by Jamie Aderski
Infant seats are widely available, so are booster seats as they age up—but what about the “in-between”? Looking for a recommendation for that elusive next step from the infant car seat? We have it!

The KNOXConvertible Car Seat provides a rear-facing and forwarding-facing solution that accommodates a growing baby and toddler.

The KNOX's Multi-Directional Tether reduces seat rotation and stress on a child’s head and neck in the event of an impact. When used in rear-facing mode, the Multi-Directional Tether reduces the potential for injury by 45%* (*Data based on crash tests conducted at independent labs in the United States and Canada.)
SMARTSecure™ System
Parents, this is genius. It’s safety you can see, and it’s going to make your life so much easier, with a lot less worry while you're on the road. This unique technology utilizes a tightness indicator and robust tensioning clips to provide a visual confirmation of correct installation each time. Now you know every time that, yes, it’s in right and your child is as safe as can be.
Koroyd® Technology
Developed from aerospace safety research, innovated for action sports, and now built into the base of the KNOX car seat—just, wow. This exclusive partnership is a child safety industry first! The result is that the Koroyd technology provides more advanced impact protection. The welded tube structure crumples instantly and consistently on impact, absorbing maximum force in a controlled manner to minimize energy transfer to the child. Bottom line: You can’t get more high-tech than this.
UPPAbaby’s KNOX boasts a whole family of features, designed to protect and provide unparalleled side impact protection including:
Active Support Headrest is heads above the rest. Utilizing the absorption and recovery properties of specialized foams, KNOX's headrest provides advanced side impact protection around the child’s head and neck and adjusts to ensure correct positioning as your child grows.
Side Impact Pods are a small feature that makes a big difference. Located on the side of the shell and always engaged, the pods absorb and deflect crash forces in the event of a side-impact crash.
Impact Dispersion Zone EPP foam strategically placed between the inner and outer shell absorbs crash forces, further protecting the child.
They seriously have every little detail down. Here's even more tech to keep your little one safe in case of impact:
Recline Indicator: The labeling system provides clear instructions on what positions are acceptable for Rear-Facing and Forward-Facing modes.
Two-Piece Fit Inlay: The inlay allows for flexibility and proper fit in the harness system, promoting optimum recline.
