Which is the right car seat for your baby?

Finding a car seat that is comfortable and safe for your baby makes being out and about so much easier!

It’s important to choose a seat that is right for their age, height, and needs. You can work out which type of car seat if suitable for your child with this guide:

Convertible car seat - from newborn to approximately 4 years of age
Convertible booster seat - from approx 6 months of age to 8 years of age
Unharnessed booster seat - from approx 4 to 8 years of age

What do you need to consider when buying a car seat?

Firstly, how old is your child and what is their seated height? Are you looking for a newborn car seat or one for an older child?

Next, what type of car do you have? And how many car seats do you need? If your car is smaller, or you need to install multiple seats in a row, you might like to look at our more compact and narrow seats.

Then it’s time to work out your how much you have to spend so you can stay within budget.

Then, don’t forget to consider your child’s comfort in their new seat and how it will be installed into your car.

Here are some options for you to consider so that you can make the right choice for your child:

Convertible Car Seats

A convertible car seat is a great choice for your newborn baby’s first car seat. Infants can safely rearward face and, as they grow, the seat can be converted to a forward-facing position.

This flexibility can help your budget and allow you to get a lot of value in purchasing one car seat that will last for years. It also means that as your baby gets used to sitting in their car seat, even when they are turned to face forwards, they’ll still be very comfortable in a seat they’ve grown to love.

ISOFIX Car Seats

ISOFIX car seats are simple to install and are a great option for either fixed or occasional use. They can be installed using ISOFIX anchors, that are already built into most modern cars and have an in-built indicator system to let you know if it’s correctly installed. Great for peace of mind!

Check to see that your car has ISOFIX anchors. If it doesn’t, an ISOFIX seat can still be secured with seat belts instead, as traditional seats are.

ISOFIX car seats can be easily moved between cars and are quick and easy to install. So if you’re moving one car seat between your car and another parent or carer’s car, you only need to invest in one seat. A great option for grandparents!

Convertible Booster Seats and Booster Seats

Convertible booster seats are suitable for children from approximately six months old to approximately eight years of age.

The Convertible booster seats are harnessed up to approximately four years of age.

After this time, the seat is converted into an unharnessed booster, to be used with a lap-sash seat belt until the child is approximately eight years old.

If you are looking for an unharnessed booster only for your older child, Mother’s Choice has a range of seats to choose from.

Many booster seats have special features such as supportive headrests, armrests and machine washable, removable covers - which can give you peace of mind in the event of accidents on-the-go!

The size of your child will be the main driver making this decision, as well as your family’s needs and budget.

Car Seat Accessories

As you’re making your decision on which car seat to buy, keep an eye on the accessories available that could also make your life even easier too.

For rearward-facing babies, why not install a mirror so you can keep an eye on them - and them on you!
For sunny days, window shades are a must in protecting your little one from the sun’s rays.

The Mother’s Choice range of car seats has seats to suit all budgets and needs to make traveling in the car with your child safe and fun!
