20 Trailblazers Are Leading The Way In Best Car Seat Newborn
The Best Newborn Car Seats in the UK Safety in car seats is a top priority for all parents. There's a wealth of options when it comes to finding the most suitable car seat for your little one. Featuring a cosy baby-hugg inlay and enhanced side impact protection, the Cybex Cloud T is the best infant car seat UK. It also has a one-handed recline option and more than 12 headrest positions that can be adjusted to your child's changing body. 1. Cybex Cloud T The Cybex Cloud T car seat is the most popular choice for bringing your baby with you on your journeys from birth until they are toddlers. It's the latest addition to the iconic Cybex Cloud range and features innovative reclining technologies that give your child a lie-flat ergonomic position in the car, or when used with a stroller as part the complete travel system. It's also an ISOFIX car seat, which means it can be attached to your vehicle by using the base that comes with it. It can even be rotated 360 degrees to assist in getting your baby in and out. The car seat is made of top quality materials, and is available in a variety of stylish colors, including Moon Black, Lava Grey and Beach Blue Plus. It's a stylish and elegant choice that goes perfectly with the Cybex T range of prams. It also comes with the Newborn Inlay, which is designed for newborns and premature infants. This helps maintain an upright position, which reduces the chance that their heads will be able to move forward during sleep, causing breathing problems. This can be removed once your child is 60 cm in height. The car seat is an excellent choice for safety, as it scored an impressive 1.7 in crash tests conducted by ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutsche Automobil-Club e.V.). The Cloud T iSize is equipped with LSP (Linear Side-impact Protection) to prevent your baby from being thrown around the seat in the event of an accident and the revolutionary Flexi-Fix harness system that stretches when your child grows, ensuring that they will always have a safe fit. If you're planning to use the car seat as part of a travel set-up with a Cybex pushchair, the unique 180deg rotation means that getting your baby in and out is a breeze – no more awkward twisting or reaching. The car seat is also equipped to fully recline to provide extra comfort during long car rides. The cost is a bit higher than other car seats in this age group, but the features it has, including the reclining feature and excellent safety features make it worth the cost. 2. Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus Maxi-Cosi's Pebble Plus is among the best newborn car seats available. It's a comfortable seat for babies and simple to use. It's suitable from birth and can be used with Maxi-Cosi's FamilyFix or EasyFix base or in conjunction with the seat belt system in your car. The car seat is also compatible with all pushchairs, including the Maxi-Cosi range, Quinny, iCandy and Bugaboo (using adapters). It comes with the Baby-Hugg infant headrest to allow for a better fit and positioning for laying and side impact protection. The Pebble Plus is a Group 0+ car seat, which means it is suitable for use with babies from birth until 12 months old (45cm to 75cm). It is in compliance with the latest i-Size regulations that require children to stay in the rear of the car for longer. It is compatible with the 2way Family base which allows you to switch between rear and forward facing in the same car and has a handy rotation feature. As with the previous version it's a comfortable seat and the new version comes with some enhancements. It features a new, better baby-hugging inlay that feels and looks great. The shoulder straps are padded and the headrest is adjustable to accommodate the growth of your baby. You can remove it at any point, if you don't want to use it again. It's heavier than other newborn carseats at 4.5kg but shouldn't be a problem when your infant is in it for most of the time. You can put it on with a handle for more comfortable transport, and it's light enough to lift in and out of rideshare cars or taxis as well. It's also a stylish seat. You can choose from a variety of colours and patterns that will suit your car. It's not the most affordable infant car seat but it's still affordable and well worth the extra cost for your baby. Once you've got the hang of it, adjusting the harness size and height is a breeze. You can adjust the straps by pulling them down on the back panel, and pressing two buttons simultaneously. 3. Joie Calmi If you're in search of a new car seat that is simple to use and holds your baby like a cot, then look no further than Joie Calmi. This car seat that doubles as a carrycot is certified R129. It's made tough with a durable ventilated exterior shell and plush padding to protect your little one. It has a three-point safety harness that is adjusted with just a single pull and softly cushioned covers. It also has the ability to lateralize your baby's head at the safest position in case of an impact. This seat's base is compatible with Joie's Aeria and Finiti pushchairs, which means you can take it off and put it back on with ease. Additionally, with the adjustable handle bars, it's also easy to move, even when your child is asleep. If you're looking to build an entire travel system, the i-Base Encore adapters allow you to connect Calmi with a Maxi-Cosi or Britax pushchair too. The design of the earlier i-Spin 360 has been improved by Joie. The model earned an excellent score in Which?'s crash tests, and a good rating from ADAC. The model we tested includes a lock to prevent you from rotating the seat too fast, ensuring that your child is rear-facing as long as possible. It also boasts a large sun canopy that's water resistant and offers 50+ UV protection and includes a mesh peekaboo window to allow you to check in without disturbing your child. If you're looking for a car seat online, ensure you pick a retailer which offers free UK mainland delivery on all purchases and returns within 35 days. John Lewis has a great range of newborn car seat s from top brands, including Cybex, Maxi-Cosi and Silver Cross, and provides free click and collect to your local store (or to a Sainsbury's branch if you live close to one). On all purchases you can also earn Nectar points. Argos also has a wide range of car seats at prices starting from PS55. You can also avail free delivery, same-day collection in-store and free returns to any Argos or Sainsbury's retailer that is a participating one. 4. Silver Cross Motion All Size 360 The trusted British brand is best known for its high-end prams as well as pushchairs, but the Silver Cross Motion all-in-one car seat is making a name for itself. Our tester Jasper loved it, describing it “the most attractive of the bunch, and the one my daughter seemed to be most comfortable in on long rides.” This fully rotating R129 compliant car seat is suitable for babies all the way to 12 years old. It was awarded the ADAC 2022 Autumn Test's award for the most effective baby, toddler and child car seat. It's also been tested above and beyond regulations to ensure that your child's safety during every trip. For babies, it has a removable and cosy cushioned insert made of soft bamboo fabric that's comfortable and breathable. It's also antibacterial. The head and body inserts as well as the support can be removed when your child gets older. You can also adjust the position of the headrest and recline to accommodate. The green light that indicates when the car seat has been properly installed and is ready for use is an exclusive feature. This makes it a perfect choice for parents who may not be familiar with the correct installation and fitting of car seats. It also comes with a strap that can be used either in a forward-facing or rear-facing position. Another major selling point is that it's a constant fixture in the car and you don't need to wake up your sleeping newborn to get out for longer journeys. However, it isn't travel system-compatible like the Joie I-Spin 360 iSize or Britax Romer Dualfix Plus i-Size (you need to buy an additional travel bag to do this). The downside to permanent fixed car seats such as the Axkid One i-size is that they're not as convenient to carry around if you have to move them between vehicles. If you do choose to buy a separate travel bag for your car seat, ensure that it's a durable one that is able to withstand the wear and tear of frequent use. It's worth paying a little extra for a bag that will last as long as your child's car seat does.
