Fire retardants are chemicals that are often sprayed onto car seats and baby products to make them fire resistant. But, these poisonous chemicals are known to cause hormone disruption, neurological damage and even cancer.
BPA [bisphenol A] is an industrial chemical found in plastic, epoxy resins, and even food and water containers. This chemical has been linked to adverse health effects in fetuses, newborns and children.
Formaldehyde is something you want to stay away from because it is a cancerous, strong-smelling, colorless gas commonly found in pressed-wood products.
Phthalates disrupt the body's hormones and some are known carcinogens. The chemicals from baby gear and wallpaper can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed.
PFAS-free baby products do not contain poly-fluorinated alkyl substances which are a group of around 4,700 industrial chemicals that can be found everywhere around us.
Fire retardants are chemicals that are often sprayed onto car seats and baby products to make them fire resistant. But, these poisonous chemicals are known to cause hormone disruption, neurological damage and even cancer.
VOCs (Volatile organic compounds) are chemicals from specific solids or liquids (like wax, paints and varnishes) that can be emitted as gas. It has been proven that this easily inhaled chemical may lead to cancer, liver, and kidney diseases.
Stay safe. Keep going.™
From baby to big kid, the KNOX Convertible Car Seat is packed with intuitive safety features and easily adapts as children grow and their positioning needs change. Sippy cup or water bottle, the KNOX includes a removable cup holder that can attach to either side of the seat. When spills happen, the seat base fabric can be removed for easy cleaning.
Safety you can see
Our unique technology, utilizing a tightness indicator and robust tensioning clips, provides visual confirmation of a correct install, not to mention peace of mind.
The ultimate damage control system
Koroyd® was developed from aerospace safety research, innovated for action sports, now built-in to the base of the KNOX car seat providing more advanced impact protection. Koroyd’s welded tubes crumple instantly and consistently on impact, absorbing maximum force in a controlled manner, minimizing energy transferred to the child.
Tether them better
The Multi-Directional Tether reduces seat rotation and stress on the child’s head and neck in the event of impact. When used in rear-facing mode, the Multi-Directional Tether reduces potential injury by 45%.* Our no-rethread harness, eight-position headrest, and four-position recline all adjust quickly and easily as your child grows. For optimal safety, you'll want to use the Multi-Directional Tether in both rear-facing and front-facing positions.
*2020 results from crash testing conducted at independent labs in U.S. and Canada.
Absorption and recovery properties of specialized foams in the Active Support Headrest provide advanced side impact protection that grows with your child. Positioned on the side of shell and always engaged, the Side Impact Pods absorb and deflect crash forces during a side impact crash. Strategic placement of EPP foam between the inner and outer shell ensures forces are absorbed into the seat rather than the child.
A fire retardant-free choice
Keep baby safe from day one with the original fire retardant-free fabric. These fabrics are not treated and contain no harmful chemicals anywhere on the seat. Includes fashions for the Mesa V2, Knox, and Alta.
Merino wool fabric is hypoallergenic, temperature regulated, and made of materials that are naturally fire retardant-free to keep baby safe in the purest form. The merino wool is woven naturally to eliminate the need for any additional treatment.
