If you're planning to use the car seat as part of a travel system with a Cybex pushchair, the unique 180deg tilt means getting your baby out and in is super easy - no more awkward reaching or twisting. The car seat can also be placed in a fully reclined position for extra comfort during long car trips. The price is slightly higher than other car seats of this age group but the features it provides, such as the reclining feature as well as excellent safety features makes it well worth the cost.

The shoulder straps have been covered in padding and the headrest can be adjusted to fit your baby's growth. It is also possible to remove it at any time if you want to stop using it.

It's a bit heavier than other infant carseats, at 4.5kg but shouldn't be a problem when your child is in it for most of the time. You can use it with a handle for easier carrying, and it's lightweight enough to be able to lift it into and out of rideshare vehicles or taxis too.

It's also a nice-looking seat, and you can choose from a variety of patterns and colours to match your car.

If you're looking for a baby car seat that is simple to use and holds your baby like a cot then you should consider Joie Calmi. This dual-use carrycot and car seat is certified R129, which means it's built to last with a sturdy air-conditioned shell and soft cushioning to hold your baby. It comes with a 3-point safety harness that is adjusted with just a single pull, and softly cushioned covers.

If you're looking to build a travel system, then the iBase Encore adapters permit you to connect Calmi with a Maxi-Cosi or Britax pushchair, too.

Joie has improved on the design of its earlier i-Spin 360, which earned the highest test score in Which?'s crash tests and a Good rating from ADAC. The model we tested has a lock to prevent you from rotating the seat too quickly, ensuring that your child is rear-facing for as long as is possible.

4. Silver Cross Motion All Size 360

Silver Cross Motion is a new vehicle seat that's all-in-one from the reputable British brand, which is known for its premium pushchairs and prams. Our test subject Jasper was a fan, describing it "the most attractive of the bunch and the one that my child seemed to be most comfortable in during long journeys."

This fully rotating R129 certified car seat is suitable for babies up to 12 year olds. It won the ADAC 2022 Autumn Test's award for the most effective baby, toddler and child car seat. It's also been tested above and beyond regulations to ensure your child will be safe throughout every trip.

For babies, it has an easy-to-remove and comfortable padded insert made from soft bamboo fabrics that's super comfortable and breathable. It's also antibacterial. The body insert and head support can be removed when your child grows. You can also alter the position of the headrest and recline to fit your child's.

The 'green' light that signals when the car seat is properly fitted and is ready for use is a unique feature. This makes it an ideal choice for parents who might not be aware of the proper installation and fitting of car seats. It also has a handy harness that can be used in either a rear or forward facing position.

Another major selling point is that it's a long-lasting vehicle fixture, so you don't have to wake up your sleeping baby to take them out for long trips. It is 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 drawback to permanently fixed car seats like the Axkid One i-size is that they aren't as easy to carry around if you have to move them between vehicles. If you decide to buy an additional travel bag for your car seat, make sure it's a durable one that can keep up with the wear and tear that comes with frequent use. It's worth paying a bit more to purchase a bag that will last as long as the car seat of your child.
