Our friends at CYBEX just keep getting better and better! We are so excited to announce that they recently won the Which? award for ‘Best Buy’ with the CYBEX Cloud Z i-Size car seat. After rigorous testing and meeting specific criteria the Cloud Z passed with flying colours to be awarded this prestigious award. Most ISOFIX car seats also have a support leg from the base to be fixed snugly against the car floor, ensuring the seat doesn’t tip forward. What is i-Size? The Go Beyond infant carrier can be used from birth to 85cm. Like other BeSafe seats, it has a spirit level at the top of the stability foot to let parents know when it has been installed at the correct angle.

This can make life much easier and convenient when struggling for space in the car boot, or if you simply find yourself out for longer than expected without your carrycot. For nap times or to keep small babies in a better position, there are five recline positions to choose from. With our two-year-old tester in the seat, we have used all of the positions and found the most reclined perfect while he slept. Things to look out for…We absolutely love the Cybex Sirona S. In terms of comfort, accessibility and easy access, it might just be the best toddler car seat on the market right now. passed the current law and is safe to use. However, there is still a difference between each child car The Stretch B is a seatbelt-secured seat that keeps children facing rearwards from birth to the age of seven. It’s our top scorer in this group mainly thanks to its exceptional performance in safety tests; ADAC says it presents a very low risk of injury to a child in a front or side impact, and it has passed the stringent Swedish Plus Test. As the Sirona Z remains in the car, it means moving a younger baby in and out of the seat if you go anywhere. Personally, this was alright for us as we use a separate buggy or a baby sling carrier, but it does mean you won't have the benefit of lifting a carrier car seat from a car onto a travel system, a shopping trolley or into your hallway — which could be a downside for a sleeping baby. Although, once your child is bigger than the carrier style seat, you would be lifting the child out of a car seat anyway.

A growing number of seat makers are introducing from-birth seats that provide a flat base for a baby to lie on, because this ensures their lungs aren’t compressed and they can breathe easily.

Installing it can be fiddly, though; after securing it with a seatbelt, you have to attach and tension two straps and fit a stability foot. Indicators on the foot turn green when it’s installed correctly. The One+ 2 is an extended rearward-facing seat that can be used up to the age of seven. It’s the first rearward-facing i-Size seat suitable for children up to this age, its Isofix fittings make it easier to install than seatbelt-secured alternatives. Cover is made from anti-bacterial bamboo fabric that’s thermo-regulating, keeping your toddler warm and dry It includes an innovative rotating function, not only for the second stage seat but for the infant carrier too. This is a huge breakthrough in the infant car seat industry, as it offers parents the best of both worlds. Being able to detach your baby’s seat combined with the convenience of a rotating base for easy installation in and out of the car is hugely beneficial and a key reason why Cloud Z car seat bases are so popular.
