 LONDON, October 2016 – Leading car seat manufacturer Britax is launching a bespoke Snapchat geofilter exclusively for this year’s Baby Show, taking place at London’s Olympia on 21-23 October. A social first for Britax, visitors will be able to select the new filter to take part in a competition to win their brand new BABY-SAFE i-SIZE infant carrier.

With a growing number of consumers continuing to adopt and use Snapchat, Britax has created the filter to celebrate the launch of its first i-SIZE car seat. The platform has seen a 588% increase on users who are mums in recent months and Britax will use its bespoke geofilter at this year’s Baby Show Olympia to engage with this highly influential audience.

To win the brand new BABY-SAFE i-SIZE infant carrier through Snapchat, visitors can:

 

1. Visit the Britax stand at the Baby Show
2. Select Britax’s unique filter and take a Snap
3. Send the photo to the brand’s Snapchat channel, BritaxUK

Bengi Bingol Yalcin, Marketing Manager of Britax UK said, “We wanted to give visitors something different at this year’s Baby Show whilst also celebrating the launch of the BABY-SAFE i-SIZE infant carrier. Snapchat offers us the opportunity to experiment and reach a wider audience of millennial parents, mums in particular. We can’t wait to see everyone’s snaps”.

The BABY-SAFE i-SIZE infant carrier is designed with Britax’s renowned crash testing capabilities and research and conforms to the new car seat regulation ECE R129 (i-Size), suitable for newborns up to 15 months, with 83cm of space.
