rear facing infant car seat has improved the design of its earlier i-Spin 360, which earned an excellent score in Which?'s crash tests as well as a good rating from ADAC.

4. Silver Cross Motion All Size 360

Silver Cross Motion is a new vehicle seat that's all-in-one from the trusted British brand that is known for its high-end pushchairs and prams. Our test subject Jasper loved it, describing it "the best-looking of the bunch, and the one my baby appeared to find most comfortable during long journeys."

This fully rotating R129 compliant car seat is suitable for infants up to 12 year olds. It won the ADAC 2022 Autumn Test's award for the top baby, toddler and child car seat. It was also tested to the extent that it exceeds the requirements to ensure that your child is protected throughout every journey.

For infants, it comes with a removable and cosy padding made of soft bamboo fabrics that's super comfortable and breathable. It's also antibacterial. The head support and body insert can be removed as your child grows and the 3 headrest positions and recline can be adjusted to fit your child's.

The 'green' light that indicates that the car seat has been properly installed and is ready to use is an exclusive feature. This makes it a great option for parents who are new to the family, and may not know the proper installation and fitting of car seats. It also comes with a stowable harness which can be used in either the rear or forward-facing position.


Another major selling point is that it's a permanent vehicle fixture and you don't need to wake up your sleepy newborn to get out for longer journeys. It's not compatible with travel systems like the Britax Romer Dualfix plus iSize or Joie iSpin 360 iSize. You'll need to purchase an additional travel bag.

The disadvantage of cars with a fixed structure like the Axkid One i-size is that they aren't as easy to carry around if you have to transport them between different cars. If you decide to buy an additional travel bag, choose one that is sturdy and can endure the wear and tear of frequent use. It's worth paying more for a bag that will last for as long as the car seat of your child.
