How we test baby car seats

经过劳拉·韦斯特曼（Laura Westerman）| Last updated May 26, 2021

After lots of research, we handpicked 14 of the best car seats on the market to put to the test, collating the models most frequently searched for and most highly rated both on Mumsnet and across the web.<\/p>"},{"meta_id":108486,"post_id":7583,"meta_key":"body_review_body","meta_value":"a:8:{i:0;s:7:\"content\";i:1;s:3:\"mpu\";i:2;s:7:\"content\";i:3;s:5:\"image\";i:4;s:7:\"content\";i:5;s:3:\"mpu\";i:6;s:7:\"content\";i:7;s:6:\"button\";}","value":["content","mpu","content","image","content","mpu","content","button"]},{"meta_id":108490,"post_id":7583,"meta_key":"body_review_body_0_content","meta_value":"

When you pick a car seat for that first trip home with your newborn, you want to be sure that it\u2019s both comfy and safe.<\/p>

There are so many baby car seats<\/a> to choose from, and sometimes such conflicting advice, that you may well feel confused.<\/p>

To make sure that you\u2019re as confident as possible when choosing the right one for you and your baby, we commissioned Alison Williams to research and write about infant car seats.<\/p>

To make sure that you\u2019re as confident as possible when choosing the right one for you and your baby, we commissioned Alison Williams to research and write about infant car seats.<\/p>

Which baby car seats did we test?<\/h2>
As well as looking at the current market, Alison spent time talking to experts \u2013 including Jan James, Chief Executive from Good Egg Car Safety<\/a>, Nick Lloyd, Acting Head of Road Safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents<\/a> (RoSPA) and Margaret Bolt, founder of Rear Facing Toddlers<\/a> \u2013 and listening to parents.<\/p>
Over approximately 30 hours of research, she looked at the safety tests that each car seat was put through, the standards they had to meet, and the pricing for all types of budgets.<\/p>
She also looked at the seats rated highly on the Mumsnet Talk boards<\/a>, on other online forums and in other product reviews, before creating a longlist of 25 top-performing seats.<\/p>
This list was then narrowed down to 14, all of which were put to the test over the course of four months.<\/p>
Here's the full list:<\/p>
Maxi-Cosi Rock<\/a> (\u00a3121 from Amazon<\/a>)<\/li>
Mothercare Ziba<\/a><\/li>
Britax R\u00f6mer Dualfix i-Size<\/a> (\u00a3350 from Amazon<\/a>)<\/li>
Joie i-Spin 360<\/a> (\u00a3350 from Amazon<\/a>)<\/li>
Cozy N Safe Arthur<\/a> (From \u00a3140 from Amazon<\/a>)<\/li>
BeSafe iZi Go Modular<\/li>
Hauck Comfort Fix (\u00a390 from Amazon<\/a>)<\/li>
Joie i-Level (\u00a3200 from Halfords<\/a>)<\/li>
Nuna Rebl Plus (\u00a3299 from Kiddies Kingdom<\/a>)<\/li>
Kiddy Evoluna i-Size 2 (\u00a3299 from Amazon<\/a>)<\/li>
Cybex Aton M i-Size (\u00a3159.95 from Amazon<\/a>)<\/li>
Graco SnugRide 0+<\/li>

Graco Slimfit 0+\/1\/2\/3 (from \u00a3129 on Amazon<\/a>)<\/li><\/ol>
In the end, five car seats triumphed: the Joie i-Spin 360 (Best All-Round Car Seat 2019), the Britax Dualfix i-Size (Best Extended Rear-Facing Car Seat 2019), the Maxi-Cosi Rock (Best for Versatility 2019 \u2013 Birth to 12 Months), the Mothercare Ziba (Best Value Car Seat 2019 \u2013 Birth to 12 Months) and the Cozy N Safe Arthur (Best Car Seat from Birth to 12 Years 2019).<\/p>
We think that these are the top baby car seats for most parents and awarded each a Mumsnet Best Baby Car Seat award.<\/p>
Read our car seats buyer's guide<\/a>, written with the help of Good Egg Car Safety, for more information on what to look for when buying a car seat for your newborn.<\/p>
Who tested the car seats?<\/h2>
Alison partnered with parent tester Sam, mum to newborn twins \u2013 who were five months old at the start of testing \u2013 and a seven-year-old.<\/p>
Each car seat was tested in Sam's Citroen C3 Picasso Exclusive with the exception of the Britax R\u00f6mer Dualfix i-Size, which was tested in her sister\u2019s Citroen C4.<\/p>
While it would, of course, be quicker and cheaper to send each product out to a different tester, we believe that consistent scoring and like-for-like comparisons are crucial.<\/p>
The car seats were also all tested following the same criteria before given a final score:<\/p>
Safety and stability<\/li>
Assembly<\/li>
Day-to-day use<\/li>
Aesthetics<\/li>
Cleanliness<\/li>
Value for money<\/li><\/ul>
No extras were purchased or tested.<\/p>
How did we test for assembly, and safety and stability?<\/h2>
First of all, we checked that each seat came with all the parts necessary and that the instructions were clear and easy to follow. We also checked whether there were helplines or online videos available if there were any issues with fitting or if our tester had any questions.<\/p>
We analysed what tests the seats had passed and, crucially, how easy each seat was to attach and detach in addition to how useful and effective the designated fixing systems (seatbelt or ISOFIX) were in order to avoid making any dangerous mistakes.<\/p>
We also put them through their paces for ease of getting a child in and out of the car, adjusting straps and padding, switching from rear- to front-facing and reclining where possible.<\/p>
If you\u2019re in a hurry, running late or tired and stressed, then you need to feel completely confident that your baby\u2019s seat is fitted in the car correctly, and that your baby is also correctly positioned and strapped in properly. Any ambiguous instructions, or any potential room for error, was noted.<\/p>
We analysed the materials used for durability as well as looks, studying everything from padding to the straps, and we thoroughly checked out the safety features of each, looking for five-point harnesses that couldn\u2019t be clicked open by small fingers.<\/p>
How did we test for comfort?<\/h2>
We made sure that the baby was comfortable, that there were no parts that could rub or cause irritation, and that all fittings were baby-proof, with no chance of parts being removed or buckles and belts being undone by the child in the seat or others sitting with them.<\/p>
When you have a newborn, it may seem silly to worry about little hands undoing buckles, but babies develop very quickly and the seat needs to be appropriate both for a tiny baby a few days old and an inquisitive nine-month-old.<\/p>
We noted if there was anything that was distracting about the seat when driving \u2013 did the seat obscure your view? Were the colours too \u2018jazzy\u2019 or bright?<\/p>","value":"

How were the car seats tested in day-to-day life?<\/h2>
We then tested how quick and easy it was to get the little one in and out of the seat (timing the whole process), if they were able to fall asleep comfortably if they usually did so in a car, if the seat was able to accommodate them when removed from the car if still sleeping, and if they seemed happy in the seat. We also evaluated if the seat was easily adjustable to grow with your child.<\/p>
We took the seats on busy school runs, shopping trips, longer journeys and quick trips out throughout the day, observing how happy and comfortable the baby was and how convenient the seat was to get in and out of the car if necessary.<\/p>
How did we test for design and cleaning?<\/h2>
We also looked at whether the seat was easy to clean \u2013 spilling milk and juice on the seat and washing and drying the cover. This may seem like a small concern, but if you\u2019re using the seat everyday, then you need to be able to remove, wash and dry the cover quickly, otherwise the seat is out of action.<\/p>
Finally, we looked at the aesthetics of the seat \u2013 we agree that this is possibly the least important aspect to consider, but it may be a factor if you have narrowed down your list to two or three seats.<\/p>
What about value for money?<\/h2>
Taking all these things into consideration, we looked at price and evaluated whether each car seat was good value for money.<\/p>
Using all the above criteria, we then decided which car seat was the best overall, and which others deserved honourable mentions.<\/p>

当您与新生儿一起选择第一次旅行的汽车座椅时，您要确保它既舒适又安全。

There are so many婴儿汽车座椅to choose from, and sometimes such conflicting advice, that you may well feel confused.

To make sure that you’re as confident as possible when choosing the right one for you and your baby, we commissioned Alison Williams to research and write about infant car seats.

艾莉森（Alison）是两个成年子女的妈妈，并且经历了育儿之旅的每个阶段。作为一名记者，她撰写了有关各种育儿主题的文章。

Which baby car seats did we test?

除了查看当前市场外，艾莉森还花了一些时间与专家交谈 - 包括Good Egg Car Safety, Nick Lloyd, Acting Head of Road Safety at theRoyal Society for the Prevention of Accidents（Rospa）和玛格丽特·博尔特（Margaret Bolt）后面的幼儿- 听父母。

Over approximately 30 hours of research, she looked at the safety tests that each car seat was put through, the standards they had to meet, and the pricing for all types of budgets.

她还看着评分很高的座位妈妈Talk boards在其他在线论坛和其他产品评论中，在创建了25个表现最佳席位的长名单之前。

This list was then narrowed down to 14, all of which were put to the test over the course of four months.

Here's the full list:

Maxi-Cosi Rock（（£121 from Amazon）
Mothercare Ziba
BritaxRömerdualfix i-size（（£350 from Amazon）
Joie I-Spin 360（（£350 from Amazon）
Cozy N Safe Arthur（（From £140 from Amazon）
BeSafe iZi Go Modular
Hauck Comfort修复（£90 from Amazon）
joie i-level（£200 from Halfords）
Nuna Rebl Plus（£299 from Kiddies Kingdom）
Kiddy Evoluna i-Size 2 (亚马逊的£299）
Cybex Aton M i-Size (£159.95 from Amazon）
Graco Snugride 0+
graco snugride i-size（£239 from Amazon）
Graco Slimfit 0+/1/2/3 (亚马逊上的129英镑起）

In the end, five car seats triumphed: the Joie i-Spin 360 (Best All-Round Car Seat 2019), the Britax Dualfix i-Size (Best Extended Rear-Facing Car Seat 2019), the Maxi-Cosi Rock (Best for Versatility 2019 – Birth to 12 Months), the Mothercare Ziba (Best Value Car Seat 2019 – Birth to 12 Months) and the Cozy N Safe Arthur (Best Car Seat from Birth to 12 Years 2019).

我们认为，这些是大多数父母的顶级婴儿汽车座椅，并授予每一个最佳婴儿汽车座椅奖。

Who tested the car seats?

艾莉森（Alison）与家长测试师山姆（Sam）合作，妈妈和新生双胞胎（Newborn Twins）（在测试开始时已经五个月大）和一名七岁的孩子。

除BritaxRömerDiulfixI-Size外，在Sam的Citroen C3 Picasso独家中都对每个汽车座椅进行了测试，该座椅是在姐姐的雪铁龙C4中进行了测试的。

While it would, of course, be quicker and cheaper to send each product out to a different tester, we believe that consistent scoring and like-for-like comparisons are crucial.

在给出最终分数之前，还按照相同的标准对汽车座椅进行了测试：

Safety and stability
Assembly
Day-to-day use
Aesthetics
Cleanliness
物有所值

No extras were purchased or tested.

我们如何测试组装以及安全性和稳定性？

First of all, we checked that each seat came with all the parts necessary and that the instructions were clear and easy to follow. We also checked whether there were helplines or online videos available if there were any issues with fitting or if our tester had any questions.

我们分析了座椅已经过去的测试，至关重要的是，除了指定的固定系统（安全带或ISOFIX）的有用和有效性之外，每个座椅都非常容易连接和分离，以避免犯任何危险的错误。

我们还将它们放在他们的步调上，以便于让孩子进出汽车，调整皮带和填充，从后方到前部切换，并在可能的情况下倾斜。

If you’re in a hurry, running late or tired and stressed, then you need to feel completely confident that your baby’s seat is fitted in the car correctly, and that your baby is also correctly positioned and strapped in properly. Any ambiguous instructions, or any potential room for error, was noted.

我们分析了用于耐用性和外观的材料，研究了从填充到皮带的所有内容，并彻底检查了每个人的安全功能，寻找五点线束，这些线束无法用小手指打开。

我们如何测试舒适感？

We made sure that the baby was comfortable, that there were no parts that could rub or cause irritation, and that all fittings were baby-proof, with no chance of parts being removed or buckles and belts being undone by the child in the seat or others sitting with them.

When you have a newborn, it may seem silly to worry about little hands undoing buckles, but babies develop very quickly and the seat needs to be appropriate both for a tiny baby a few days old and an inquisitive nine-month-old.

我们如果有任何distractin指出g about the seat when driving – did the seat obscure your view? Were the colours too ‘jazzy’ or bright?

在日常生活中如何测试汽车座椅？

然后，我们测试了将小孩子带进座位（整个过程的时间），如果座位能够在汽车中舒适地入睡，那么他们可以舒适地入睡，这是多么容易如果仍在睡觉时，将它们从汽车上移开时，如果他们在座位上似乎很高兴，请容纳他们。我们还评估了座椅是否容易调节以与您的孩子一起成长。

我们把座位忙学校的运行,购物trips, longer journeys and quick trips out throughout the day, observing how happy and comfortable the baby was and how convenient the seat was to get in and out of the car if necessary.

How did we test for design and cleaning?

我们还研究了座椅是否易于清洁 - 将牛奶和果汁洒在座椅上，并洗净盖子。这似乎是一个小问题，但是如果您每天都在使用座椅，那么您需要能够迅速去除，洗涤和干燥盖子，否则座椅会停止使用。

最后，我们研究了座位的美学 - 我们同意这可能是最不重要的方面，但是如果您将清单范围缩小到两个或三个座位，这可能是一个因素。

价值呢？

考虑到所有这些事情，我们研究了价格，并评估了每个汽车座椅是否物有所值。

然后，我们使用上述所有标准，然后决定哪个汽车座椅是最好的总体，其他哪些汽车座椅应得的荣誉提及。
