Why is a good car seat essential?
The vast majority of serious accidents involving children in cars occur because children are not seated in a car seat or are seated incorrectly in one.
A high-quality seat, correctly installed, reduces the risk of serious injury by more than 70%. According to recent ANWB and Consumers' Association studies, this percentage even rises to 90% for i-Size seats with Isofix mounting.
Europe has therefore introduced strict legal standards that are continuously being tightened.

Using the best car seat correctly contributes to peace of mind and safety during every journey, no matter how short or long.
What are the most important features of a good car seat?
Safety is paramount, but there are more features that the best car seat must have:
- Stable mounting with Isofix or i-Size base
- Rearward-facing transport up to at least 15 months
- Shock-absorbing sides and headrest
- Adjustable headrest and multiple reclining positions
- Breathable upholstery
- Swivel function for easy entry
- Washable covers and few harmful substances
How do I choose the best car seat for my child?
The perfect car seat fits your child's height, weight, and age – and in your car. The best car seat is optimally tailored to your family's individual needs. Always check the manual for both the seat and the car.
When choosing a car seat, there are several important points to consider:
- Does the seat physically fit on the back seat, also in combination with any other seats?
- Can the seat be attached with Isofix, or do you only have a seat belt?
- Does it grow with your child and is the seating position flat enough, especially for babies?
- Does the seat provide sufficient protection around the head, neck and sides?
- Is the upholstery comfortable and easy to wash?
- Does your child fit within the minimum and maximum sizes?
What are the best-tested car seats according to the ANWB and Consumers' Association?
The ANWB (Royal Dutch Touring Club) and the Consumers' Association (Consumers' Association) test dozens of car seats each year for safety, ease of use, ergonomics, and the presence of harmful substances. Their recommendations are independent and focused on maximum safety. In the 2024 ANWB Car Seat Test, for example, the following models scored 4 out of 5 stars ('good'): Cybex Cloud G i-Size (also with Base G) - Maxi-Cosi Pebble 360 Pro2 - Maxi-Cosi Mica 360 Pro - Cybex Sirona Gi i-Size.
What is the best car seat for babies and toddlers?
For the very youngest, there are special baby car seats that offer optimal protection and are adapted to their body types. The best-tested baby car seat according to the ANWB and other major tests (2024/2025): Maxi-Cosi Pebble 360 Pro2.
For toddlers, we recommend the Maxi-Cosi Mica Pro Eco i-Size : Sustainably produced, loved by parents, swivel function for easy in and out.

What are the car seats for long car rides?
For longer car rides, you want your child to be comfortable as well as safe. Look for seats with:
- Adjustable headrests and multiple reclining/sleeping positions
- Breathable material and good ventilation
- Comfortable shoulder straps and armrests with extra cushioning
Larger sides for more rest and protection during sleep
So for long rides, don't just choose safety, but also ergonomics, choice of materials and personal preference.
Which car seat is best for each age?
The best car seat is one that matches your child's height, weight, and developmental stage—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
- 0-15 months: Special infant car seat, always rear-facing. Do not transfer until the baby's head is above the edge.
- 9 months – 4 years: Toddler seat, preferably rear-facing, at least up to 105 cm.
On our car seats page you can easily filter by age.
