BeSafe Stretch 2 Car Seat

The BubsNest Verdict

The BeSafe Stretch is a premium, extended rear-facing car seat that impresses with its robust safety credentials and plush, adjustable comfort. Many parents feel the extended rear-facing capability up to age 7 makes the high price tag worthwhile. However, the large size and weight of the seat mean it may not suit smaller cars or frequent transfers between vehicles.

“Allows children to rear-face up to age 7 for ultimate safety”

7.8

Solid Choice

The BeSafe Stretch is a premium, extended rear-facing car seat that impresses with its robust safety credentials and plush, adjustable comfort. Many parents feel the extended rear-facing capability up to age 7 makes the high price tag worthwhile. However, the large size and weight of the seat mean it may not suit smaller cars or frequent transfers between vehicles.

What parents love

Extended rear-facingAllows children to remain rear-facing up to age 7 (36kg), far exceeding typical limits for enhanced safety.
Comfort and adjustabilityPraised for its soft fabrics, multiple recline positions and adjustable headrest to grow with the child.
Secure and stylishParents highlight the sturdy, premium construction and sleek, modern designs available.

Worth knowing

Bulky and heavyThe large size and weight of the seat make it difficult to move between vehicles and may not fit in smaller cars.
ExpensiveAt £479 RRP, the BeSafe Stretch is one of the pricier rear-facing options on the market.
No ISOFIXThe seat uses seatbelt installation rather than the quicker ISOFIX system, which some parents find less convenient.

Best for

  • Families with larger vehicles who can accommodate the seat's size
  • Parents prioritising maximum rear-facing safety over ease of transfer

May not suit

  • Smaller cars with limited backseat space
  • Frequent car seat swaps between multiple vehicles

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Measure your car's backseat dimensions to ensure the BeSafe Stretch will fit comfortably.

Getting the Most Out of It

Take advantage of the adjustable recline to keep newborns in a more reclined position.

Safety Note

Always ensure the support leg is properly extended and the tethers are securely fastened for maximum stability.
