Silver Cross Approach Plus 360 Car Seat

Silver Cross Approach Plus 360 Toddler Car Seat

The Revolutionary Rotating Car Seat That Grows With Your Child

Introducing the Silver Cross Approach Plus 360 – the premium rotating car seat that adapts seamlessly from toddler through to big kid. Designed for children from approximately 15 months to 12 years (61-150cm), this innovative seat combines the convenience of 360-degree rotation with extended rear-facing capability and forward-facing flexibility as your child grows.

The Approach Plus 360 works with the Silver Cross Base Plus 360 Rotating Isofix Base (sold separately or as a complete package) – the same modular base you may already be using with the Silver Cross Glide Plus 360 infant carrier. This intelligent system allows you to invest once in the rotating base and simply upgrade the seat component as your child develops.

Modular System Innovation

Seamless Progression Through Childhood

The Approach Plus 360 is the next stage in Silver Cross's revolutionary modular rotating system:

• Same Base, New Stage: Works with your existing Base Plus 360 from the infant carrier stage
• Simple Seat Swap: One-click removal of infant carrier, one-click installation of Approach Plus 360
• Continued Rotation Benefit: 360° convenience continues throughout toddler and childhood stages
• Investment Protection: Your Base Plus 360 purchase extends value across multiple years
• No Re-Installation: Base remains in vehicle – just swap the seat component as your child grows

Complete Modular Journey:

1. Birth to 13kg: Glide Plus 360 infant carrier on Base Plus 360
2. 61-150cm (15 months-12 years): Approach Plus 360 on the same Base Plus 360
3. One base investment: Approximately 12 years of rotating convenience

Revolutionary 360° Rotation Technology

SmartRotate™ System for Every Stage

Experience game-changing convenience that lasts for years:

• Effortless Access: Rotate your child towards the car door for natural, ergonomic lifting and buckling
• Back-Saving Design: Eliminates dangerous twisting and stretching throughout toddler and childhood stages
• Rear-Facing Rotation: Makes extended rear-facing practical and convenient up to 105cm
• Forward-Facing Rotation: Continues the convenience when your child transitions to forward-facing travel
• Multiple Lock Positions: Secure rotation stops at optimal angles for your vehicle configuration
• Smooth Ball-Bearing Mechanism: Precision engineering ensures effortless rotation after thousands of daily uses

Whether you're managing a wriggly toddler, helping an independent preschooler buckle themselves, or navigating tight parking spaces with a bigger child, the rotating function transforms challenging moments into smooth, stress-free transitions throughout 6+ years of use.

Seamless Base Plus 360 Connection

Extended Rear-Facing Excellence

Maximum Protection for Longer

We always recommend rear-facing travel for as long as possible – the Approach Plus 360 makes this practical and comfortable:

Rear-Facing: 61-105cm (approximately 15 months to 4 years)

• Extended Protection Period: Keep your child rear-facing significantly longer than minimum requirements
• Optimal Safety Position: Rear-facing provides up to 5 times better protection in frontal collisions
• Swedish-Inspired Standards: Following the proven safety approach used in Sweden for decades
• Generous Legroom: Thoughtful design accommodates growing legs comfortably
• Easy Access: 360° rotation makes rear-facing positioning practical for daily use
• Recline Positions: Multiple angles ensure comfort for sleeping and awake travel

Why Rear-Facing Matters:

In a collision, rear-facing seats distribute crash forces across the entire back of the seat, protecting your child's head, neck, and spine. The Approach Plus 360's extended rear-facing capability (up to 105cm) means you can provide this superior protection for significantly longer than traditional seats, with rotation making it genuinely practical.

Forward-Facing Versatility

Smart Transition When Ready

When your child outgrows rear-facing or reaches the height limit:

Forward-Facing: 76-150cm (approximately 15 months to 12 years)

• Continued Rotation Convenience: 360° rotation remains functional in forward-facing mode
• Secure Five-Point Harness: Up to 105cm provides restraint superior to adult seatbelts
• High Back Booster Mode: 100-150cm with vehicle seatbelt for older children
• Side Impact Protection: Enhanced wings protect throughout all forward-facing stages
• Adjustable Headrest: 12 positions accommodate growing height seamlessly
• Long-Term Investment: Single seat covers approximately 6-12 years of use

Flexible Staging Options:

The Approach Plus 360 adapts to your child's development with multiple configuration options, ensuring optimal safety and comfort at every stage whilst maintaining the convenience of rotation throughout.
