Product Information

Older seats may not comply with the latest safety regulations, or have gone through updated safety tests, or might be missing the instruction booklet that tells you how to install and adjust the seat safely. What should you do with your old car seat? i-Size/R129 seats are based on a child's height (instead of weight). The new seats don't replace the weight-based seats at the moment, they just give you an alternative. Models we've tested include the Maxi-Cosi Jade + 3wayFix, Joie i-Level, Jane iMatrix + iPlatform and Britax Romer Baby-Safe2 i-Size.

We'll cover everything from UK car seat laws, and the differences between height and weight-based car seats, to whether you can use them in a taxi, minicab or Uber. Car seat and booster seat laws in the UK state that beyond 15 months of age, a child may begin using a front-facing car seat. Children who are 135 centimetres or less, or children who are under 12 (whichever comes first) will also require use of a car or booster seat. Some car seats have a mechanism to stop them being turned forward-facing too early, but others don't. If there is no way to stop the seat being turned to face forwards too early, it lost marks in our tests because of the potential for misuse. Distribute the forces of a crash over the strongest parts of the body, with minimum damage to the soft tissue and organs.

Extended rear-facing car seats, that let you keep your child rear-facing until the age of four/18kg/105cm, are becoming more common, and crash tests show they're much safer. Children are too small to position the adult belt over their shoulders and pelvis correctly, and their bones aren't strong enough to absorb the energy of a crash without affecting their internal organs. As babies' bodies are in the early stages of development, they need protection based on specific physical traits: However, safety experts, including Which?, recommend that you use a child car seat for all children under 150cm/4ft 11in. This is the legal requirement in Ireland and some other European countries, such as Germany and France. Buying the wrong one could mean you're putting your child's life at risk, while also breaking the law.
