There is a huge number of car seats on the market so it can be difficult to decide which is the right one for you and your baby. With a range of features to choose from, it can be tricky to make a decision. The most important factor, however, is safety. With that in mind, we\u2019ll highlight 5 of the safest baby car seats available today. First, we\u2019ll look at the questions you should be asking before you buy one. Because driving is an inherently dangerous activity, you should always do your own research before buying a baby car seat.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

You should buy a baby car seat before your baby is born as the process of browsing and buying one can be quite time-consuming. As not all car seats are compatible with all cars, you need to make sure you figure it out well in advance. Unless you live within walking distance of your hospital or delivery centre, you\u2019ll need a car seat from the moment your baby is born.<\/p>\n

Any car seat you buy should meet the i-Size safety standard. This is a standard set by the EU which aims to make car seats safer and fit cars better. All of the baby car seats on our list meet this standard. If you buy one that isn\u2019t, make sure it meets this safety standard. One of the i-Size requirements is to use ISOFIX connectors, which we\u2019ll explain below. Your car must have ISOFIX connectors for you to be able to use an i-Size car seat so don\u2019t forget to check if your car has them. You can do this by looking for the Isofix labels between the base and back of the car seats or by referring to the owner’s handbook for your vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All i-Size car seats are rear-facing until the child is 15 months old. In the event of a collision, this is the safest and most secure position for a baby to be in. All of the seats on our list of the best car seats for babies are rear-facing but some of them can be turned to face forwards after your baby is 15 months old.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some car seats have ISOFIX connectors built-in but others require a base. Some car seats can also be installed using only your car\u2019s seat belt. Other than being safe, ISOFIX is extremely convenient, allowing for the click-and-go installation of your car seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
