When buying an item for our baby, we want to ensure it’s protected against accidents. That’s why the best models of rear-facing car seats are emerging.

Placing children with their backs to the vehicle’s front window is reliable. Reduce the risk of your child suffering spinal and whiplash injuries in a crash by 73%.

In Nordic countries, using the best rear-facing car seats is mandatory for at least 4 years. I believe that this initiative is a good example. Here are some purchasing tips and a list of the best rear-facing seats on the market.

 

Star Ibaby

This elegant chair with a grey and cream coating that fits the elegance of any car guarantees a useful life from birth to 12 years.

It is the first multi-group car seat on the market to include a sun visor!

Like a baby, it protects him from the sides as he grows thanks to the latest generation adjustable Isofix system, Top Tether, SPS side protection system, and an ultra-comfortable visco-elastic reducer.

Another facility it offers is the 360º rotation that allows you to have maximum comfort for you and your baby when getting in and out of the car. You can turn the chair towards the car door.

 

Foppapedretti Rolling Fix

The Rolling fixed car seat is approved for groups 0+ and 1 to 18 kg (from birth to about four years). It is only used in vehicles equipped with an Isofix coupling. The swivel seat is practical.

In addition, it can be tilted in the opposite direction for children over 13 kg.

It complies with the European regulation ECE R44 / 04. It is available in ocean and graffiti versions.

It has an adjustable headrest and five-point seat belts.

It will not be challenging to maintain in good condition since its cover is removable and washable. The seat can be turned towards the car door, allowing the parent to position the child easily.

 

Foppapedretti Isodinamik

We present another car from the company, this time with the capacity to carry a child or baby from 9 months to 12 years;

It has excellent versatility of use. Approved according to the European regulation – ECE R44 / 04.

It can only be used on vehicles equipped with Isofix fasteners.

The seat is innovative, reclining, and has 5-point seat belts with shoulder pads and a side protection system.

 

Cybex Gray Rabbit

We present a Cybex chair with the same lifespan as the previous one, from 9 months to 12 years of the child.

The Gray Rabbit can be installed in cars with and without the Isofix system.

We say the model includes a 2-in-1 system because the transition from group 1 to group 2y3 – reversible seat – occurs naturally in the design.

The chair’s design is also remarkable. It has an adjustable safety cushion and integrated side impact protection. In addition, the headrest is reclining. You can consult purchase options and promotions in Amazon stores.

 

Foppapedretti Tourne

We end this list with the Tourne de Foppapedretti chair. The chair is approved for groups 0+ and 1 to 18 kg (from birth to about four years).

Thanks to its technology, it can be rotated 360 degrees to take the child to the car without difficulty.

Available in red and grey versions, with an elegant and distinguished design.

It has a double-sided pad, the foam is reduced, and the internal padding is firm. The seat belts are five-point with an adjustment mechanism. For easy washing, the cover is removable.

 

Buyer’s Considerations

How do I use a rear-facing car seat?

It seems to be a simple process. However, installing the seat is the fundamental step in ensuring the comfort and safety of your little one. That’s why we recommend not only a detailed reading of the instruction manual but also that you learn through video tutorials and the experiences of close friends how the equipment was installed.

You must consider, first of all, the orientation of the chair. It will depend on the group to which it belongs. Forwards or backward. Also, whether or not you have an installation base to secure the system. Finally, if it has been designed with the ISOFIX system, how to install it to avoid negligence.

• Read the instruction manual – where the details are
• Please make sure the car belts are in good condition because they are the ones that will hold the seat.
• If it is necessary to install a base, check the joints’ accuracy.
• If it fits with the straps directly on the chair – follow the steps in the manual and instructions carefully.
• Place the cover in case you bought one.
