Group 0+ If you're a parent of baby or a newborn car seat, it is essential. These seats are specifically designed for babies to protect them from dangers on the road, including head injuries. They ensure that they are in the correct position. While all-stage car seat also provide protection for infants however they do not have the advanced safety features that come with infant car seats. Car seats for infants are typically rear-facing and allow babies to use the seat until 15 months of age.

The most reliable infant car seats include recline recommendations to protect the child's mind during the ride. All infant car seats must be approved under the iSize standard, and must be in compliance with European safety standards. The I-Size standard is far more advanced than R44/04, which means that cars approved to this regulation tend to have better side-impact crash tests, which is essential for infants and newborns. Additionally, iSize seats utilize more sophisticated crash test dummies from the Q-series, which gives even greater safety protection for toddlers and infants. When purchasing a new car seat, buyers should consider how frequently they will need to move it from one vehicle to the next. Those who frequently use taxis or car sharing services should look for a model with an exclusive baseless design, such as the Nuna PIPA Urbn, that allows the seat to be installed in a matter of seconds.

It is also easy to clean, which is helpful in case of spills or staining. It's important to keep in mind that your baby can outgrow a car seat for infants quite quickly. Many parents are forced to replace the seat by nine months, or earlier. Most manufacturers suggest moving on to a different car seat when your child's head is within an inch of the top of the car seat. To be marketed car seats, they must meet certain European safety standards. This includes testing rigorously during accident simulations, as well as the use of specific materials to safeguard your child from side-impact injuries. There are two standards currently in force in force – ECE R44 and R129 (known as i-Size), which is more strict and considers the weight and height when determining the classification of car seats for children.

They can also keep your child facing rearwards for a longer time. The only downside to these seats is that they can't be used with an airbag for the front-passenger which might not work for certain families.

Seats with the iSize certification are easier to install, offer better protection against side-impacts and will keep your child rear-facing longer.

It is one of the easiest installation methods due to its LATCH connectors that change color when correctly connected. It also has a convenient base that swivels to help reduce the movement of your car and an inlay that is hugging for the baby's head, neck and back to help maintain their proper posture.

It's a little more expensive than the other seats, but provides a good value and great protection.

Group 3 A group 3 infant car seat is a three-in-one seat that will last your child from birth until the booster stage.
