Description

Designed to accommodate users up to 125 cm in height and 36 kg in weight, the Hero-XL allows children with disabilities and additional positioning needs to remain rear-facing for longer. Its supportive design combines an integrated 5-point harness, dynamic head support, adjustable lateral trunk supports and customisable seat depth to provide a secure and comfortable seating environment.

With a wide range of positioning accessories and adjustments available, the Hero-XL can be tailored to suit the individual needs of the child while providing room for growth.

Key Features

Extended rear-facing design

Rear-facing positioning can help manage the forces associated with braking and deceleration and may be particularly beneficial for children with limited head and trunk control.

The Hero-XL accommodates users up to approximately 125 cm tall and 36 kg.

Integrated 5-point harness

An integrated 5-point harness with quick release helps maintain the child’s position within the car seat.

The harness provides additional support around the pelvis and trunk and forms part of the Hero-XL’s comprehensive positioning system.

Dynamic head support

The Hero-XL incorporates an adjustable head support designed to provide additional support around the child’s head.

Head support height can be adjusted as the child grows, helping maintain an appropriate fit throughout the usable life of the seat.

Adjustable lateral trunk supports

The lateral trunk supports can be adjusted according to the child’s individual positioning requirements.

Adjustment is available for:

  • Width
  • Height
  • Angle

This allows the supports to be positioned around the trunk to encourage alignment and provide additional lateral stability.

Adjustable seat depth

The Hero-XL features adjustable seat depth to accommodate different upper-leg measurements and provide room for growth.

An extendable seat depth accessory is also available to further customise the seating dimensions as required.

Side impact protection

Integrated side impact protection provides additional protection around the user during vehicle travel.

Combined with the supportive headrest and harness system, this contributes to the Hero-XL’s comprehensive approach to safety and positioning.

Designed to grow

The Hero-XL has been developed to provide years of support, with adjustable components and extension accessories allowing the seat to accommodate the child as they grow.

Adjustable features include:

  • Head support height
  • Seat depth
  • Lateral trunk support position
  • Harness setup
  • Optional positioning accessories

No ISOFIX required

Unlike many specialised car seats, the Hero-XL does not require an ISOFIX connection.

The seat is secured using the vehicle’s seatbelt system together with installation straps connected to the vehicle’s lower tether points.

This may provide greater flexibility when assessing the Hero-XL for different vehicles.

Supportive padding

Thick, supportive padding helps create a comfortable seating environment for children who spend extended periods travelling in their car seat.

The padding works alongside the lateral supports, head support and harness to help maintain a supportive seated position.

Modular positioning accessories

A range of accessories is available to further tailor the Hero-XL to the individual child, including:

  • Extendable seat depth
  • Medial thigh support
  • Seat protector mat
  • Tether straps
  • Tray table
  • Combination abduction block and depth adaptor

These options allow additional positioning and functional support to be introduced according to the child’s needs.
