1. Cybex Cloud T

The Cybex Cloud T is the premium car seat that has everything you need to take your newborn on journeys from birth right until they reach toddler years. It's the latest addition to the renowned Cybex Cloud range and features innovative reclining technologies that allow your child a comfortable and reclining position in the car or when used with strollers as part of the complete travel system. It is also an ISOFIX vehicle seat, meaning that it is able to be easily attached to your car using the base provided. It can be rotated to assist you in helping get your baby into and out of the seat.

The car seat is constructed of top quality materials, and is available in a range of fashionable colors, including Moon Black, Lava Grey and Beach Blue Plus. It's a stylish and elegant choice that effortlessly matches the Cybex T line of prams. It also includes the Newborn Inlay for newborns and premature babies to ensure a secure, flat position that minimizes the chance of their heads flopping forward during sleep, potentially leading to breathing problems. It is removed when your child is 60 cm in height.

The car seat is a fantastic option for safety as it scored an impressive 1.7 in crash tests conducted by ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutsche Automobil-Club e.V.). The Cloud T i-Size comes equipped with LSP (Linear Side-impact protection) to protect your baby in the event of a crash. It also features the revolutionary Flexi-Fix system that can be stretched to fit your child's size as they expand.

The innovative 180deg rotating system makes it easy to get your baby in and out of the car seat when you use it as a part of a travel system that includes a Cybex stroller. There is no more awkward twisting or reaching. The car seat is also able to be fully reclined to provide extra comfort during long journeys in the car. The price is slightly higher than other car seats in this age group but the features it provides, such as the reclining feature and excellent safety features makes it well worth the cost.

2. Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus

Maxi-Cosi's Pebble Plus is one of the most popular infant car seats around. It is easy to use and comfortable for infants. It's suitable from birth and can be used with the Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix or EasyFix base or with the seat belt system in your car. The car seat is also compatible with most pushchairs including the Maxi-Cosi range, Quinny, iCandy and Bugaboo (using adapters). It includes the Baby-Hugg infant headrest to ensure a better fit, positioning for laying and side impact protection.

The Pebble Plus car seat is a Group 0+, which means that it is suitable for children as young as 12 months (45cm between 45cm and 75cm). It's compliant with new iSize regulations, which require that children sit in the rear for a greater length of time. It is compatible with the 2way family base that allows you to switch from rear-facing to forward-facing within the same vehicle. It also features a handy rotating feature.

It's still a comfortable seat, but the new version has some improvements. It now has a much-improved baby-hugg inlay that looks and feels super-comfy. The shoulder straps are padded and the headrest is able to be moved up and down as your baby grows. It is also possible to remove it at any time to stop using it.

It's a bit heavier at 4.5kg than some other newborn car seats, but it shouldn't pose a problem for a baby who spends the majority of the day in it. It comes with a handle to make it easier to carry, and is light enough to be lifted to and from taxis or rideshare vehicles.

It is also a stylish seat. You can pick from a variety of colors and patterns that are suitable for your car. It's not the cheapest infant car seat but it's still a reasonable price and well worth the extra cost for your baby. Once you get the hang it and adjust the size and height is a breeze. Simply pull down on the back panel, and squeeze together two buttons to adjust the height or down the straps without having to rethread them.

3. Joie Calmi

Joie Calmi is the perfect infant car seat. It's easy to use, and it is a great cot-like baby sitter. This carrycot that doubles as a car seat is R129-certified which means it's made tough with a tough air-conditioned shell and soft padding to protect your infant. It has a 3-point harness that's easily accessible with one-pull tightening and softly cushioned covers. Plus, it features lateral positioning to keep your baby's head at the safest position in case of an impact.

The seat's base is compatible with Joie Aeria and Finiti strollers, which means it's easy to pop it on and off the frame. Additionally, with the adjustable handle bars, it's also a breeze to lift even when your baby is asleep. If you're looking to create an entire travel set, the iBase Encore adapters allow you to connect your Calmi with a MaxiCosi or Britax stroller.

Joie has improved on the design of its earlier i-Spin 360, which earned an excellent score in Which?'s crash tests as well as a Good rating from ADAC. The model we tested includes an electronic lock that prevents you from rotating the seat too quickly, ensuring that your child is rear-facing for as long as is possible. It also boasts a large sun canopy that's water repellent and offers 50+ UV protection, and features a mesh peekaboo windows to allow you to look in without disturbing your child.

John Lewis offers a wide range of car seats for newborns from top brands such as Maxi-Cosi, Silver Cross and Cybex. Click and collect is free to your local branch (or Sainsbury's if you are near).

4. Silver Cross Motion All Size 360

Silver Cross Motion is a new vehicle seat that is all-in-one from the reputable British brand that is known for its high-end pushchairs and prams. Our tester Jasper loved it, calling it "the best-looking of the bunch, and the one my daughter seemed to be most comfortable on long drives."

This fully rotating R129-compliant car seat is able to carry your cheap infant car seats all the way to 12 years old, and won the best baby toddler, child and car seat in the ADAC's 2022 autumn test. It's also been tested above and beyond regulations to ensure your child will be safe on every journey.

For newborns, it features an adjustable and cozy cushioned insert made of soft bamboo fabrics that's super comfortable and breathable. It's also antibacterial. The head support and body insert can be removed as your child grows and the 3 headrest positions and recline can also be adjusted to suit.

A distinctive feature is the built-in 'green light' that lets you know that the car seat is properly secured and ready to use which makes it a fantastic option for parents who aren't familiar with the proper way to install and fit car seats. It also has a handy stowable harness which can be used in either rear or forward-facing position.

Another major selling point is that it's a constant vehicle fixture, so you don't have to wake your sleeping newborn to get them out for long trips. It's not compatible with travel systems such as the Britax Romer Dualfix plus iSize or Joie iSpin 360 iSize. You will need to purchase a separate travel bag.

The downside to permanent fixed car seats such as the Axkid One i-size is that they're not as convenient to carry around when you need to transport them between different cars. If you choose to purchase a separate travel bag pick one that is durable and can stand up to the wear and tear of regular use. It's worth paying more for a bag that will last longer than your child's car seat does.
