Before purchasing an infant car seat for your infant ensure that you consult a certified child passenger safety technician (CPST). They can assist you in selecting the most appropriate car seat for your infant.

Car seats for infants are specifically designed for babies and can only be used in the rear. Some can be slid into strollers to make transportation simpler.

Axkid One i-Size

The Axkid One i-Size is a rear-facing car seat that can be used from birth until age 6 (with the newborn insert in the One+). It is constructed of tough plastics and metal with a solid base. The headrest can be adjusted by pressing a single button. This allows older children to have more leg space. There's also a awkward side impact protector that slides on to the side of the seat, however it seems to work and is simple to use.

The seat is simple to install with the help of 6 easy steps and an anti-rotation bar that clicks into place when you fold the support leg down - it's a very quick process that will take about 30 seconds with practice. It is also lightweight, making it easier to manage. The ISOFIX connectors are easily incorporated into the Isofix connectors of the car and there is an audio signal that lets you know whether the seat is in a proper position.

The Axkid One 2 is an upgrade to the very popular Axkid ONE and has over 150 improvements - most of them hidden on the inside, so you won't notice them, but they will make the car seat safer, smoother to use and more comfortable for your child. It is the only rear-facing ISOFIX car seat with a weight/height limit of 23kg/125cm. It's i-Size Plus approved which is the highest standard of safety testing. It comes with a long backrest which allows you to keep the child facing forward for longer. Research shows that this is the most secure way to travel.

Cybex Cloud T

The Cybex Cloud T car seat is stylish and striking. It has a lot to offer. It is compatible with i-Size and the travel system. It also features an unidirectional 180deg swivel entry (when coupled with an optional Base T ISOfix base). This makes it easier to take your child in and out of the vehicle. It also comes with an Newborn Inlay which promotes a nearly flat lying position for newborns and premature babies. This is safer and reduces respiratory difficulties. However it is possible to remove this as your baby grows. Additionally, it has Linear Side-impact Protection that can reduce up to 25 percent of impact forces and steers them away from your little one in the event of a crash.

The breathable fabrics and the adjustable canopy ensure that your child will enjoy a relaxing ride. The sophisticated air ventilation system maintains a constant temperature to ensure that your child stays cool even during long journeys.

The XXL Sun Canopy also comes in a UPF50+ fabric that offers your baby ample UV protection, and protects your child from wind as well as the crowded surroundings. It's like a cozy cocoon. You'll also love the innovative recline function that allows your child to lie flat outside of the car and then recline in the vehicle.

With the Pipa It's a sure bet that they've succeeded. This car seat has won numerous awards including silver in the category Group 0+ at the UK's 2014 Prima Baby Awards. This car seat is also available in a lighter model called the Pipa Lite Lx.

This car seat also features an adjustable head support that can be adjusted, as well as harnesses that do not require the rethreading process. It is easy to grow along with your child. It can be used as early as the first day, up to a maximum weight of 13kg. The seat is GREENGUARD gold certified, meaning it is low-chemical emission and is better on the environment.

While the Pipa is a great choice for many families, it might not be suitable for parents with small babies or very tall ones. It does not have an infant padding built-in, and you'll have to purchase an infant insert and the crotch buckle pad. The padding is comfortable and light, so it's not a huge problem.

Another bonus is that the Nuna Pipa can be used without a base, which makes it ideal for taxi and rideshare parents who don't want to deal with difficult base installation.
