Over the coming weeks, months and years
I am going to be sharing with you
Our #JaneMoments
Like the ones in the video below
We are working with Jane Prams
As brand ambassadors
To promote the world’s safest, healthiest, convertible all-in-one carrycot and car seat
We are so excited to be using the Jane Matrix Light 2 with Edie Mae
Our second rainbow baby
After losing Matilda Mae to SIDS
We are proud to be working with a brand
So passionate about baby safety and in developing products
That facilitate safer sleep on the the move
Edie is almost three weeks old now
The days have gone so fast
It is only now that I am finding time to start telling you
About this fantastic car seat and the Trider chassis that we have
Enabling the Matrix to be used in the car
And out and about on our family adventures
The Matrix Light 2 converts from a rear facing infant car seat
Into a carrycot that also suitable for overnight sleeping
When used with a safety mattress
In the car the Matrix can be rear facing in a sitting up position
Or with a twist of the optional ISOFIX base
The Matrix Light 2 becomes the first carrycot
Or lie flat car seat in the world with ISOFIX
Is currently the only car seat on the market
With no time limits for travel
Due to its lie-flat position
The Matrix Light 2
Is thought to be the healthiest car seat for newborns on the market
So far we are incredibly pleased with it
Being a more spacious infant car seat
The Matrix allows baby to travel in the safer rearward facing position for longer
Up to 18 months old or 13kg in weight
The ISOFIX base makes it super simple to put the car seat into the car
And the Jane Pro-Fix system (patented) makes it just as easy to connect with the Trider chassis
The Pro-Fix locks and unlocks car seats with just one movement
Eliminating the need for adaptors
For me the attraction of the Matrix
Is the benefits to babies’ health
And the ability to enable safer sleep on the move
A travel system such as the award-winning MATRIX LIGHT 2
Which can be used as a lie-flat or sitting up infant car seat in the car
And on a pram chassis
Helps new-born respiration
Nurtures the abdomen and
Aids spinal development
Facilitating safer sleep on the go

I would like to tell you a little more about what I like
About the Jane Matrix Light 2
The ability to travel in the lie flat position
There are a few lie flat car seats on the market
They are large and heavy
And they do not come with an ISOFIX base
The Matrix Light 2 is in a league of it’s own
The base and seat take up two seats in the middle row of our VW Touran
Leaving plenty of room for Bea to sit beside Edie
The seat position puts baby’s head in the centre of the car
When lying flat which I believe is much safer in a crash
Than if their head were near the door
We place Edie into her seat in the house
And walk to the car on our drive
She is usually asleep by the time we are all in the car
And has stayed asleep through family outings so far
Unless I purposefully rouse her for a feed
I love that we can travel and adventure
During nap time
Without Edie losing out on precious sleep
Ventilation
The Matrix Light 2
Has been designed with safety in mind
It has been made to allow longer travel times
In a healthier lie flat position
It has also been created for the purpose of overnight sleeping
And so has good ventilation in the base
The ventilation system
And use of breathable materials
Makes a safer sleep environment for babies
On the move and for longer periods of time
This dual purpose product
Is both car seat and carry cot
Which I think makes it’s higher price tag
Good value for money
The ease of ISOFIX and Pro-Fix
Easy is a word I associate with Jane
Their products make our life as large family easy
Easier
One way they do this is that the Matrix seat is so easy to fit onto the ISOFIX base
And easier still to pop onto the pushchair chassis
Using the Jane Pro-Fix system
You can literally just click and go
A definite plus point of this system for me
As I do not have time to fuss and fiddle adaptors
With four young children in tow
Comfort and safety combined
The Matrix Light 2 from Jane
Seems to be a very comfortable place for Edie to sleep
Her head rests in a supportive cushioned nest
The straps can be easily adapted to ensure a comfortable and secure fit
Edie sleeps soundly in the car and while we are walking around
Striking Design
When combined with the Jane Trider chassis
The Matrix Light 2 makes a stunning looking pram
I am head over heels in love with it
And we get lots of admiring glances
When out and about
I love the mix of fabrics
The depth of the hood
The pattern on the inside of the cover
Lots of attention to detail
Make this product practical to use
And striking to look at
We have the Matrix and Trider in Soil
But there are lots of different
Equally lovely colourways
To choose from
In Da Hood!
I love the deep hood
That protects baby from the elements
Has been very welcome
These past few super sunny days
Easy to push
Secured on to the Trider chassis
Which I will tell you more about in a separate review
The Matrix becomes an all terrain pram
That is incredibly easy to push
Even when you are 7!
Easy to carry
The car seat itself is easy to carry
It is heavy
And will of course become heavier to handle
With Edie in it as she grows
The handle enables you to get a good grip for carrying
And it is easy to hold on to either side of the base
To connect to the base or chassis
There is so much to like about this buggy
With two small negatives
That are easily justified
The Matrix is heavy
But it is exceptional quality
And it’s size allows longevity of use
Which also makes the high price tag
Better value for money
I am incredibly proud to be a Jane brand ambassador
And I look forward to sharing with you
Our journey with the Matrix Light 2
And the Jane Trider
Our #janemoments
Our family adventures
Edie Mae is one very lucky little lady
We were sent the Matrix Light 2 and the Jane Trider for the purpose of writing a series of reviews
Have you tried to install the Jane Matrix light 2 in flat position without the isofix base in your VW Turan? We have a VW Turan and we wonder if the car seat belts only installation will be enough.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards
Maja
Hi Maya
We always used the isofix
