1. Cybex Cloud T

The Cybex Cloud T car seat is the premium option to take your baby along on trips from the moment they are born until they become toddlers. It's the newest addition to the iconic Cybex Cloud line and features an innovative reclining system that gives your child an ergonomic, flat position inside the car and when used with a pushchair as part of a travel system.

It's a stylish and sophisticated choice that seamlessly matches with the Cybex T line of prams. It also comes with the Newborn Inlay for newborns and premature babies that helps ensure a secure, nearly flat position that reduces the risk of their heads moving forward while they sleep, which can cause breathing problems. It can be removed once your child reaches 60 centimeters in height.

The car seat is a great option for safety, since it scored an impressive 1.7 in crash tests conducted by ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutsche Automobil-Club e.V.). The Cloud T i-Size features LSP (Linear Side-impact Protection) to prevent your baby from being thrown around in the seat in the event of an accident and the innovative Flexi-Fix harness system that stretches when your child grows to ensure they always have a secure fit.

If you're planning to use the car seat as part of a travel system with a Cybex pushchair, the unique 180deg rotation means that getting your baby in and out is easy. No more awkward reaching or twisting. The car seat can be set in a fully reclined posture to provide extra comfort on long car trips. The cost is a bit higher than other car seats in this age, but the features it offers including the reclining feature as well as excellent safety features make it worth the cost.

2. Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus

The Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus car seat is among the most popular newborn car seats that are available. It's comfortable for babies and simple to use. It's suitable from birth and can be used with Maxi-Cosi's FamilyFix or Nania DREAM Easyfix Car Seat Group 3 base or in conjunction with your car's seat belt system. The car seat is compatible with all pushchairs, including the Maxi Cosi range, Quinny, iCandy, and Bugaboo with adapters. The Baby-Hugg infant support is included to ensure the best fit, better laying in a position that is more comfortable, and provides side impact protection.

The Pebble Plus car seat is classified as a Group 0+ that means it can be used by children as young as 12 months (45cm to 75cm). It is in line with the new iSize regulations that require that children remain rear-facing for a greater length of time. It is compatible with the 2way Family base that allows you to switch between forward and rear facing on the same car and comes with a handy rotation feature.

It's still a comfortable seat, but the new version has some improvements. It now has a much-improved baby-hugg inlay that is super comfortable and stylish. The shoulder straps are padded and the headrest has been made adjustable to accommodate your baby's growing. You can remove it at any point, when you do not want to use it again.

It's a little heavier at 4.5kg than some other infant carseats, however this shouldn't be a problem when your baby spends the majority of the day in it. It can be used with a handle to make it easier carrying, and it's lightweight enough to be able to lift it into and out of rideshare cars or taxis too.

It's also a nice-looking seat, and you can choose from a wide selection of colours and patterns to match your car. It's not the most affordable infant car seat, but it's still very reasonable and well worth the extra cost for your baby. It can be difficult to adjust the harness length and height however once you've mastered the art of it, it's easy. You can adjust the straps by pulling them down on the back panel, and pressing two buttons at the same time.

If you're looking for a newborn car seat that is easy to use and cradles your baby like a cot, then you should consider Joie Calmi. This carrycot that doubles as a car seat is R129-certified which means it's made tough with a durable ventilated shell and a plush cushioning to hold your baby. It has three-point harnesses that are easily accessible with one-pull tightening and softly cushioned covers. It also has an lateral position to keep your baby's head in the safest position in case of an impact.

It's easy to lift even if your baby is asleep, thanks to the adjustable handle bars. If you're looking to create a travel set, iBase Encore adapters allow you to connect your Calmi with a MaxiCosi or Britax stroller.

Joie has improved the design of its previous i-Spin 360, which earned the highest test score in Which?'s crash tests and a good rating from ADAC. The most recent model, which we tested, features a lock that will stop you from turning the seat too quickly, ensuring that your child stays in the rear as long as possible.
