The Best Car Seats For Newborns A car seat that is suitable for newborns is a must-have. They are suitable from birth to 13kg and can be used in conjunction with a pushchair, to create an entire travel system. They feature a flat design that allows newborns to rest in the most optimal position. Legally, they have to be rear-facing until the baby is nine months old or 135cm tall. We recommend choosing an i-Size (also called R129) or an ECE R44-approved baby seat that comes with ISOFIX and provides side impact protection. Maxi-Cosi Pebble Pro i-Size This Silver Cross model is worth a closer inspection when you're looking for an iSize infant seat that can protect your child from birth until when they are ready to upgrade to a booster. It's the only R129-approved carseats that can be used from birth and provides protection in a rear-facing position until seven years old and is a long-term investment for your child. It's worth checking if a model is i-Size approved. This includes side impact tests as well as front impact tests. It's also important to take into consideration other aspects, including the ease of installation and whether it's compatible with your car. Innovative safety features won't work correctly if they're not installed properly. The design of the Pebble Pro is sleek and stylish with soft fabric that's machine washable for quick and easy cleaning. There's plush padding for your infant and a reversible seat liner for comfort. It's an ergonomic carry handle with a shaped grip that makes it easy to carry and lift. As you can see from the pictures, the base for this car seat can be affixed directly to your vehicle using either the Isofix connectors or by using the seat belt on your vehicle. However, it's best to use the FamilyFix i-Size base for a simpler installation and to maintain iSize compliance. The base can be used with Maxi Cosi accessories such as seat covers, footmuffs, and sun shades to provide warmth or shield your child from sun exposure. The car seat is well-designed and comes with a number of attributes that make it a great option. It also comes with iSize approval, outstanding crash test results in all categories and possesses countless other features.

The seat is also compatible with a variety of pushchairs and travel systems including the FamilyFix 360 base. Silver Cross Dream ISize Silver Cross Dream i-Size, one of the newest products in the company's line-up, is a luxurious option with an infant insert. This car seat is iSize certified and gives your child the longest life span from birth, rear facing up to 18kg, and with a high level of side impact protection due to its unique Motion Safe system. The seat's rotating design makes it easier to get your child in and out and out, while the built-in simple lock ISOFIX ensures that it is secure in its place.

The seat has been awarded the AGR 2022 certificate of approval which is a prestigious award for infant car seats – and is compatible with the Silver Cross prams and pushchairs to create an entire travel system (adapters are available separately). Similar to the Nuna PIPA Urbn, the Dream i-Size is also baseless that means you can use it with the ISOFIX connectors or your vehicle's seat belt. The ISOFIX system is a distinctive installed system that is quick to set up. The seat is perfect for parents who change vehicles frequently and travel in a family vehicle, or share a car with taxi drivers and drivers. The seat is a little more expensive than maxicosi's Cabriofix however it's among our top picks due to its design. It looks great and has an swivel 360-degree feature. It also has a three-level gentle recline function and an infant-friendly inlay that can be removed. It's also iSize-approved and has a top crash-test rating, and is a top safety pick by Which? (they base their recommendations on safety, which includes ease of installation and if it's fitted correctly). Remember that even the top of car seats will only offer maximum protection in the event that it is installed correctly. Axkid One i-Size The Axkid One i-Size ISOFIX seat is the only one we've tested that allows children to rear-face until they reach 23kg and 125cm. (roughly four years old). It also has the highest maximum height for a rear-facing seat of any we've reviewed. It's definitely a unique feature and if you're hoping to keep your child rear-facing as long as it is possible, it's worth a look. The seat is solid and robust It has plenty of room to grow for your child's head and torso. It's designed with comfort in mind. it has a recline adjustment that is one-handed that can be used for no less than 12 headrest positions and soft belt padding. We think that it will be able to withstand the wear and tear of everyday usage, though the button and mechanism that is used to loosen and tighten the straps are a bit difficult to use and we are concerned about it getting stuck or breaking in the course of time. It's also quite light at just over 10kg, which makes it easy to get into and out of your car. It has a pocket to store small items on the back and an integrated sun shade with Velcro strips. It is easily clipped onto a compatible stroller, which is perfect if you have to make multiple trips. The seat's base is Isofix compatible and can be clicked into place with ease. It also comes with an additional leg for support that can be adjusted using tiny grey buttons tucked away on the rear of the seat. It also has an indicator light to let you know it's secure. The seat slides onto the top, and there's an easy grab handle for lifting it into and out of the car. This seat has a great feature that it can be moved forward and backwards along its base in order to alter the legroom. You can alter the legroom to suit your child's height so that they can cross their legs comfortably. This is a great feature and it's very effective and I've found that with a little practice it took me 30 seconds to adjust the seat and create the legroom. George at Asda Whether you're looking for your first infant car seat or a second to use in conjunction with your existing pushchair you'll find a fantastic range at George at ASDA. The well-known retailer is known for its affordable clothing and homeware. It's particularly popular around Christmas and other occasions. As with all parenting items, prices can vary. But you can pick up an infant car seat for babies from PS100 that doesn't require an base, and go up to PS725 for a complete infant carrier. If you are planning to use the pushchair you already own, buying an extra seat will save you money compared to purchasing an additional pram or travel system. If you're looking to purchase car seats for your newborn it's crucial to select one that meets the latest standards. These include a recommended recline position that prevents infants from sitting in an unnatural and unsafe position. In addition, the seat should also include a removable padding that will help keep babies comfortable and snug. Newborns and infants can outgrow their car seats very quickly therefore it is important to select a seat that will grow with them. Because of this, many parents opt for a group 1/2/3 or 0+/1 car seat that adjusts to accommodate their child's height. This kind of car seat is suitable from birth to about 12 years old. Second-hand car seats are not safe for infants. It is best to purchase them if they've been professionally cleaned and inspected. Damon Marriott and Claire Waterhouse, car safety experts, advise against buying a second-hand seat from a family member or friend because it's difficult to determine the history of the seat. They recommend a used seat purchased from a reputable seller or on eBay. Before purchasing any item it's an excellent idea to confirm the warranty. The warranty should cover repairs or replacements. Depending on the manufacturer, warranties vary from 2 to 6 years. The longer the warranty, the better. The most comprehensive warranties include repair and replacement parts as well as free repairs for the first three to five years.
