This model really is built for comfort, with a wide design, a one-handed recline setting, and no less than 12 headrest positions. For hot weather, the ‘Plus’ version of this car seat has a 3D mesh fabric that Cybex claims is six times more breathable than conventional material (Jasper could not confirm or deny this). It’s also available in five colours, including baby pink. I struggled with the idea of buying any seat that only lasts up to 15 months, but there’s a lot to be said for models designed specifically for this age group and if you’ll be using your car a lot during the newborn stage, it’s probably worth it. I tested them all the way from when Jasper was born until now, as he approaches one. I also spoke to our mums with older children to get their input. As you can see in my TikTok video above, I installed the seats myself to gauge how fiddly they were, resisting the temptation to make my fiancé do it. There was, as a result, much huffing, puffing and profanity on my part. The ones which have highlighted safety issues are now labelled as 'Don’t Buy' and have a safety alert attached to them. We absolutely loved this car seat for a multitude of reasons, not least the huge range of lively prints it comes in (we went for the Paloma Faith-designed tiger fabric), and the excellent value for money. Suitable from birth all the way up to 12 years, it could have won several categories, but particularly stands out as one you can use as a booster seat for older kids.

I’ve just tested the best baby monitors, too.Our tests are respected for being extremely thorough and tougher than the legal minimum regulations.
Its built-in swivel base also enables 360-degree rotation, making it simple to switch from rear to front facing and for getting your child in and out of the car. Also noteworthy is its unique anti-escape harness system, which makes it nigh impossible for toddlers to wriggle out of. With deep side wing panels, four recline levels and several layers of plush energy-absorbing (in case of a collison) cushions which you remove as your child gets older, it appeared to be super comfortable for Jasper as well as extra safe. It’s actually crash-tested beyond the standard R129 requirements.
What is ISOFIX?
From September 2023, retailers in the EU and Northern Ireland will no longer be able to sell R44 car seats. At the moment, there is no agreed end date to R44 sales in the rest of the UK. What is a group 1, 2 or 3 car seat?
