The Best Newborn Car Seats in the UK Safety in car seats is a top concern for all parents. There are a variety of options when it comes to choosing the best newborn car seats for your child. The Cybex Cloud T offers enhanced side impact protection, as well as a baby-hugging inlay. It's the most comfortable new car seat in the UK. It also comes with a one-handed recline option and more than 12 headrest positions that adapt to your child's changing body. 1. Cybex Cloud T The Cybex Cloud T car seat is the most popular choice for taking your newborn with you on your journeys from the time they're born until toddlers. It's the most recent addition to the iconic Cybex Cloud line and features an innovative reclining system that gives your child an ergonomic lie-flat position inside the car and alongside a pushchair in the context of an overall travel system. It is also an ISOFIX vehicle seat, meaning that it can be easily affixed to your vehicle by using the base that comes with it. It can even be rotated to assist you in helping get your baby into and out of the seat. The car seat is constructed of high-quality materials, and comes in a range of fashionable colours including Moon Black, Lava Grey and Beach Blue Plus. It is a stylish and elegant option that works perfectly with the Cybex T range of prams. It also comes with the Newborn Inlay, which is specifically designed for premature infants. This helps maintain an upright position, which reduces the risk that their heads may move forward during sleep, causing breathing problems. This can be removed when your child reaches 60 cm in height. In terms of safety, the car seat offers excellent protection for your child, achieving an impressive 1.7 result in crash tests conducted by ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutsche Automobil-Club e.V). The Cloud T i-Size comes with LSP (Linear Side-impact Protection) to protect your child from being thrown out of the seat in the event of an accident and the revolutionary Flexi-Fix harness system that expands as your child grows, ensuring they are always in a secure fit. If you're planning to use the car seat as part of a travel system that includes a Cybex pushchair, the innovative 180deg tilt means getting your baby in and out is super easy – no more awkward reaching or twisting. The car seat is equipped to fully recline to provide extra comfort during long journeys in the car. It is priced at a slightly higher cost than other car seats for this age group, however the numerous features like the reclining option and the excellent safety features make it worth the money. 2. Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus The Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus Car Seat is among the most popular newborn car seats on the market. It is easy to use and comfortable for babies. It is suitable from birth and can be used with Maxi-Cosi's FamilyFix or EasyFix base or with the seat belt system in your car. The car seat is compatible with most pushchairs including the Maxi Cosi range, Quinny, iCandy, and Bugaboo with adapters. The Baby-Hugg infant support is also included to provide the best fit, better laying in a position that is more comfortable, and provides side impact protection. The Pebble Plus is a Group 0+ car seat which means it can be used with babies from birth until 12 months old (45cm to 75cm). It is compliant with the new iSize regulations, which require that children be rear-facing for longer. It is compatible with the 2way Family base that allows you to change between forward and rear facing in the same car and comes with a handy rotation feature. It's still a very comfy seat, but the new version has a few improvements. It features a new, better baby-hugging inlay that feels and looks great. Push Chairs & Prams are covered in padding and the headrest can be adjusted to accommodate your baby's growing. You can take it off at any time, in case you decide not to use it any more. It's a bit heavier than other infant carseats, at 4.5kg but isn't a problem if your infant is using it for the majority of the time. It has a handle that can make it easier to carry, and is light enough to lift into and out of taxis or rideshare vehicles. It is also a stylish seat. You can pick from many different colours and patterns that will suit your car. It's not the most affordable infant car seat, but it's still affordable and worth the extra investment for your baby. It can be tricky to adjust the harness's length and height but once you've got the hang of it, it's a breeze. You simply pull down on the back panel, and squeeze two buttons to adjust the height or down the straps without the need to rethread them. 3. Joie Calmi Joie Calmi is the perfect infant car seat for a newborn baby. It's easy to use, and cradles baby like a cot. This carrycot that doubles as a car seat is R129-certified which means it's built to last with a sturdy air-conditioned shell and soft cushioning to hold your baby. It comes with a 3-point harness that's easily accessible with one-pull tightening and softly cushioned covers. It also features lateral positioning, which keeps your baby's face in a safest possible position in the event of an impact. The base of this seat is compatible with Joie's Aeria and Finiti pushchairs, which means you can pop it off and put it back on easily. With the adjustable handles, it's easy to lift even when your baby is asleep. If you're looking to create an entire travel set, the iBase Encore adapters let you to pair Calmi with a MaxiCosi or Britax stroller. Joie has improved on the design of its previous i-Spin 360, which earned the highest test score in Which?'s crash tests and an A+ rating from ADAC. The most recent model, which we tested, features a lock that will stop you from turning the seat to face forward too quickly, making sure your child remains rear-facing for as long as is possible. It also has a huge sun canopy that is water-resistant and offers 50+ UV protection and features a mesh peekaboo windows to let you observe without disturbing your child.

Silver Cross Motion All Size 360 Silver Cross Motion is a new all-in-one vehicle seat from the trusted British brand that is renowned for its premium prams and pushchairs. Our test subject Jasper loved it, calling it “the best-looking of the bunch and also the one my daughter seemed to be most comfortable on long drives.” This fully rotating R129-compliant car seat can take your newborn all the way up to 12 years old and was awarded the top baby, toddler and child car seat award in ADAC's test for the autumn of 2022. It's also been tested over and beyond regulations to ensure your child's safety on every journey. For newborns, it features a removable and cosy padded insert made from soft bamboo fabrics that's super comfortable and breathable. It's also antibacterial. The body insert and head support can be removed as your child grows. You can also adjust the position of the headrest and recline to suit. The 'green' light that signals when the car seat is correctly installed and is ready for use is an exclusive feature. This makes it a perfect choice for parents who are new to the family, and may not be familiar with the proper installation and fitting of car seats. It also comes with a convenient stowable strap that can be used in the rear-facing or forward-facing position. Another major selling point is that it's a permanent fixture in the car and you don't need to wake up your sleeping baby to take them out for longer trips. However, it isn't travel system-compatible, like the Joie iSpin 360 iSize or Britax Romer Dualfix Plus i-Size (you have to purchase an additional travel bag for this). The Axkid One is a permanently fixed car seat that is permanently fixed. They're not as simple to transport between cars. If you do choose to purchase an additional travel bag for your car seat, be sure it's a sturdy one that can withstand the wear and tear of frequent use. It's worth paying a bit more for a bag that can last longer than the car seat of your child.
