Hi everyone,
I need to buy a car seat for my 4-month-old, but I’m getting really confused by all the options out there. From what I understand, the Swedish Plus Test is considered the gold standard for safety, so I’ve been looking at seats that have passed it.
Ideally, I’d like a seat that works from around 4 months up to about 7 years, since those seem better value in the long run. I also liked the idea of a swivel seat for convenience, but I can’t seem to find any models that are both swivel and Swedish Plus tested.
I first started by looking at the Joie i-Pivot Grow which seemed perfect, but I’ve since read that “all-stage” car seats aren’t generally recommended, not sure if this is still the concencus?
So my question is — how much safer are Swedish Plus tested car seats compared to other reputable brands, if I plan to keep my child rear-facing for as long as possible?
Any advice would be really appreciated :)
