Bub2tot seats are contoured beanbags that are specifically designed for newborns to toddlers/kids up to 30kgs, and are an alternative to plastic chairs or standard bean bags that are not suitable for a newborn. The seat consists of a base made from completely washable microsuede fabric, and 2 detachable and interchangeable top layers which allow you to convert the seat to suit your childs stage. The baby cover layer has a 3 point seat belt for newborns up to toddlers that just don’t sit still. When you think your little darling is ready to use this seat as a big person, simply swap the upper layer for the child cover. To meet New Zealand safety standards, safety zippers have been equipped to stop your curious little one from inspecting the insides of the bag. Bub2tot seats also come in a great range of colour combinations to choose from.
