Silver Cross Motion All Size 360 The most trusted British brand is best known for its premium prams and pushchairs however, the Silver Cross Motion all-in-one car seat is making waves in the market with its. Our tester Jasper loved it, describing it “the best-looking of the bunch and also the one that my child seemed to find most comfortable on long rides.” This fully rotating R129-compliant vehicle seat can carry your baby all the way to 12 years of age and won the top baby toddler, child and child car seat in the ADAC's autumn test in 2022. It's also been tested above and beyond regulations to ensure your child will be safe on every journey. It includes a removable, cozy cushioned insert for infants composed of soft bamboo fabrics. These bamboo fabrics are extremely breathable and antibacterial. The body support and head support can be removed as your child grows, and the 3 headrest positions and recline can also be adjusted to accommodate. A unique feature is the built-in 'green light' that signals that the car seat is properly secured and ready to use and is a great option for new parents who aren't familiar with the correct way to install and fit car seats. It also comes with a harness that can be used in either rear or forward facing position. Another major selling point is that it's a long-lasting vehicle fixture which means you don't have to wake your sleeping baby to take them out for long trips. It's not compatible with travel systems like the Britax Romer Dualfix plus iSize, or Joie iSpin 360 iSize. You'll need to purchase a separate travel bag. The downside to permanently fixed car seats like the Axkid One i-size is that they aren't as easy to carry around when you have to transport them between different vehicles. If you decide to purchase a separate travel bag, pick one that is durable and can stand up to the wear and tear of daily use. It's worth spending a little more to purchase a bag that will last as long as the car seat of your child.
