The law requires them to be rear-facing until your child is nine months old or 135cm tall. We recommend an iSize (also called R129) or ECE R44 approved seat that is fitted with ISOFIX and offers side impact protection.

Maxi-Cosi Pebble Pro i-Size

This Silver Cross model is worth a closer inspection if you're in the market for an iSize infant car seat that will safeguard your child from birth until when they're ready to upgrade to an adult booster.

It also has a three-level gentle recline function and a removable infant inlay. It's also iSize certified and has a high crash test score as well as being one of the top safety picks by Which? (they base their recommendations on safety, such as the ease of assembly and if it's installed correctly). It's important to keep in mind that even the most effective car seats can only provide maximum protection if they are installed properly.

Axkid One i-Size

The Axkid One i-Size is the only ISOFIX seat we've tested that can allow rear-facing children up to 23kg and 125cm (around four years old). It also has the highest maximum height for an rear-facing seat of any we've tested. It's definitely a unique feature and if you're hoping to keep your child rear-facing for as long as possible it's a good idea to consider.

The seat is solid and durable, and there is plenty of room to grow for your child's head and torso. It's designed with comfort in mind. it has a recline adjustment that is one-handed with a minimum of 12 headrest positions and soft belt padding. It's built to last and can withstand the rigors of daily use. However the button and mechanism to loosen and tighten straps are a bit fiddly. We worry that it may get stuck or break over time.

It's also light at just over 10kg, making it easy to get into and out of your car. It has a pocket to store small items on the back, and an integrated sun shade with a velcro strip. It can be easily attached to a compatible stroller which is ideal if you have to make multiple trips.

The seat slides onto the top, and it has an easy-to-use handle for lifting it out of your car.

One of the most appealing advantages of this seat is that it can slide forward and backwards across the base to adjust legroom. This means that you can adjust the legroom as your child grows, so they can still comfortably sit on their feet, even if they're quite tall. This is a great feature and it's very effective and I've found that after a bit of practice it took me 30 seconds to fit the seat and create the legroom.
