These rear-facing seats, which are generally R129 or Group 0+ (i-Size) baby car seats for babies, are suitable from the time of birth. These seats are often paired with strollers to create travel systems.

Group 0+

If you're a mother of an infant or newborn car seat, an infant car seat is essential. These seats are made specifically for infants to shield them from road hazards and head injuries. They accomplish this by keeping them in the correct position. Although all-stage car seats can also provide protection for infants however they do not have the advanced safety features offered by infant car seats.

Car seats for infants are typically rear-facing, and allow the baby to use the seat up to 15 months old. Many of these models include an insert for newborns to help smaller babies and keep them comfortable. Furthermore, reputable infant car seats have a recommended recline to ensure that the head of the child is secure throughout the ride.

All infant car seats should be certified to the i-Size standard and be in compliance with European safety standards. The I-Size standard is more advanced than R44/04. This means that cars that are approved under this regulation are likely to be more secure in side impact crash tests. This is crucial for newborns and babies. The i-Size seat also uses the more advanced Q-series crash test dummies, which provide more protection for infants.

Those who choose to buy an infant car seat should be aware of how often they'll have to transfer it between cars. For those who regularly use taxis or car sharing services should search for a model with an exclusive baseless design, such as the Nuna PIPA Urbn which allows the seat to be set up within a matter of minutes.

Like the Group 0+ seats, it can rotate so it is easy to put the lightweight baby car seat in and out, fit using ISOFIX or a car seatbelt with the top tether. It is rear-facing. It is also easy to clean, which is beneficial for spills and stains.

It's important to keep in mind that your baby can outgrow a car seat for infants quite quickly - many parents discover they need to replace their seats by nine months or earlier. The majority of manufacturers recommend moving to a different car seat when your child's head is within an inch of the top of the car seat.

A car seat has to comply with specific European safety standards to be sold. This involves rigorous testing in simulations of accidents, and the use specific types of materials to safeguard your child against side impact injuries. Two standards are in force at the moment The two standards are ECE R44 and R129 also known as i-Size. The latter is more strict and takes into account height as well as weight when classifying car seats.

Our experience has proven that seats that are approved to the R129 standard, also known as iSize, tend to be safer and simpler to install. They also allow your child facing rearwards for a longer period of time. The only drawback to these seats is that they cannot be used with an airbag for the front passenger, which may not suit some families. It is essential to get in touch with the manufacturer prior purchasing if you are concerned. They should be able to provide you with the latest information and guidance specific to your situation.

Group 2

A car seat that is a group 2 is designed for infants that are sufficient to be upgraded from a Group 0+ but not yet old enough for a convertible Group 1 car seat. It's not as common as the all-in-one models but it's worth keeping in mind if you're considering an infant car seat uk car seat that can take your child from birth right up to around four years old.

It is essential that the car seat you choose is compliant with European safety standards.

Seats with the i-Size certification are easier to install, and provide better protection against side impacts, and can keep your child rear-facing longer.

The Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 Pro is designed for infants up to 15 months old, is a top option with impressive crash test results. The LATCH connectors, which are rigid, change color when properly connected. It also comes with a base that swivels to help reduce movement in the car and an inlay designed to hug the baby's neck, head and back to support their correct posture.

The Cybex Aviounaut Pixel Pro is another option. It also comes with 360-degree base swivel as well as a unique G Cell system that provides protection against collisions with the sides. It's more expensive than the other seats, but it gives excellent protection and good value for money. Jasper found it comfortable for long journeys and it looks nicer than some of the other seats we looked at, too.

Group 3

A group 3 infant car seat is a triple-in-one car seat that will serve your child right from birth through to the booster stage. These seats start off rearward-facing (some until your child is at least 9kg) and can later be turned to face forwards - they can be used in this manner until they reach their maximum weight of 36kg.

It's also very easy to set up with ISOFIX and comes with an excellent indicator that changes colour for when you've got it secure.

We don't recommend switching groups too soon, as children in the lower limits of each group may be more susceptible to injury in a crash, therefore it's best to hold on to the seat you've always had until your child hits their new limit. There are still some excellent options in this group. We recommend the Silver Cross Motion All Size 360 which will last until their 12th birthday.

Another great alternative is the Cozy N Safe Arthur, that will take your child from the time they were born to the four-year-old booster stage. It's not as expensive as the top-rated Silver Cross, and features an extensive array of safety and comfort features, like the ability to recline with one hand and at least 13 headrest positions.
