    4 Stars A good all round car seat & pram 12/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Baby can lie flat, adjustable positions, versatile, good quality finish

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Adjustment/fitting to car can be tricky, takes up the whole rear seat when flat

    After some research my wife and I bought a Jane Slalom Pro Matrix travel system for our baby daughter (born November 2005). This review concentrates on the Matrix seat, I'll do another one for the pushchair/chassis so that I can be more specific in each. Why did we go for this seat? - We liked the chassis - We wanted something that our little girl could sleep in on long journeys (London - Scotland), having read about the recommendations about small babies in car seats - We liked the idea that it would later serve as a group 1 car seat - We thought it made for a nice, traditional type pram on ... more

    5 Stars A revolution in car seat design 30/05/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages stylish, better for babies health

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes up rear seat, takes some getting used to fitting

    The Matrix by the Spanish manufacturer Jane, is a unique infant carrier that can be used both in the traditional upright position and also horizontally in the rear of the car. This car seat is much larger than most infant carriers and can be used for up to 18 months. ( 9 months in the horizontal position) This means that, unlike some infant carriers, you will not be in the position of having your baby outgrow their infant carrier before they are ready to move to a forward facing car seat, a common problem. The seat addresses the growing concerns of health professionals over the use of infant ... more

    5 Stars Jane Matrix Cup 15/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lie flat position for Baby, very well padded, very secure fit in the car

    Disadvantages Disadvantages takes a bit longer than some to install

    My wife and I decided to use the Jane Matrix cup for our latest arrival who was born at 29 weeks. Having read all the research about the lie flat position for babies in car seats and being well aware that we would be using the seat for periods well in excess of half an hour stretches we felt that this was the safest way to go. The test done at the special care unit confirmed this for us. Our little one averaged 100% oxygen saturation during the hour long test done by the hospital on him in his car seat and you can't get better than that!! The seat itself is really well padded and cozy with ... more

    4 Stars Thumbs up for the MATRIX 09/03/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stylish Looking, Better design for babies, washable covers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite expensive, quite bulky and heavy, Doesn't fit on shopping trolleys

    After looking around at alot of other car seats and travel systems i read a thread on a baby website mentioning the revolutionary carseat that is the Matrix. I really wanted a lay flat carseat as i'd been told form various sources that babies should not be in the upright position carseats for more than an 1.5hours. This was no good to me if i was going on an afternoon shopping trip or for a long drive. The problem i had was that i had a corsa and this really didn't have a big boot. So most of the travel systems that had lay flat car seat wouldn't fit in the boot. After seeing the Matrix ... more

    5 Stars In safe hands 20/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very Safte, Easy to manouver, stylish

    Disadvantages Disadvantages quite heavy, cost

    After a mindfield of choosing which pram / travel system to buy we opted for the Jane Power Track 360 with the Matrix. I was a bit concerned that we were getting value for money at first, and that the Matrix would last well for our baby in the lying down position. However, once our baby arrived and we started using the system we were really happy with it. The Matrix car seat can be used as lie flat or upright. So far we have only used as lie flat, following the recommendation of health professionals (for baby's development). This means our baby sleeps on most journeys which is nice and quiet ... more
