20 Reasons Why Best Car Seats For Newborns Will Never Be Forgotten The Best Car Seats For Newborns


A high-quality car seat for newborns is a must-have. They are suitable from birth to 13kg, and can be used in conjunction with a pushchair, to create a travel system. They have an open design that allows babies to sleep in the most comfortable position.

The law stipulates that your baby must be rear-facing from the age of nine months, or 135cm. We recommend using an iSize (also known as R129) or ECE R44-approved seat equipped with ISOFIX and provides side impact protection.

Maxi-Cosi Pebble Pro i-Size

If you're looking for an iSize infant car seat that can last from birth until they're ready to transition to a booster, then this model from Silver Cross is definitely worth taking a closer look. It's one of one or two R129-approved car seats that are able to be used from birth, and provides full protection for rear-facing babies until 7. This makes it an excellent investment for your child.

The iSize approval covers more than just front impact tests, including side impact testing too therefore it is a good idea to verify this with any model you consider purchasing. It's also important to take into consideration other aspects, including the ease of installation and if it's compatible with your vehicle. Innovative safety features won't function correctly if they're not installed properly.

The Pebble Pro has a sleek, stylish design with a soft fabric cover which can be washed in the machine for easy cleaning. The cushion for the seat is cushioned for comfort and the reversible liner can be used for babies. It comes with a comfortable handle with a shaped grip that makes it easy to lift and transport.

The base of this car seat can be connected to your vehicle using the Isofix connectors, or by using the seatbelt. It is best to use the FamilyFix iSize base to guarantee the iSize's compliance and to facilitate installation. The base can be used in conjunction with Maxi Cosi accessories such as footmuffs, seat covers and sun shades to provide warmth or protect your child from sun exposure.

Apart from the i-Size certification and the excellent crash test results that allow it to achieve the top spot in all categories it is a well-designed car seat with numerous other attributes that are worth considering. The compact fold only takes up a tiny space in the trunk, it has 5-point safety harness, ergonomic carry handle, and 10 headrest positions for babies with memory foam. The seat will also fit into most pushchairs as part of a travel system. It can be used with the brand's FamilyFix 360 base.

The Silver Cross Dream i-Size is one of the newest products from the range of the company and is a luxurious choice that comes with a newborn insert for your precious little bundle. This car seat is i-Size approved and offers your child the best longevity starting at birth, with rear facing up to 18kg and with a high level of side impact protection thanks to its unique Motion Safe system. The rotating seat design makes it easy to get your child inside and out. The ISOFIX integrated lock is a safety feature.

Similar to the Nuna PIPA Urbn, the Dream i-Size is also baseless which means that you can use it with the ISOFIX connectors or the seat belt of your vehicle. The unique ISOFIX installation method is easy to use and takes only a few minutes to set up. It is ideal for parents who change cars frequently, travel in a family vehicle, or share a car with drivers and taxis.

This seat is also slightly more expensive than maxicosi's cabriofix, but it's one of our favorites because it is stylish and has a 360-degree swivel feature. It also has the ability to recline three levels and an infant-friendly inlay that can be removed. It is also iSize approved and has a top crash-test rating, and is a top safety pick by Which? (they base their recommendations on safety, such as the ease of installation and whether it's properly fitted). It's important to keep in mind that even the best car seats will only provide maximum protection if installed properly.

Axkid One i-Size

The Axkid One i-Size ISOFIX seat is the only one we have tested that allows children to rear-face until they reach 23kg and 125cm. (roughly four years old). It has the highest height limit for rear-facing of any seat we've tested. It's a unique feature, and is worth taking into consideration if you want your child to remain rear-facing as long as is possible.

The seat is comfortable and sturdy. There's plenty of space for the head and torso of your child to grow comfortably. It's designed with comfort in mind, and it has a recline adjustment that is one-handed with a minimum of 12 headrest positions and a soft belt padding. It's designed to last and withstand everyday use. However the button and mechanism to release and tighten straps are a bit fiddly. We're concerned that it could become stuck or break over time.

It's also a light seat, weighing just under 10kg, making it easy to get in and out of the car. It has a handy pocket on the back of the seat to keep items, and it has a built-in sun shade with an easy velcro strip. It can be easily clipped to an appropriate stroller which is ideal if you have to make multiple trips.

The base of the seat is Isofix compatible and snaps into place easily. The seat also features an adjustable support foot that can be adjusted by a small gray button that is hidden in the back. It also features an indicator light to let you know when it is secure. The seat is then able to slide over the top and has a handy grab handle that can be used for lifting it into and out of the car.

One of the greatest advantages of this seat is that it can slide forward and backwards along the base 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 fantastic feature that works well. It took me about 30 minutes to set up the seat and then adjust the legroom after a little practice.

It's important that you choose the right car seat that meets the most recent guidelines when purchasing one for your infant. The recline position is recommended to stop infants from taking an unnatural or unsafe posture. In addition, the seat should also include a removable padding that will help keep newborns snug and comfortable.

It's important to select a car seat that can grow along with your child. Many parents opt for car seats in the group 1+, group 1/2/3 or group 3/4 that can be adjusted to meet their child's size. This type of seat is suitable for babies to around 12 years old.

Second-hand car seats aren't suitable for babies. It is best to purchase them if they've been professionally cleaned and checked. Safety experts in the field of car seats Damon Marriott and Claire Waterhouse advise against purchasing a second-hand car seat through family members or friends, since it's difficult to know its history. However, car seats by age suggest buying a second-hand car seat from a reliable seller or on eBay. It's also a good idea to check the warranty before making any purchases. The warranty should cover any repairs or replacements that may be required. Warranty periods can vary between two and six years depending on the manufacturer. The longer the warranty is, the more favorable. The most comprehensive warranties offer replacement parts and free repairs for the first three to five years.
