So what is the best baby car seat for your child? As with everything in life much of the choice is down to you but there are a number of important factors that you should look for:

Which is the safest baby car seat? It must meet national safety standards. A car seat is perhaps the most important item of equipment you will buy for your child. It could literally mean the difference between life and death.

How easy is the baby car seat to adjust and install in your car? This is especially important if you need to move the seat between different cars of a regular basis. Some seats designs are more awkward that other and you need to take this into account.

Size of the seat does it fit. Some seats just do not fit neatly into some makes of cars. The shape of the car seat and the baby seat may not be compatible which means that the baby seat cannot be securely fitted.

Colour obviously not a safety consideration but make sure you new seat colour and pattern is appropriate to your car.

Whatever you do always get the retailer to fit the baby seat car and test it. Always try fitting it yourself too before buying. If buying online you can visit your local store to get a test fitting, then buy it cheaper on the internet! Some top manufacturers of baby cars seats include Mamas and Papas and Britax.
