  Top 10: Cheapest child car seats (Article)
  Although the seat is padded, users have reported that there isn’t a huge amount of padding available, so other options might be more comfortable for longer trips. Bebe Style Group 1/2/3 Convertible Car Seat and Booster Unlike many of the other seats on this list, this one offers a little more variety in that it is possible to convert it into a simple booster seat so an older child doesn’t have to sit on the same seat they have been using since they were nine months old.

  What is i-Size and why is it important to me? (Article)
  Isofix is the international standard for the attachment points in cars. In other words those metal hooks you get in the back seats plus sometimes a top tether strap. Using Isofix is far safer than relying on seatbelts. The system is straightforward so parents are less likely to fit the seat incorrectly. Sounds silly but recent research showed that 52% of car seats fitted with a seat belt were wrongly installed.

  Review: Britax Römer Dualfix i-size (productReview)
  This is the case with many seats, though. If you don’t need to swap it between different cars on a regular basis then this is a fantastically user-friendly seat that is comfy for little ones.

  Review: Nuna REBL (productReview)
  It means visiting every child seat manufacturer - either online or in-store - to see if their seat fits your car and, if it does, it goes where you want it to. So we decided to do something about it. We built a car seat choosing tool that starts with the most important thing (well, after your child, that is): your car.

  BeSafe iZi Flex Fix i-Size The i-Size regulations have had a huge impact on the baby car seat market, and the second phase of the requirements focuses on seats aimed at older children. They were only announced in July 2017, so most seats haven’t caught up yet. The iZi Flex Fix is the first seat from Norwegian firm BeSafe to conform to the requirements.

  Review: Nuna Arra (productReview)
  Once in place, the seat feels very secure and there are no rattles or squeaks on the move, something which can't be said of all the car seats we've tested. One of our favourite features is the recline function. A button on the back of the seat allows you to recline it through three positions to almost flat.

  The new harness can be adjusted in two ways – shoulder sections move up and down the base of the seat, while the straps can be lengthened or shortened. The seat also comes with the baby-hugger newborn inlay, which is really well cushioned. As a standalone car seat, the Pebble Plus is at the upper end of the Group 0+ market, so it really depends if you plan to move onto the 2wayPearl car seat.

  It also allows you to lift the seat in and out of your car without having to secure it each time with a fiddly seat belt. The i-Gemm car seat has a Tri-Protect headrest with Intelli-Fit memory foam to provide certified side impact protection.

  Review: Cybex Pallas G i-Size (productReview)
  The Isofix connectors are simple to slide out and have the usual green indicators to show they're fitted properly. Undoing them is a doddle too, so it's easy to release the seat. The metal Isofix arms themselves are narrow - handy if you don't have those plastics guides built into your seats but rather a gap in the seat fabric. You do have to watch them if you're moving between cars though as they will easily scratch paintwork.

  Review: Cybex Anoris T i-Size (productReview)
  What is it? The Cybex Anoris T i-Size is the most advanced car seat from Cybex. It's also the first car seat on the market with an integrated full body airbag and is designed to offer 50% more protection than standard forward-facing car seats. In a crash, the airbag inflates within milliseconds, protecting the child’s head, neck and body before the force of collision reaches them.

  Review: RAC in-car harness and seat belt connector (productReview)
  There's bright orange high viz on the harness for safety when walking to and from the car as well. The seat belt connector is straight forward; one end connects to the harness and the other clicks into the seat belt of your car. The length of the seat belt is adjustable, which is useful for long journeys.

  Review: Maxi-Cosi Pebble (productReview)
  Once the arms are locked onto the Isofix loops, it’s very easy to get the leg adjusted to the right length and ensure the seat is properly seated, thanks largely to the light and beep-based system that sounds to let you know when it is properly installed. If you aren’t using Isofix then the guiding slots on the back and on the top of the seat mean that it is virtually impossible to get the seat belt in the wrong place.

  Top 10: Best car seats from Britax (Article)
  Three recline positions mean comfort for baby, and there’s a choice of five fabric colours too. Britax Eclipse With many modern car seats being so bulky it can be a real challenge to find one to fit smaller cars, but the Britax Eclipse is designed exactly for that requirement with an extra-slim base. It’s a Group 1 seat that secures with a seat belt only, but can work with a three-point or two-point lap belt found in older cars.

  Top 10: Child car seats under £100 (Article)
  Suitable for 9kg to 36kg or 9 months to 12 years, it does without Isofix mounting (the more expensive version has it) - but the Plus designation means the seat width is adjustable, making it even easier to accommodate your child as they grow. It also allows your child to switch from the integral harness to the standard seatbelt when appropriate. MyChild Isofix Car Seat Group 123 Car Seat Another seat that is designed to grow alongside your child, this MyChild has the added benefit of Isofix with a top tether for added security.

  Review: Multimac Superclub three-seater childseat (productReview)
  The Multimac allows you to fit three or four children in the back of your car. While most family cars can seat three in the back, they can’t often accommodate three child seats – which is where the problems start. So the Mulitmac is great if you’re expanding the family but don’t want to swap your car for a van with seats.

  Review: Cybex Sirona S i-Size (productReview)
  Tipping the scales at 15kg it's not the kind of seat you want to be moving between cars regularly, unless you're working on your biceps. That said, it's easy to fit. Unlike many other similar car seats, the two Isofix arms move independently of each other.

  Review: Cybex Cloud Z i-size infant carrier (productReview)
  This eases the child into the seat and avoids any unnecessary upset that is common from the awkward procedure of putting a newborn into a car seat. The Cybex harness has one of the kinder clips and its excellent design meant no injuries.

Kidz Kargo Car Seat Group 0 Kidz Kargo rate this seat as suitable for birth to 15 months or up to 13kg, and helpfully it is compatible with their Duellette 15, 21 and dual tandem pushchairs, which will be a boon for some buyers.
