R44 or i-Size car seat
Since 2013, Europe uses 2 different norms for car seats. These are ECE-R44 and i-Size. ECE-R44 car seats are divided into groups based on the weight of children. The i-Size car seats are divided based on the length of children. That's why we divided car seats based on the average length and weight of children. This way, you can easily find out which car seat is suitable for your child.
Car set per age
Birth to 1.5 years
Baby car seats are suitable for children from birth until they're 1.5 years old at most. These car seats are also known as a Maxi-Cosi or carry cot, and you can easily lift them out of the car. In addition, you can attach these seats to your stroller with the right adapters.
9 months until 4 years
When your child is too big for a baby car seat, you can switch to a toddler car seat. Depending on the model, you can use a toddler seat when your child is 9 months or 1 year old. Most children fit in a toddler car seat until they're about 4 years old.
From 4 years
When your child has outgrown their toddler car seat, you can switch to a booster seat. There are 2 types of booster seats. There are models with and without a backrest. You can use a booster seat with a backrest from when your child is 4 years old until they don't need a car seat anymore. You can use a booster seat without a backrest from about 6 years.
1 seat for all ages
Multi-age car seats are a combination of all car seats. Depending on the model, you can use these car seats from birth until your child doesn't need a car seat anymore. The first years, you can secure your child with the seat belt harness. When you convert the seat to a booster seat, you can use the seat belt.
