🩷

Every time a parent buckles their child into a Maxi-Cosi car seat, they’re not just protecting them for today - they’re helping to back their future. It’s a simple act of love, care and responsibility that can make a lasting difference.

From 20 – 26 September, Maxi-Cosi proudly sponsors Child Passenger Safety Week: “Back Their Future. Buckle Up.” This year, we’re focusing on the important milestones in your child’s car seat journey - from keeping little ones rearward-facing for longer to knowing when they’re ready for a booster seat.

Every journey matters — whether it’s a quick trip to school, a visit to the shops, or a family road trip.

This September, we’re proud to support Child Passenger Safety Week, 20–26 September 2026, and remind parents and caregivers that the right car seat, the right fit and correct installation can make all the difference.

Take a moment to check:
• Is your child in the right car seat for their age, height and weight?
• Is the seat correctly installed?
• Are the harness straps fitted snugly and correctly?
• Is everyone buckled up on every journey?

Let’s buckle up, check twice and make every journey a safer one.

Child Passenger Safety: Keep an eye on your little passenger.

When your baby is travelling rear-facing, a back seat car mirror can help you keep a clear view of them without turning around while driving.

A good-quality, crash-tested mirror should offer the following:
✔️ Wide-angle view
✔️ Adjustable positioning for the perfect angle
✔️ Secure attachment to the headrest
✔️ Quick and easy installation

Because knowing you can see your little one can make every journey feel a little easier.
A small accessory that can make a big difference on the road.

The best car seat is one that fits your child, fits your car(s) and is easy to install and to use. Here are some useful tips and recommendations to help you decide.

🚗 Child Passenger Safety: i-Size (UN R129) in Short 🚗

🚗i-Size is the latest European car seat safety standard designed to better protect children during travel.

🚗It requires rearward-facing travel up to at least 15 months for added head and neck safety and uses a child’s height (rather than weight or age) to ensure a more accurate and secure fit as they grow.

🚗Car seats are designed for specific height ranges, making it easier for parents to choose the right seat and transition safely through each stage. Compared to older standards, i-Size offers improved overall safety performance.

💛 Safer, simpler, and more precise protection for every journey.
