The Slalom R pushchair and Matrix Light car seat took first in their categories, beating off stiff competition from other brands.

Mums and Dads who voted in the awards were impressed by the design and quality of the Slalom R which can be used as a rear of forward-facing pushchair. New for 2010, this pushchair is already established as one of the most comfortable. And the compact folding size means that it’s practical and easy to get in and out of car boots. The innovative front disc brake, and 360-degree swivel wheel makes it safer and easier to use, and are features that have helped earn Slalom R this Gold Award.

Safety is also a feature of the Matrix Light car seat, which parents and industry experts are now saying is one of the safest and well-designed on the market. It is the only infant car seat that offers the option of safely travelling with a baby sitting up – or lying down. The ‘lying’ position is recommended by baby health experts, especially for long journeys, as it nurtures the abdomen, aids spinal development and helps with respiratory and lung development.

The Matrix Light has also been recognised as a value for money product as it can be used for overnight sleeping as a carrycot or pram. It is also very easy to use as its built-in Pro-fix system allows parents to lock and lift the Matrix off the pushchair with one hand, eliminating the need to use or buy extra awkward fitting kits.

Practical Parenting has been at the forefront in testing and showcasing Jané products and these awards are a validation of the product’s great quality, usability and value from the magazine’s readers.
