The Best Car Seats For Newborns

A good car seat is an essential purchase for infants. They are suitable from birth to 13kg and are combined with a pushchair to create a travel system. They have an elongated design that lets babies rest in the most optimal position.

Legally, they have to be rear-facing until your baby is nine months old or 135cm tall. We recommend an iSize (also called R129) or ECE R44 approved seat that is equipped with ISOFIX and offers side impact protection.

Maxi-Cosi Pebble Pro i-Size

This Silver Cross model is worth an examination when you're looking for an iSize infant car seat that can protect your child right from birth until when they're ready to upgrade to a booster. It's the only R129-approved car seats that can be used right from birth and also provides full protection in a rear-facing seat up until 7 years of age, making it an investment that will last the lifetime of 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 car you consider purchasing. It's also important to think about other aspects, like the ease of installation and whether it's compatible with your vehicle. Innovative safety features will not work correctly if they're not installed properly.

The Pebble Pro has a sleek modern design with soft fabric covers which can be washed in the machine for easy cleaning. There's soft padding for your infant and a the seat liner is reversible to ensure comfort. It's an ergonomic handle with a shaped grip that makes it comfortable to lift and move.

As you can see in the photos the base for this car seat can be connected directly to your vehicle using either the Isofix connectors or with your vehicle's 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 with Maxi Cosi accessories such as footmuffs, seat covers, and sun shades to provide warmth or shield your child from sun damage.

This car seat is well designed and has many attributes that make it an excellent choice.

Like the Nuna PIPA Urbn, the Dream i-Size is also baseless which means that you can use it with the ISOFIX connectors or your vehicle's seat belt. The ISOFIX system is an exclusive, built-in installation system that takes just a few seconds to set up. It is a great choice for parents who frequently change cars or share a car with their family or use taxis and drivers.

It's also a little more expensive than maxicosi's cabriofix however it's among our favorites because it looks fantastic and comes with an swivel 360-degree feature. It also has the ability to recline three levels and an inlay for infants that is removable. It's also iSize certified and has an excellent crash test score, as well as being a top pick for safety by Which? (they base their recommendations on safety, including the ease of assembly and if it's installed correctly). Be aware that even the most durable 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 have tested that allows children to rear-face until they reach 23kg and 125cm. (roughly four years old). It also has the highest limit of height for an rear-facing seat of any we've reviewed. It is a unique feature, and is worth considering if you want your child to remain rear-facing as long as you can.

The seat is sturdy and sturdy and offers plenty of room for your child's head and torso. It's designed for comfort and comes with a one-handed reclining mechanism with 12 headrest positions and soft belt padding. We believe that it's built to endure the wear and tear of daily use, even though the button and mechanism that is used to loosen and tighten the straps are a bit fiddly and we worry about it getting stuck or breaking in the course of time.

It's also lightweight at just under 10kg, which makes it easy to get into and out of your car. It comes with a handy pocket at the back of the seat for storing items, and it has a built-in sun shade that comes with a handy velcro strip. It can be attached to strollers that are compatible which is great when you have to travel on multiple occasions.

The base of the seat is Isofix compatible and clicks into place quickly. It also has an adjustable support leg that can be adjusted using the small grey button that is hidden away on the rear of the seat. It also has an indicator light to show it's secure. The seat slides on the top, and there is an easy-to-use handle for lifting it up and down your car.

One of the greatest aspects of this seat is that it can be slid forward and backwards along the base to adjust the legroom. This means you can adapt the legroom as your child gets taller so they can still walk on their legs even if they're very tall. This is a great feature that is very effective. It took me around 30 minutes to set up the seat and then adjust the legroom after a little practice.

A lot of parents opt for a car seat that falls in the group 0+/1, group 1/2/3 or group 3/4 that can be adjusted to suit the size of their child. This kind of car seat is ideal for children ranging from birth to 12 years old.

The best car seats for newborns are secure and safe and you should stay clear of second-hand car seats unless they've had professionally cleaned and tested. Car safety experts Damon Marriott and Claire Waterhouse advise against purchasing a second-hand car seat from friends or relatives, as it's difficult to know its history. However, they recommend purchasing a second-hand seat from reliable seller or on eBay. It's also a good idea to verify the warranty prior to making any purchases. The warranty will include any repairs or replacements that may be necessary. Warranty terms can range from two to six year depending on the manufacturer. The longer the warranty is, the more comprehensive. The most comprehensive warranties offer replacement parts and free repairs for the first three to five years.
