Our friends at Safe Traffic Systems are industry leaders when it comes to alternative options that allow children to ride safely in tight spaces, or when they’re on the go.

Safety 1st has listened to caregivers who are looking for extra leg room for their kiddos and created the Grow and Go Extend ‘n Ride LX, which includes a leg extension panel. That same panel becomes a footrest for forward facing children, which
