Baby Car Seats FAQs
What type of car seat does my child need?
The right car seat depends on your child’s age and weight. A newborn car seat is rear-facing for safety, while a toddler car seat offers more space and features like recline functions. Some Isofix car seats can grow with your child, adapting from birth to toddler years.
What is an Isofix car seat, and do I need one?
An Isofix car seat attaches securely to your car’s built-in Isofix points, reducing installation errors and providing a safer, more stable fit. Many parents prefer Isofix car seats for added convenience and peace of mind.
Do I need a car seat base?
A car seat base makes installing your newborn car seat quicker and easier, ensuring a secure fit every time. Some bases work with Isofix car seats, while others use a seatbelt installation.
What are car seat adaptors, and when would I use them?
Car seat adaptors allow you to attach a car seat to a compatible pushchair, creating a travel system. This makes it easy to move your baby from car to stroller without disturbing them.
When should I switch from a newborn car seat to a toddler car seat?
You should transition to a toddler car seat when your baby outgrows their newborn car seat, usually around 12–15 months. Look for a model that offers extended rear-facing for added safety.
