Finding the right car seat

Which car seat is right for your child?

A suitable car seat ensures your child travels safely on every car journey. Which model is right depends mainly on height, weight, age and the manufacturer's specifications. The vehicle also plays an important role in choosing the right model.

At Babyartikel.de you'll find car seats for every stage of development – from the first infant car seat to rear-facing car seats, all the way to growing car seats and booster seats. Use our categories to discover suitable models for your child and compare different features and brands.

Finding the right car seat

The requirements for a car seat change with every stage of development. The following overview will help you find the right category for your child.

Are you looking for a car seat for newborns and babies? Then you need an infant car seat
Do you need the next car seat after the infant car seat? The safest choice is a rear-facing car seat
Is your child 3-4 years old and needs a forward-facing car seat? You'll find it in the category Car Seats 15-36 kg
Are you looking for a practical car seat that grows with your child continuously after the infant car seat? You'll find these models under Car Seats 9-36 kg

Note: The age ranges given for car seats are for guidance only. The manufacturer's specifications for height and weight are always decisive.

Buying a car seat: what you should look out for

Correct size and approval: Make sure the car seat is suitable for your child's height and weight. Most current models comply with the i-Size standard (ECE R129) and are based on height in cm.
Rear-facing or forward-facing: Children must travel rear-facing until at least 15 months of age or a height of at least 76 cm. However, a rear-facing car seat allows for rear-facing travel for much longer. Safety experts recommend rear-facing travel up to the age of four to best protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.
Isofix or seat belt installation: Many car seats can be securely and easily installed in the car using the Isofix system. Alternatively, there are models that are installed using the vehicle's seat belt. Which installation method is suitable depends on the vehicle and the specific car seat.
Everyday comfort: Adjustable headrests, reclining positions or rotating seats make everyday life easier and ensure that the car seat can be used comfortably for many years.

Discover car seats from popular brands

Whether for the first car ride, the daily trip to daycare, or longer journeys – at Babyartikel you'll find car seats from popular brands for different age groups and requirements. Compare models from various manufacturers and find the car seat that suits your child and your everyday life.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about car seats

Age serves as an initial guide. However, height, weight and the manufacturer's specifications are decisive for choosing the right car seat.

As soon as your child reaches the maximum height or permitted weight of the infant car seat, or their head extends above the top edge, it's time for the next car seat.

In Germany, children need a suitable car seat until they turn 12 years old or reach a height of 150 cm, whichever comes last.

Isofix connects the car seat directly to the designated anchor points in the vehicle and makes installation easier. Many car seats can alternatively be secured using the vehicle's seat belt.
