I've read on this forum that the Silver Cross should be avoided as a car seat trying to do too many things at once does it badly - but I can't actually find any evidence for this, it has the iSize certification and I don't believe it's been ADAC tested - can anybody shed any light on this? I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong place, but I can't actually seem to find detailed safety reports for any car seats other than those tested by ADAC? Key specs – Group: 0/0+; Item weight: 1.7kg; Attachment method: Isofix; Additional features: Pushchair attachment available, 360-degree rotation With this in mind, the Silver Cross Motion All Size 360 car seat scored an impressive 3.0 overall which is less than its competition - and a good thing when it comes to ADAC scoring! Sophie: The depth of the product is very deep, we have a large family car and the passenger seat has to be moved very far forward to accommodate the seat. I also think it would be handy to have a removable bar attachment to allow for toys to be added to keep smaller babies entertained, my daughter really missed this feature. Product Information The Q series dummies are much better engineered than the older P series dummies which means their level of movement is much more lifelike and the offer better repeatability.

ADAC test front impact (40mph) and side impact (31mph). More important than the speed tested is the rate of deceleration (how hard the impact is). ADAC test methods use more aggressive decelerations than the regulation The Maxi-Cosi Coral car seat fits via a separate FamilyFix3. This connects to the Isofix anchors in your car or it can be secured using the seat belt of your car. It’s not cheap and will only last until your baby is a year old (or 12kg), but we think it’s worth it.

For the Crash Safety, the Silver Cross Motion All-Size 360 achieved an impressive 2.5 rating. This is after the seat was rigorously crash tested in 14 different configurations, the highest number of crash tests assessed for any ADAC tested product. The other downside of the all in one seats is that the boosters on them are really bulky and huge due to having to perform the job of a harnessed seat earlier on. The best part of swapping to a booster seat is that you get to ditch the bulky seat and swap to this more lightweight and easy one, so you shoot yourself in the foot a bit by going for an all stages one.

Be aware that it’s not advised to keep a baby in a car seat for longer than two hours. If your journey is longer than that, the NHS suggests pulling over and taking the child out for a short time before continuing on your way. What are the UK laws? There are simple to remove inserts, crafted from soft natural bamboo fabrics, and an easily adjustable headrest that grows with your baby, so they’ll always be in the most comfortable position. Peace of Mind The Motion All Size 360 was selected to be featured in the Autumn/Winter 2022 ADAC testing program and after months of waiting, we are extremely proud that Silver Cross' newest car seat performed so well! Kelly: I do feel that this product matches other similar products on the market in many ways so I would find it hard to separate this product as a stand out above the rest. I have experience using the Joie 360 and I have found both models to be very similar. I would perhaps say that the Silver Cross Model offers a slight edge in terms of comfort. My daughter seems to be sitting in a better position and as the product / Isofix isn't as chunky she has more room to stretch out our legs.ADAC score the car seat across 5 key areas, safety, ergonomics, chemical content, ease of cleaning, how easy it is to fit. Combining all of these to give an overall publicly available score So... long story short, I would probably get another Joie i-Spin, or a Britax Dualfix i-size, or maybe the Joie Spin Safe. Although that one isn't i-size, it does have the same pop out bits on the sides like the i-Spin does so it has better side impact safety than the original Joie 360. Or Recaro Salia is on offer at Uber Kids for a similar price point to all of these and the Silver Cross, the Recaro is a nice seat too. Key specs – Group: 0-3; Item weight: N/S; Attachment method: Isofix; Additional features: 360-degree rotation, removable inserts To solve this, while also offering an easy way to switch from rear-facing to forward-facing when the time comes, Joie has created a car seat that, as the name suggests, spins 360 degrees. This means you can spin the seat towards the door and then into the correct position. The Nextkid is a smart and comfortable booster seat that should keep your child safe and comfortable until they can safely sit in a car with just a seatbelt.

We put the seat through its paces with a fairly tall five-year-old, who looked fully supported and secure once fastened in. The side wings delivered extra comfort when he fell asleep, offering a comfy place to support his head. Suitable from birth all the way through to 145cm (12 years approx.), the Motion All Size 360 Car Seat from Silver Cross is an R129 approved, all stages car seat with 360° rotation. The Motion All Size can effortlessly switch between rearward and forward facing positions to make it easier getting your child in and out of the car seat. With its well thought out design, the Motion All Size 360 boasts eco-friendly fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles and luxuriously soft, breathable natural bamboo interior fabrics. ADAC testing is conducted independently from the manufacturers/brands. They select the seats themselves, purchasing them without informing the brands until the testing is conducted. They test in a whole range of configurations depending on the product, but typically identifying the worst performing configurations and testing to them. For the Silver Cross Motion All Size 360 14 different configurations were tested. We spoke to these real parent testers to get their review... How did this product make your life easier?

Autumn Test 2022 with all rating levels – Silver Cross Motion All Size 360 – ADAC (an internationally recognised independent testing body renowned for its stringent approach to crash testing). Marvellous Motion The Silver Cross motion full 360 swivel function enables you to have the seat either rearward or forward-facing. Because of its larger protective shell, your little one can ride rearward in comfort for longer. It also has side loading, for easy access when getting them in and out (with less fuss).

The eight-position adjustable head rest, three-position recline when either forward or rearward facing and newborn insert with removable sections mean you can adapt to your growing baby and have reassurance that they are comfortable whilst travelling. The car seat is designed with a 5-point harness that secures your child safely in the seat and protects them during sudden stops or accidents.

Sarah: Now my daughter has reached the ‘terrible twos’ she soon lets me know when she doesn’t want to do something – like being strapped into a car seat.Our previous car seat didn’t rotate and it was a real battle at times to get her in. Being able to spin this car seat to face me has made it so much easier, saving me time and energy on the nursery run. The seat is very easy to rotate – you just have to press one button. I also find the straps easy to alter as the adjustment button is more visible than on our previous car seat so no more rooting around to find it. My daughter looks super comfy in this seat – there is plenty of padding and the bamboo fabric is lovely and soft (Silver Cross claims it is both anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic). However, you do pay a premium for the superior materials. The most recent addition to the law involves booster seat regulations, but it doesn’t actually affect you as a consumer. Instead, all newly released booster seats can only be made and sold to a child who is 4ft 1in or taller, or who weighs 22kg or more. Existing booster seats will still be valid in your car, so don’t worry about rushing out to buy brand-new seats. The Joie iSpin 360 Grow looks similar to the Joie iSpin 360 except it goes up til 7 years/125cm/25kg. The Silver Cross Motion All Size 360 goes all the way up to 12 years/150cm. Both can ERF til 4 years/18kg. Key specs – Group: 0/0+; Item weight: 2.8kg; Attachment method: Isofix or seatbelt; Additional features: Pushchair attachment available, no-rethread harness
