Product Information

Car seats are designed to protect a child's most vulnerable areas at each stage of their development. Our advice would be to look out for a modular system – one that uses a base which is also compatible with a rear-facing baby car seat and then a rear-facing toddler seat. Fitting advice for carrycot car seats Lie-flat or carrycot car seats can be a good solution for newborns, especially premature babies or those with medical conditions, who need to be transported lying flat.

Toddler car seats and the benefits of extended rear-facing car seats Car seat and booster seat laws in the UK state that beyond 15 months of age, a child may begin using a front-facing car seat. Children who are 135 centimetres or less, or children who are under 12 (whichever comes first) will also require use of a car or booster seat. Babies can move up to a forward-facing Group 1 seat when they reach 9kg, but we think this is far too early because their bodies may not be strong enough. It's safer to leave a baby rear-facing until they're at least 13kg or 15 months old - preferably longer.Extended rear-facing car seats, that let you keep your child rear-facing until the age of four/18kg/105cm, are becoming more common, and crash tests show they're much safer. We'll cover everything from UK car seat laws, and the differences between height and weight-based car seats, to whether you can use them in a taxi, minicab or Uber.

Make a note of your child's weight and height, as this will determine what seat you’ll need to buy. Record the weight in imperial and metric units – people often use pounds and ounces, but car seats are approved for weight groups in kg. Noting down your child's weight in both units will prevent mistakes when converting from one to another. Measure their height in centimetres. Moving babies and younger children up to the next group before they reach the maximum weight or height for their seat could lead to more severe injuries in the event of a crash. It’s also against the law to put your child in a seat that’s inappropriate. These groups are defined by United Nations safety regulations and cover children from birth up to 12 years old or 135cm (around 36kg).Children are too small to position the adult belt over their shoulders and pelvis correctly, and their bones aren't strong enough to absorb the energy of a crash without affecting their internal organs. Distribute the forces of a crash over the strongest parts of the body, with minimum damage to the soft tissue and organs. Car seat manufacturers and industry advisors recommend that a child is only left in a car seat or carrier for a maximum of two hours within a 24 hour period. i-Size car seats go by height instead of weight. A true i-Size car seat will only use Isofix connectors, although some baby car seats can still be installed using the car's adult seatbelt. It's mandatory for a baby to be rear-facing in an i-Size seat until they are 15 months old. Your car and car seat must have Isofix, a system that attaches car seats directly to the frame of your car using connectors (either on an isofix base or on the seat itself).
