Newborn babies should travel in a child restraint system whenever they travel in a vehicle. The CRS should be an approved seat that has been specifically designed for newborn babies. Not just any child car seat will do.
This means child car seats in Group 0 (from 0 to 9 kg), i.e., bassinets and carrycots adapted for newborn babies; child car seats in Group 0+, from 0 to 13 kg, also known as ‘maxi-cosis’; and i-Size child restraint systems, for babies from 40 to 85cm and up to approximately 15/18 months old. Take a look at our guide to choosing the right seat.
