Car Seats & Travel

What are the features to look for when buying a car seat?
At Direct4Baby, we understand that when searching for a car seat for your baby or toddler, safety is always a priority. That's why we stock some of the most established and trustworthy brands on the market, including Cybex, Maxi-Cosi, Joie and more, all of which are well-known for their wide range of easy-to-install and secure car seats. Other than safety compliance, when you're searching for a car seat, the style and model of the infant seat are one of the main things you should look for. For instance, the three main types of child seat are: rear-facing, forward-facing and convertible. Ensuring the needs of each parent and child are met, our range of infant seats boasts a whole host of various models and types. As your child reaches toddlerhood and eventually childhood, it's important to stay compliant with regulations. This may involve changing the direction of the infant seat or switching to a booster seat once they outgrow their car seat. For further information on what to look out for when buying a child seat, discover our car seat buying guide, or stay up to date on the current laws on child seats through the government website.
