1. Cybex Cloud T

The Cybex Cloud T car seat is the most popular choice for taking your newborn to the road from birth until they are toddlers. It's the latest update to the legendary Cybex Cloud line and features an innovative reclining system that gives your child a comfortable lie-flat position inside the car, and when used alongside a pushchair in the context of a travel system. It's also an ISOFIX vehicle seat, which means it can easily be attached to your car by using the base supplied. It can also be rotated to help you get your baby into and out of the seat.

The car seat itself is constructed of top-quality materials. It comes in a variety of trendy colors that include Moon Black, Lava Grey, Beach Blue Plus and Seashell Beige Plus. It's a stylish and sophisticated choice that effortlessly matches the Cybex T line of prams. It also comes with a Newborn Inlay for newborns and premature babies which helps to ensure a safe, near-flat position that reduces the risk of their heads moving forward during sleep, which could cause breathing difficulties. This can be removed when your child is at 60 cm in height.

The car seat is a great option for safety as it scored an impressive 1.7 in crash tests conducted by ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutsche Automobil-Club e.V.). The Cloud T i-Size is equipped with LSP (Linear Side-impact protection) to safeguard your child in the event of a collision and the innovative Flexi-Fix system that can be stretched to fit your child's size as they grow.

If you're planning to use the car seat as part of a travel set-up with a Cybex pushchair, the innovative 180deg rotation ensures that getting your baby out and in is super easy - no more awkward bending or reaching. The car seat can be set in a fully reclined posture for extra comfort during long car trips. It's somewhat higher price than other seats for this age group, but the numerous features, including the option to recline and the excellent safety features make it well worth the money.

2. Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus

The Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus car seat is among the most sought-after newborn car seats that are available. It's easy to use and is comfortable for infants. It is suitable from birth and can be used with the Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix or EasyFix base or in conjunction with the seat belt system in your car. The car seat is also compatible with most pushchairs, including the Maxi-Cosi range as well as Quinny, iCandy and Bugaboo (using adapters). It comes with the Baby-Hugg infant car seat in front seat headrest to ensure a better fit, positioning for laying and side impact protection.

The Pebble Plus car seat is classified as a Group 0+, which means that it can be used by babies as young as 12 months (45cm to 75cm). It is in compliance with the latest i-Size regulations which require children to remain in the rear for a longer period of time. It is compatible with the 2way family base, which allows you to switch between forward-facing and rear-facing within the same vehicle. It also includes a handy rotating feature.

Similar to the previous version, it's a really comfy seat and the latest edition comes with some enhancements. It now comes with a more refined baby-hugg inlay which is super comfortable and stylish. The shoulder straps are padded and the headrest can be adjusted to accommodate your baby's growing. It is also able to be removed at any time if you want to remove it.

It's a little heavier at 4.5kg than some other newborn car seats, but this shouldn't be a problem if your infant spends most of the time in it. You can put it on with a handle to make it easier carrying, and it's light enough to be able to lift it into and out of rideshare cars or taxis, too.

It is also a stylish seat. You can choose from a variety of colours and patterns that are suitable for your car. It's not the cheapest infant car seat, but it's still a great investment that is worth the cost for your child. It can be a bit difficult to adjust the harness's height and length however once you've mastered the art of it it's fine. You simply pull down on the back panel and squeeze two buttons to move up or down the straps without needing to rethread them.

3. Joie Calmi

If you're in search of a new car seat that's super easy to use and cradles your baby like a cot then you should consider Joie Calmi. This dual-use carrycot and car seat is certified R129, meaning that it's built tough with a durable air-conditioned shell and soft cushioning to hold your infant. It comes with an easy 3-point harness that is accessible with one-pull tightening and softly cushioned covers. It also features lateral positioning, which keeps your baby's face in a safest possible position in the event of an impact.

The base of this seat is compatible with Joie Aeria and Finiti strollers, which means it's easy to pop it on and off the frame. It's easy to lift even if your baby is asleep, thanks to the adjustable handle bars. If you're looking to create an entire travel set, the iBase Encore adapters will allow you to connect your Calmi together with MaxiCosi or Britax stroller.

Joie has improved the design of its previous i-Spin 360, which earned a high test score in the crash tests of Which? and an A+ rating from ADAC. The latest model that we tested has a lock that prevents you from rotating the seat too quickly, ensuring that your child stays in the rear as long as possible. It also has a huge, water-resistant sun canopy with 50+ UV protection and a mesh peekaboo that allows you to check in without disturbing your child.

4. Silver Cross Motion All Size 360

Silver Cross Motion is a new vehicle seat that is all-in-one from the reputable British brand that is renowned for its premium pushchairs and prams. Our test subject Jasper was a fan, describing it "the most stylish of the bunch and the one my baby seat appeared to be most comfortable on long drives."

This fully rotating R129 compliant car seat is suitable for babies all the way to 12 years old. It was awarded the ADAC 2022 Autumn Test's award for the best child, baby and toddler car seat. It's also been tested above and beyond regulations to ensure that your child is safe during every trip.

It comes with a removable, cozy cushioned insert for infants made of soft bamboo fabrics. These are super comfortable and breathable, as well as antibacterial. The body support and head support can be removed as your child grows and the 3 recline and 8 positions for the headrest can be adjusted to accommodate.

A distinctive feature is the built-in 'green light' that indicates when the car seat is properly secured and ready to use which makes it a fantastic choice for new parents who aren't familiar about the correct method to install and set up car seats. It also comes with a harness that can be used in either the rear or forward-facing position.

It's also permanent, so you won't have to wake your baby to get them out of the car for longer trips. It is not compatible with travel systems like the Britax Romer Dualfix plus iSize or the Joie iSpin 360 iSize. You'll need purchase an additional travel bag.

The drawback to permanent fixed car seats such as the Axkid One i-size is that they aren't as easy to carry around when you have to move them between vehicles. If you decide to buy a separate travel bag, pick one that is durable and can endure the wear and tear of frequent use. It's worth paying a little more for a bag that will last for as long as your child's car seat does.
