Best Baby Car Seats

For safety during car journeys, babies must be transported in a baby car seat (child seat group zero / zero plus). The shell and child are secured with belt systems for stable transport. Particularly high-quality models are designed in such a way that they can be clicked onto a travel system. In such a combination, the infant carrier for the car can be turned into a buggy or pram for the outing in a few simple steps. If safety in the car is guaranteed by the correct positioning of the car seat, you must also pay attention to the baby-friendly shape of the car seat and travel cover when making your choice.

Buying criteria for optimum quality in baby car seats

Baby car seats are equipped with a three- or a five-point harness system. The five-point system tends to be better because it holds the baby particularly securely in the seat. A seat reducer is recommended for newborns. As far as the padding is concerned, you should make sure that the cover is firm and its filling is baby-friendly soft. Models on Amazon also stand out because they are easy to take off and put on. For machine washing at 40 °C, the padding is removed from the hooks and simply reattached after drying. The side edges are equipped with an elastic drawstring and are simply slipped over the edges of the shell. Good quality is also wipeable, so you can quickly clean up small mishaps.

Search for baby car seats online according to approval number and test seal

In 2008, the legislators tightened up the test standards for baby car seats in favour of the safety of babies and children in road traffic. The description of a baby car seat must therefore include the ECE-R 44 test seal with an approval number. If you read 03 and 04 at the beginning of the number, you have found a size zero or zero plus baby car seat that meets the latest standards.
