SITTING COMFORTABLY
Child seats or booster seats will soon be compulsory for most under-10s (the requirement to fit one depends on the child’s height) but despite obvious safety benefits they can damage a car’s upholstery and harm its resale value. These Ultra-Mats are designed to prevent such damage. Made from foam they form a barrier between the child seat and the car while improving grip to stop the seat slipping. They are compatible with front or rear-facing safety seats and booster seats, and fit in any car. The price is £19.99. Contact SKJP on 01827 839 140 (www.skjp.com) for stockists

TALK ISN’T SO CHEAP
The Nokia 8800 Aston Martin Edition mobile phone is trying to be as exclusive as the car. It has a stainless steel casing etched with the company’s logo, while the colour display shows the current Aston range. The ringtone is the sound of the 380bhp V8 engine in the Vantage. Like its inspiration the phone doesn’t come cheap — it costs £940 and is available from Aston Martin dealers or direct on 01926 644 278 (www.astonmartin.com)

MICROSCOPICALLY CLEAN
The simple art of cleaning your car just became a lot more complicated. A new range of car-care products boasts the use of “nano particles” (measuring one-millionth of a millimetre), which Turtle Wax claims help protect your car by dealing with microscopic imperfections missed by conventional cleaning agents. There are eight products including waxes, wheel cleaners and glass cleaners, with prices from £3.99 to £7.99. Available from most accessory stores, you can find your nearest stockist on 01695 716 610 (www.turtlewaxuk.com)
