The law requires that your baby be rear-facing up until the age of nine months or 135cm. We suggest choosing an i-Size (also known as R129) or an ECE R44-approved  baby seat  that comes with ISOFIX and offers side impact protection.

Other factors such as ease of installation and if it's appropriate for your vehicle are equally important, since any of the best safety features won't reach their fullest potential if they're not fitted correctly.

Axkid One i-Size

The Axkid One i-Size ISOFIX seat is the only seat we've tested that allows children to rear-face until they reach 23kg and 125cm. (roughly four years old). It has the highest maximum height for rear-facing of any seat we've tested. It's an unusual feature, and it's worth taking into consideration if you want your child to remain rear-facing as long as possible.

The seat is comfortable and robust and there's plenty of room for the torso and head of your child to expand comfortably. It's designed with comfort in mind and it has a recline adjustment that is one-handed that can be used for no less than 12 headrest positions and soft belt padding. It's designed to last and can withstand daily use. However, the button and mechanism to release and tighten straps are a bit fiddly. We're concerned that it could become stuck or break over time.

It is also relatively light at just over 10kg, so it's easy for you to lift into and out of your car. It has a pocket to keep small items in the back, and an integrated sun shade that is secured with a velcro strip. It can be clipped to a compatible stroller with ease, which is great when you have to travel on multiple occasions.

As is the norm with an i-Size car seat, the base of this seat is fitted with Isofix connectors and clicks easily into place. The seat also comes with an adjustable support foot that can be adjusted with a tiny gray button hidden on the back. It also comes with an indicator light to let you know when it is secure. The seat slides onto the top, and it comes with an easy handle that can be used to lift it up and down your car.

One of the best features about this seat is that it can slide forward and backwards across the base to adjust the legroom. This means you can adapt the legroom as your child gets taller so they can still walk on their legs even if they're tall. This is a great feature that is very effective. It took me about 30 minutes to set up the seat and adjust the legroom after a little practice.

If you're looking to purchase a car seat for your baby it is important to select one that is in line with the most recent regulations.

It's important to select a car seat that will expand with your child. A lot of parents opt for a car seat that falls in the group 1+, group 1/2/3 or group 3/4 that can be adjusted to suit the size of their child. This type of car seat is suitable from birth up to 12 years old.

Second-hand car seats aren't safe for infants. You should only purchase them if they have been professionally cleaned and inspected. Car safety experts Damon Marriott and Claire Waterhouse recommend against buying a second-hand car seat from friends or relatives, as it's difficult to determine its past. They recommend a used seat purchased from a reputable seller or eBay. It's also a good idea to verify the warranty prior to making any purchases. The warranty should cover repairs or replacements. Depending on the manufacturer, warranties can range from two to six years. The longer the warranty period is, the better. The most comprehensive warranties offer free replacement parts and repairs for the first 3 to 5 years.
