The Best Car Seats Newborn
Before you buy an infant car seat for your newborn make sure you consult a certified child passenger safety technician (CPST). They can help you find the best car seat for your child.
Car seats for infants are made for babies. They can only be used in the rear-facing position. Some can be slid into strollers to make transport more convenient.
Axkid One i-Size
The Axkid One i-Size is a rear-facing car seat that is suitable from birth until age 6 (with the infant insert included in the One+). It is made of sturdy plastics and metal, as well as a sturdy base. Its headrest can be tilted by pressing a button, which gives older children more legroom. There's also a difficult side impact protection that slides to the side of the seat, but it seems to work and is easy to use.
The seat is easy to put together - there are six steps that can be explained and an anti-rotational bar that snaps into place when you fold the leg support. It's a simple procedure that should take only 30 second with practice. It's also light making it easy to move. The ISOFIX connectors easily fit into the Isofix connectors of the vehicle. There is an audio signal that tells you whether the seat is in the optimal position.
The Axkid One 2 is an upgrade to the very popular Axkid ONE and has over 150 upgrades - many are hidden inside, so you won't notice them, but they make the car seat more secure easier to use, more comfortable and more comfortable for your child. It's also the only rear-facing ISOFIX seat available with a maximum weight/height limit of 23kg and 125cm. It is i-Size Plus certified, which is the most prestigious safety standard. It has a very long backrest that allows you to keep your child rear-facing for a longer period of time. Research has proven that this is the most secure method to travel.
Cybex Cloud T
The Cybex Cloud T car seat is stylish and striking. It has a lot to offer. It is i-Size and travel system compatible. It also has an unidirectional 180deg swivel entry (when it is used with an optional Base T ISOfix base). This makes it easier to get your child into and out of the vehicle. It also features an Newborn Inlay that promotes a close-to-flat sleeping position for newborns and smaller premature babies, which is safer and lessens breathing problems. However it is possible to remove this as your baby grows. Additionally, it has Linear Side-impact Protection that can reduce up to 25% of impact forces and guides them away from your little one in the event of a crash.
The breathable fabrics and adjustable canopy ensure that your child will be able to enjoy a pleasant ride. The sophisticated air ventilation system maintains a constant temperature to ensure that your child stays cool even during long journeys.
Moreover, the XXL Sun Canopy is made from UPF50+ fabrics to provide your baby with ample UV protection. It also protects them from wind and noisy surroundings like a warm cocoon. In addition, you'll appreciate the innovative recline feature that gives your child a lie-flat position outside of the car and a close-to-flat recline inside the vehicle like a carrycot.
Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus
The Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus infant carrier is easy to use and comes with some amazing features. It's designed specifically for babies from birth to 12 months. It is a car seat for children aged 0+ that is compatible with the FamilyFix 360 base (sold separately) and has state-of-the art safety features including high-tech impact absorbing sides and topside wings to safeguard your child in the event of collision.

Nuna Pipa
The Nuna Pipa is a car seat designed by a team of Dutch designers. Their mission is to create products that are fashionable and sleek, as well as easy to use. With the Pipa seat, you can be sure that they have achieved this. This seat has won many awards, including the silver award in the Group 0+ Category at the UK's Prima Baby Awards 2014. This car seat is available in a lighter version, the Pipa Lite Lx.
Both versions come with excellent safety features and are highly-rated. The base for this seat has a load leg and rigid lower anchors that aid in keeping the seat safe during crashes. It also has an anti-rebound bar to minimize rotation and absorb the impact forces.
This car seat is also equipped with a no-rethread harness and a head support that is adjustable that makes it easy to grow with your child. It can be used from the first day and up to a maximum of 13kg. It is also GREENGUARD Gold certified, which means that it has low chemical emissions standards and is better for the environment.
While the Pipa is a great choice for many families, it might not be suitable for parents who have small babies or those who are very tall. You will need to buy a separate infant insert, as well as the stretchy crotch strap pad. The padding is light and comfortable, so it's not a big deal.
Another benefit is that the Nuna Pipa can be used without a base, which makes it ideal for taxi and rideshare parents who don't want to handle cumbersome base installation. The seat can be put in place by simply pressing the latches onto the vehicle anchors. The indicator will change green when the seat is properly installed.
