In the modern world, car rides are a big part of our lives, and our children’s lives too. Whether it’s a family day out, visiting friends and relatives, or even heading on holiday, it’s inevitable that you and your kiddo will hit the road together at some point. And when you do, it’s important that you follow the UK car seat laws and regulations.
Here at Kiddies Kingdom, we offer car seats for different age groups, so your munchkin will always have a car seat that fits perfectly. Group 1 car seats are suitable for children weighing 9 kg to 18 kg, so approximately those between nine months and four years old. However, group 0+/1 and group 1 car seats have a slight crossover when it comes to their weight recommendations, as group 0+ child seat last until your child reaches 13 kg. So, the only time you should move your bub to a group 1 car seat is if they outgrow their carrier by height. For children that are teenier and tinier, group 0 car seats are recommended whilst group 2 and 3 car seats are available for our not so little ones.
Once you’ve found the perfect group 1 car seat, don’t forget to jazz it up with our car seat accessories like rain covers and head support pillows so that you’re prepared for every journey.
Car seats for children between 9 months and 4 years offer increased functionality and an enhanced experience for young children as they benefit all ages. They can seamlessly be moved from forward to rear-facing, allowing full support for children at different growth phases.
Another unique feature is that these car seats often boast adjustable padding and side-impact protection. These features offer complete support in case of an accident and ensure a child's posture is kept in the correct position for the duration of travel. Overall, car seats for children between 9 months and 4 years are essential for ensuring safety while travelling in a vehicle.
When choosing a car seat within this category, you will find that they either come in designs ideal for just the specified age range or in more versatile options. Typically, 9m to 4 year car seats are ideal for group 1 users.
If you are looking for a certain design, brand or model, you will be thrilled that these car seats come in many forms. The product's versatility means car seats often have a sleek and compact finish created with ergonomics in mind.
Whether you want a timeless black product or a trendy sage-green item, you can find a design to suit your preference.
UK law states that car seats must be rear-facing until a child is 15 months of age. Babies should rear-face in car seats because it is the safest position to reduce collision risk and support their bodies while in the most vulnerable phases of growth.
Even though it’s only legal to keep a baby rear-facing until they are 15 months old, it is recommended that babies remain in a rear-facing car seat for as long as possible.
How you install a car seat will be determined by the actual design. You can check the manufacturer's instructions to help you both install a seat and change the functionality for when the child grows.
Still having issues? There is no need to panic as you are on hand if you need further help or advice. The best way to benefit from this is by booking an appointment with a knowledgeable team member.
Even though these car seats last up to 4 years, you will still need to adjust. If you notice features not aligning, such as the position of the headrest or harnesses meeting in the right place, you should adjust. Furthermore, you should always be aware of the child's height or weight, as that will also require changes to the seat configuration.
