Review: Cybex Sirona Z i-Size R (productReview)
Choosing a car seat can be a pain. It means visiting every child seat manufacturer — either online or in-store — to see if their seat fits your car and, if it does, whether it goes where you want it to. -
Review: Britax Baby-Safe (productReview)
A strange quirk of the base costing more than the actual seat. Still, it does mean that you're getting the whole package for less than £200. What's it like? The Baby-Safe may be at the cheaper end of the Group 0+ seat range but it certainly doesn't feel like a budget baby seat. -
Review: Maxi-Cosi AxissFix (productReview)
Top tether is unusual in swivelling car seats - in fact the AxissFix is the only one we've tested that has this. Most other 360 seats use a rebound bar and have an adjustable leg to prevent the seat from tipping forward in the event of an accident. -
Review: Joie Spin 360 (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. -
Review: Britax Dualfix car seat (productReview)
What is it? Britax is probably the best known name in the UK when it comes to car seats and the Dualfix is its top of the range 360 degree rotating car seat. This means it can be used as a rear facing seat from birth and then a forward facing seat from 15 months. Plus of course the real advantage is that it swivels to make getting your little one in and out much easier. -
Review: Nuna MYTI (productReview)
What is it? Nuna's car seat range isn't the biggest but that does mean it's very easy to understand. The MYTI is its Group 1/2/3 car seat that's suitable for children from 9kg right up to 36kg. That's approximately 9 months up to 12 years, so while it's not cheap at £275, it is an investment that will last you until your not so little one doesn't need a car seat any longer. -
Review: Nuna REBL Plus (productReview)
Once locked onto the Isofix mounts - which is indicated by a green mark on the clasps - you can then use the same buttons to slide the seat back to that the rebound bar is snug against the seat back. One thing to note is that it can be awkward to undo those Isofix buttons when you want to take the seat out, a trick here is to push the seat back as you undo them, making it easier to release the locked clips. -
Review: Britax Römer Kidfix III (productReview)
What is it? Britax Römer is one of the most well-known names when it comes to car seats and it has a huge range of seats - close to 50 in fact. The Kidfix III M is the latest addition to the Kidfix range of Group 2/3 cars seats, designed for children aged from around three and a half years old up to 12 (from 15kg to 36 kg). -
Review: Cybex Solution Z-Fix (productReview)
Coming out of a Group 0/+1 seat, it can be a little daunting the first time you strap your child in what feels a much less substantial seat. But our tester Eden is now almost four years old and loved the fact she had a 'big girl' seat, plus she was also a fan of the colour. -
Review: Joie Stages Isofix (productReview)
The Joie Stages Isofix is designed to be used from birth right up to around seven years old thanks to the way it converts. Being a Group 0+/1/2 seat makes it a rarity among child car seats - most only go from birth to 4 years old. It starts off as a rearward-facing seat for little ones up to 18kg, then converts into a forward facing seat for 9kg to 25kg children and can then be used as a group 2 booster. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
