The Best Newborn Car Seat

When looking for a car seat for your newborn baby you want to make sure it is safe, easy to use and adaptable should you wish to incorporate it as a travel system.

After much research I felt satisfied that our decision to purchase the Britax Baby-Safe Plus SHR II Infant Carrierwith the Britax BabySafe ISOFIX Basewas the right one. This is a safe, robust and flexible car seat.

This Group 0+ best newborn car seat is suitable from birth to approximately 12 months (birth to 13 kg).

The Britax Baby-Safe Plus SHR II Infant Carrieris just as easy to use with a 3-point seatbelt (which came in handy for taxi rides) or with the Britax Baby-Safe ISOFIX Base which we leave fixed in our car for ease of quickly fixing the car seat in and out.

The Britax Baby-Safe Plus SHR II Infant Carrierhas integrated adaptors which can be used to attach it onto the Britax B-Smart 3 Pushchairor the Britax B-Smart 4 Pushchairwhich is suitable from birth. The click and go system provides an easy release button, making this a very versatile travel system.
