Maxi-Cosi Marble Baby Car Seat, Near Lie Flat Reclining Baby Seat with ISOFIX Base, Group 0+, i-Size, 40-85 cm (from Birth to approx 15 months), Essential Graphite

Product Information

While most car seats in the 0+ age category can only be used until 12 to 15 months of age, this car seat is suitable up to the age of 18 to 24 months, offering more usage in the long run. Plus, it has a nifty swivel function, allowing you to get your child out of the car with ease. A lie-flat model is the best type of car seat for a newborn to travel in, meaning that your child can spend longer in their car seat with minimum risk to their health or development. Experts have long recommended that lying flat is the best position for small babies to sleep in. It’s crucial for your baby’s body growth and brain development that they can move, stretch, and exercise their arms and legs. Carrycots and prams that provide this position on the move have long been the preferred option for newborn babies. And now, with Jade, parents have the extra flexibility of using the Jade carrycot as a full lie-flat option too.

If you’re looking for a spacious lie-flat car seat for your newborn that works just as well as a carrycot – and therefore has no time limit for longer car journeys (when used with a Jané mattress, sold separately) - then the award-winning Jané Matrix 2 is a good choice.User-friendly features: Look for a car seat with convenient features like an adjustable harness, one-handed recline adjustment and simple installation instructions. Ultimately, whether you need a lie-flat car seat depends on your specific circumstances. If you go on extended car trips with your newborn or prefer the added reassurance of a more natural sleeping position, a lie-flat car seat could be a valuable investment. However, for shorter journeys, a traditional upright car seat that complies with safety regulations may suffice. What age do babies not need to lie flat? In addition, the load leg enhances stability by reducing forward rotation, and the TriProtect headrest (consisting of three layers of special materials that absorb energy during a crash) has seven adjustable heights to ensure your child fits securely as they grow. The ‘Good’ ADAC rating also highlights how simple it is to adjust the height of the harness straps with a central adjuster button.

The Nuna Arra Next is also the only car seat on our list to hold the prestigious GREENGUARD Gold Certification, signifying its adherence to the strictest third-party chemical emissions standards. In a nutshell, this guarantees your child's safety without compromising indoor air quality.Testing for frontal collisions is performed at a velocity of 50km/h, while rear-impact collision tests are carried out at 30km/h

EcoCare fabrics are produced without the use of hazardous chemicals, meaning that babies' skin is not exposed to any potential risks. Universal compatibility: i-Size seats are designed to fit in all i-Size-approved vehicles, enhancing compatibility across different car models. According to the NHS, i-Size is a European car seat safety standard under ECE R129 that aims to replace the older R44/04 regulation with stricter safety standards in time. However, currently both are available to buy and legal to use in the UK. Built to the highest safety standards, Pebble 360 Pro features Maxi-Cosi’s integrated G-CELL Side Impact Protection to ensure the safety of your child.

The Maxi Cosi doesn't have a lie flat feature, but with the newborn inserts it is almost a completely flat surface for the baby, which is nice. None of these car seats are lie flat enough to replace a carrycot, but the recline on the Cybex is nice for things like shopping, doctors, or bringing the baby into the house to finish a nap. Britax has a sliding system inside the seat itself which means when it is adjusted to fit newborns it's flatter, and once you adjust it to fit older babies it's shaped more like a reclined chair. The padding: Assess the lie-flat car seat's padding and overall comfort to ensure your baby is well supported. The seat can only be installed using a base like the i-Base Encore (sold separately) via the ISOFIX connectors in your car. Although the base is sold separately, it is compatible with at least four other Joie car seats, thus offering a more longevity as your child grows. We tapped into the knowledge of industry experts, including The Lullaby Trust and NCT, and reviewed consumer champion Which?’s trusted lab test results.

Built to the highest i-Size safety standards

With its renowned reputation for producing high-quality, innovative child safety products including car seats, Dutch company Nuna is trusted for meeting the highest safety standards with its award-winning ARRA Next lie-flat car seat that boasts the latest ECE-R129 (i-Size) standard and has achieved a ‘Good’ rating from ADAC. This model has also won the notable Red Dot Product Design Award in 2020, which is only given to products that demonstrate exceptional design quality and innovation. These results were based of how long the babies were in the car seat, not the car. Therefore, if using a travel system, be aware of how long baby is in the seat for. The decision to invest in a lie-flat car seat depends on various factors, including your baby's age, the duration of your car journeys and your peace of mind. Car seats that enable your baby to sleep flat usually cater for babies up to 75cm or around 12 to 13 months old. The seat features three recline positions (including a superior full lie-flat position) which can be used in the car and attached to a stroller. The lie-flat position offers a more natural sleeping position for babies, as it helps keep their airways open and allows them to breathe more easily. When used with the rotating FamilyFix 360 Pro-slide-out base, you can effortlessly rotate and slide your child toward you. The Easy-in harness adds even more convenience, allowing you to fasten your baby in with minimum fuss. On the road, Maxi-Cosi’s integrated G-CELL Side Impact Protection provides superior safety.
