DESCRIPTION

Avionaut Pixel 3 Infant Car Seat (40–86 cm | 0–13 kg)

The Avionaut Pixel 3 is a premium infant car seat designed to protect and support your baby from their very first journey home.

Suitable for newborns and infants from 40–86 cm (0–13 kg), it combines advanced safety engineering, exceptional lightness, and ergonomic comfort for everyday parenting.

Avionaut Pixel Pro 3 Manufactured in Europe to the highest standards, Pixel Pro 3 is fully compliant with i-Size (R129) safety regulations, offering parents confidence, reassurance, and ease of use from day one.

Why parents love the Avionaut Pixel 3

Ultra-lightweight for everyday life

One of the lightest infant car seats in its class, the Pixel 3 is easy to carry, lift, and move between car and pushchair. Its lightweight construction makes daily travel simpler—especially during those early weeks with a newborn.

Advanced safety from the very start

The protective shell is made from expanded polypropylene (EPP), a high-performance material that absorbs and disperses impact forces in the event of a collision. Unlike rigid plastics, EPP flexes under stress, helping to protect your baby’s delicate body while remaining durable and environmentally responsible.

Newborn insert developed with physiotherapists

Designed in collaboration with child physiotherapists, the Pixel Pro 3 features a patented newborn insert with 24 adjustment configurations. This allows a precise fit as your baby grows, supporting healthy spinal alignment, clear airways, and comfortable breathing. The ergonomic design also helps reduce pressure on the abdomen, lowering the risk of reflux—particularly important for premature and smaller babies.

Flexible, secure installation

The Pixel Pro 3 can be installed using the IQ Orbit rotating base or secured with a vehicle seat belt. Its carefully optimised recline angle ensures a correct position in almost any car, improving both safety and comfort.

Breathable comfort in every season

The AirFlow upholstery promotes continuous air circulation, helping to regulate temperature and reduce sweating. Soft, supportive padding adapts gently to your baby’s body, ensuring comfort on short trips and longer journeys alike.

Easy harness fastening

An intuitive harness guidance system makes securing your baby quick and simple, ensuring the straps are correctly positioned and tensioned every time.

Practical, easy-clean fabrics

Durable, abrasion-resistant upholstery can be removed easily for washing—perfect for everyday spills, dribbles, and accidents.

Designed for real life with a newborn

The Avionaut Pixel Pro 3 is built around the real needs of modern parents: lightweight handling, intuitive installation, and exceptional ergonomic support for your baby. Paired with the IQ Orbit rotating base, it makes lifting your child in and out of the car smoother and more comfortable. Thanks to universal adapters, it can also attach to most pushchair frames, creating a convenient travel system for daily errands or longer outings.

Avionaut Pixel 3 delivers safety, comfort, and peace of mind—so those first journeys together feel calm, secure, and effortless.

I ordered two BeSafe Flex FIX 2 seats after researching extensively, including AI recommendations and YouTube reviews. My primary criteria were safety, build quality, and comfort for long journeys.

One seat arrived today (the second is on backorder), and honestly, I was disappointed the moment I unpacked it.

First Impressions - Build Quality:

For a seat positioned and priced as premium, the materials feel surprisingly low-end. The overall construction feels comparable to seats in the £90-£120 range.

The mesh cover does not align well with the underlying plastic shell.
There are visible inconsistencies where the fabric doesn’t sit cleanly against the structure.

The padding, especially in the headrest, is very thin and noticeably firm. It feels hard rather than supportive, which raises concerns about comfort on longer journeys.
Also, another reviewer mentioned there's noise when moving protection side flaps - this is correct although can't confirm whether it's the case while in use in the car because have not yet installed the car seat (am thinking about returning it).

At this price point, I expected significantly better refinement and cushioning.

For context, I currently use or have used the following:

1. Joie i-Spin™ 360 i-Size

This has been an excellent seat in terms of comfort, quality, and functionality. It feels premium, well engineered, and thoughtfully designed. My kids slept extremely well in it during long trips. Recline is slightly stiff but manageable. Overall, fantastic seat for its category.

2. Cybex Solution G

Decent seat with slight recline. We had an issue where the headrest degraded after prolonged sun exposure. One unit was repaired by the manufacturer; the second was refunded. Still, overall solid build and excellent ADAC safety 1.7 rating.

3. Cybex Solution G2 Plus

Pretty much same as above but without recline and collapses for easy boot storage. We use it for shorter trips. No major complaints so far and the headrest issue appears to be resolved (presumably better glue was used to put it together).

Major Concerns With BeSafe Flex FIX 2

1. Exposed Hip Area Plastics

This is my biggest concern.
There are plastic elements on both sides near the lap belt guides. In my opinion, these plastics have exposed relatively sharp edges and are insufficiently padded.

If a child is sitting fully back in the seat, in a side-impact scenario those plastic structures appear positioned in a way that could press directly into the hip or lower body area. I would expect this region, particularly around belt routing and hip contact points, to be fully padded and energy-absorbing, not exposed.

By comparison, the Cybex Solution G has additional padding covering these areas and integrates belt guides more smoothly into the side structure.

2. Recline Mechanism

The recline adjustment is so far best I have seen in this category but requires two hands and deliberate effort. Practically, this means you must stop the car to adjust it.

By contrast:

The Joie i-Spin 360 allows easier one-handed adjustment.
The Cybex Solution G also allows quick recline changes.

I was able to use the recline while driving by reaching out with one of my hands without stopping my car - very convenient and no real risk.

For a seat marketed for convenience and long-distance comfort, this feels like a step backward.

3. Overall Refinement

The seat feels flimsy relative to expectations. Fabric tension and alignment are inconsistent.

The summer covers I purchased (sold as compatible) do not fit properly and are way too small. They appear designed for a slightly different model, as there are attachment hooks that don’t align. Interestingly, the quality of the covers feels better than the seat itself.

Value for Money

Given the premium pricing, I expected:

Superior materials
Excellent finishing
Thoughtful padding distribution
Clear evidence of advanced side-impact energy management for both upper and lower body

Instead, the seat feels cost-optimised.

At this price level, I would currently choose:

Britax (KIDFIX Pro M or similar with ISOFIX and recline)
Cybex Solution G (if available)
Cybex Solution G2 Plus

All feel more cohesive in build quality and design execution + lower price.

Final Thoughts

Safety, build quality and comfort were the primary reasons I chose this seat. Based on my first-hand experience, the BeSafe Flex FIX 2 does not meet my expectations in build quality.

Unless something changes after further evaluation, I will most likely return it although there's only one alternative that has worse recline.

If you’re considering this seat, I strongly recommend inspecting it in person before purchasing, particularly the hip area construction and headrest padding , to decide whether it meets your standards.

Great seat, grandson loves it. Great service thank you.

My son previously had a Crelling harness but had worked out how to unclip the straps and I was at a lose to what to use next.
So far the magnetic harness is working so well and I have high hopes it’ll work moving forward. It’s a little tricky installing due to adjusting in the back but once sized up correctly it’s so easy to use.
Staff at the Essex branch of in car safety were great and explained everything and answered all my questions. Would 100% recommend

Excellent arrived on time

I had my daughter in the Nuna Pipa Lite carrier from birth and she just always seemed so uncomfortable. As time went on she got more distressed during car journeys and it was enough to cause a car accident. I went to see Claire at Towcester and she went through available seats for her size and we decided the Avionaut Stardust. It’s been a life changer, she falls asleep within minutes, she can see out of the windows when she is awake she isn't just staring at the back of the seat. It sounds dramatic but it’s changed our lives!
