Nuovita Carro

Next in our TOP is the Nuovita Carro infant carrier. It will be an excellent option for those parents who bought a Nuovita Carro Sport stroller for their baby. The cradle comes with a set of adapters that allow you to quickly install it on the stroller. This car seat can be installed rearward facing the vehicle using standard seat belts or the Isofix system, which is purchased separately. The cradle uses adjustable 3-point harnesses, which ensure a secure fit for the child and the likelihood of him slipping out of the straps is reduced to almost zero. In order for the child to be comfortable in such a car seat, it is equipped with a system for supporting the head of a newborn. There is also an anatomical pillow and a visor that protects from the sun. The advantages of Nuovita Carro also include light weight and a comfortable carrying handle with the ability to be installed in one of four positions. Well, if it gets dirty, the cover of this cradle can be removed and washed in a washing machine.

The best car seats

The best chairs for newborns include Maxi-Cosi Tinca (installed separately or on an isofix base), Maxi-Cosi Marble, as well as the Italian model Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Lounge with an i-Size base. These seats are very well adapted to the child’s structure from the first days of life and can be used from the maternity hospital onwards. Parents will appreciate their light weight, portability, ease of maintenance and impeccable safety results.

I was pleased with the high rating in the group of car seats for adult children. A number of representatives of different brands took place on the podium. These are Cybex Solution S i-Fix, Recaro Mako Elite 2 and Joie i-Traver. With different manufacturers' approaches to development and design, the seats combine a full range of the most advanced safety systems, polished finishes that harmonize with modern car interiors, and impeccable workmanship.

In the age group for children from 1 to 12 years old, the Cybex Pallas G i-Size model deserved high praise. A special feature of the seat is an innovative safety table with its own attachment to the car seat. This solution made it possible to abandon the standard car belt and position the table much better relative to the child’s body, taking into account his height and build. However, ADAC experts remind you that any child car seat, especially one with a table, requires mandatory fitting in a store before purchase.

The Britax Römer Advansafix M i-Size model was slightly inferior to Cybex. With a wide range of modern options and protection systems, some comments from experts were caused by the complex installation and heavy weight of the car seat. Ergonomics for a child are at a very high level. The third participant in this group, Recaro Tian Elite, received a “normal” rating. The model's good level of safety in impact tests was slightly reduced due to the difficulty of installing the seat and buckling the child.

After the birth of our daughter, my husband and I started thinking about purchasing a car child seat. According to Britax Römer Swingfix i-Size reviews, it inspires more confidence than the others.

We have been using the chair for quite a long time, since I have two children with a small age difference. The first child has grown up, and we have already planted the second. This is a big saving. The child seat is very light and can be installed in the car very quickly. The children do not complain, sit quietly and even manage to fall asleep. The anatomical lining is very useful for a newborn baby, because I am very worried about the correct position of the back. Overall, a good and reliable chair.

This model is popular due to its high level of reliability and successful completion of many safety tests. The chair is supplied with the Kiddy Isofix Base 2 station, which is equipped with Isofix fasteners. The chair itself is equipped with protection from the sun's rays and is quite comfortable in itself due to the wide space for the child, so you can rest assured that the child is comfortable, even if he is wearing winter clothes.

My wife and I spent a long time choosing a car seat. A very long time. But in the end, we chose the best, even though the price is a little steep. But safety comes first. In terms of quality: the plastic is very pleasant to the touch and quite strong. The upholstery fabric is generally beyond praise. However, the size of the cradle is quite large, so the car must be roomy.

Joie Traver

The Joie Traver has a high level of safety, especially in side impacts. The child car seat passed the ADAC tests quite successfully. There is an Isofix system and fastening with a standard belt. The chair is also equipped with support for children's legs, which is a big plus. However, there are some difficulties when trying to unfold the chair into a horizontal position.

SimpleParenting Doona+

A budget chair that is in demand among buyers. In addition, the car seat received the highest rating for environmental friendliness in the ADAC test.

Concord Reverso Plus

The Concord Reverso Plus scores well in the ADAC test. The chair received two “+” for environmental friendliness of materials, has a durable aluminum frame in the form of a triangle (the strongest shape available) and Isofix fastening.

The price is reasonable. Fixed it pretty quickly. It looks presentable and stylish due to eco-leather inserts and impressive sizes. The most pleasing thing is the adjustment of the straps, because due to this you can sit your child even in winter overalls. I think this is the best model for the price!
