Group 0+

If you're a parent of baby or a newborn car seat, an infant car seat is an essential item to have. These seats are designed to shield babies from the dangers of driving including head injuries by ensuring that they remain in the correct position. While all-stage car seat also provide protection for infants, they lack the enhanced safety features found in infant car seats.

Car seats for infants are generally rear-facing, and allow the child to ride in the seat up to 15 months old. Many of these seats include a newborn insert that can be used to support babies of smaller sizes and helps them stay comfortably. Furthermore, reputable infant car seats have a recommended recline to ensure that the head of the child is secure during the ride.

All infant car seats must be approved according to the iSize standard and meet European safety standards. The i-Size standard is more advanced than R44/04, therefore cars that are approved to this standard tend to have better side-impact crash tests, which are crucial for infants and newborns. The iSize seats also utilize the more sophisticated Q-series crash-test dummies, which provide more protection for infants.

When buying an infant car seat, buyers must consider how frequently they will need to move it from one vehicle to the next. People who frequently use taxis or car sharing services should search for a seat with distinctive baseless design, such as the Nuna PIPA Urbn which allows the seat to be put in place in a matter of seconds. This makes it possible for the seat to be quickly swapped between different vehicles. It is perfect for parents who need to make frequent trips.

It's also easy to clean which aids in cleaning any spills or stains.

This includes rigorous tests of accident simulations as well as the use of specific types of materials to safeguard your child from side impact injuries. There are two standards in force - ECE R44 and R129 (known as i-Size), which is more stringent and considers both weight and height when classifying car seats for children.

In our experience, seats that conform to the R129 standard (i-Size) tend to be more secure and easier to install and keep your child facing rearward for a longer period of time. The only drawback is that they cannot be used with a front passenger airbag and may not be suitable for some families. It's important to contact the manufacturer before purchasing if you're worried. They should be able to provide you with the latest information and suggestions for your particular situation.
