Maxi-Cosi's Pebble Plus is among the best infant carrier car seat newborn car seats around. It is easy to use and is comfortable for infants. It's suitable for infants from birth.

It includes the Baby-Hugg infant head support for a better fit and the position of the child's head and side impact protection.

The Pebble Plus is a Group 0+ car seat, which means it is suitable for use with infants from birth to 12 months old (45cm to 75cm). It is in line with the new iSize regulations, which require that children sit in the rear for a greater length of time.

The shoulder straps are padded, and the headrest can be adjusted up or down as your baby grows. It can also be removed at any time to end using it.

It's a little heavier than some of the other infant carseats, at 4.5kg, but that isn't a problem if your baby is in it for most of the time. You can put it on with a handle for easier carrying, and it's lightweight enough to get it in and out of rideshare vehicles or taxis, too.

It's also a good-looking seat and you can select from a variety of colors and patterns to fit your car. It's not the most affordable infant car seat but it's still affordable and is worth the investment for your baby.

You can adjust the straps by pulling them down on the back panel and pressing two buttons simultaneously.

3. Joie Calmi

If you're looking for a newborn car seat that's super easy to use and cradles your baby like a cot then you should consider Joie Calmi. This carrycot that doubles as a car seat is R129-certified, which means it's built to last with a sturdy ventilated shell and plush padding to protect your baby. It features an easy 3-point harness that is reachable with a single-pull tightening device and softly padded covers. It also has lateral positioning, which keeps your baby's face in the safest possible position in the event of impact.

This seat's base is compatible with Joie's Aeria and Finiti pushchairs, meaning you can pop it off and on the frame with ease. It's easy to lift even when your baby is asleep thanks to the adjustable handle bars. If you want to create an all-in-one travel system, the iBase Encore adapters permit you to pair Calmi with a Maxi-Cosi or Britax pushchair, too.

The design of the earlier i-Spin 360 has been improved by Joie. The model was awarded an excellent score in Which?'s crash tests, and a good rating from ADAC. The latest model that we tested has a lock that prevents you from turning the seat to face forward too quickly, making sure your child stays in the rear as long as is possible.

4. Silver Cross Motion All Size 360

Silver Cross Motion is a new all-in-one vehicle seat from the trusted British brand that is renowned for its high-end prams and pushchairs. Our test subject Jasper loved it, calling it "the best-looking of the bunch and also the one my baby seat appeared to be most comfortable in on long rides."

This fully rotating R129 compliant car seat is suitable for newborns up to 12 year olds. It was awarded the ADAC 2022 Autumn Test's award for the most effective child, baby and toddler car seat. It's also been tested above and beyond regulations to ensure that your child's safety during every trip.

It includes an adjustable, comfortable padding for infants composed of soft bamboo fabrics. These bamboo fabrics are extremely comfortable and breathable, as well as antibacterial. The head and body inserts as well as the support can be removed when your child grows. You can also adjust the recline and headrest positions to fit your child's.

The 'green' light that indicates when the car seat has been properly fitted and is ready for use is an unique feature. This makes it a perfect choice for new parents, who might not be aware of the correct installation and fitting of car seats. It also comes with a handy strap that can be used in the forward or rear-facing position.

It's also permanent, so you won't need to wake your baby to get them out of the car on longer trips. However, it isn't travel system-compatible, like the Joie iSpin 360 iSize or Britax Romer Dualfix Plus i-Size (you need to buy an additional travel bag to do this).

The Axkid One is a permanently fixed car seat that is permanently fixed. They're not as easy to move between cars. If you decide to purchase an additional travel bag, choose one that is sturdy and can withstand the wear and tears of frequent use. It's worth spending a little more for a bag that can last longer than the car seat of your child.
