Car seats from 8 months to 4 years

8 months – 4 years

— car seats suitable for babies from 8 to 12 months of age up to approximately 4 years of age. This age corresponds to weight group "1"; this age/weight category can be the only one or can be combined with other options (there are even seats for any age with weight group 0+/1/2/3).

When selecting a seat for kids in this age range, consider the following detail. For those under one year, it's crucial to install the seat rear-facing in the vehicle (refer to "Installation" for details); some experts even recommend this for children up to 1.5 - 2 years. Not every seat in the "8 months — 4 years" category allows rear-facing installation. Hence, if purchasing for a child under 1.5 years (18 months), it's highly advisable to ensure the seat allows both forward and rear-facing options. Ideally, finding a model in the "0+" weight category (age group "1 – 12 months") is recommended, as these inherently provide both installation choices.
