Car Seats

It is the law that children who are under 12 years old and less than 135cm tall are required to use a car seat when riding in most motor vehicles. But with so many different brands and models to choose from, it can be quite confusing selecting the right seat. Here at Best4Baby we have researched hundreds of car seats to bring you what we consider to be the best one at each stage.

For baby’s first year, the Britax Cosy Tot Premium infant carrier/car seat is well worth a look. And when baby has outgrown that seat we highly recommend the Maxi Cosi Priori XP, which will last your child from approximately nine months to four years. If you don’t need an infant carrier, you might also consider the Britax First Class Si, which is suitable from birth until around four years, meaning you’ll only have to buy one seat instead of two.

For older children we’ve selected the Britax Evolva 2-3 and the Graco Junior booster.
