Best Buys.
Britax Cosy Tot Isofix
Price: £190
Score: 74%
The Best Buy Britax Cosy Tot Isofix was the first seat for newborns to use Isofix mounting system. It?s designed for babies from birth to about a year (13kg) in rearward or forward facing modes and it uses a support leg onto the car floor rather than a strap for the third mounting point. The support leg needs a flat, solid floor, so it won?t suit all cars - always refer to the manufacturer?s guidelines before buying.
It?s easy to install and offers excellent stability ? protecting children well in front and side crashes.
Britax Cosy Tot Premium
Price: £95
Score: 71%
This is the seat-belt mounted version of the rearward-facing Cosy Tot Isofix, so its shared design means it also has many of the same qualities. It?s designed for babies from birth to about a year (13kg). It offers excellent comfort and safety is good.
It has a high quality finish and it provides for your child to travel in comfort with a good-sized, well padded shell to give adequate head support and an adjustable harness to accommodate taller babies.
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix (with Easyfix base)
Price: £200
Score: 75%
A seat designed for newborns up to about a year (13kg), this has a separate heavy base, designed to be left in the car, and the removable seat which clicks into the base and can be used as a baby carrier outside the car. It can use Isofix mounts (with a support leg) or the three-point seat belt to locate the base in the car. The support leg needs a flat, solid floor, so it won?t suit all cars - always refer to the manufacturer?s guidelines before buying.
It?s easy to install with clear instructions and there are colour coded safety indicators to show it?s properly engaged in the base. Crash stability is excellent and it protects children well in front and side crashes.
