Knowing when to move your child into a toddler car seat is a big milestone for parents. Many families wonder whether it’s based on age, weight, height, or simply when their baby looks uncomfortable in their current seat.
The truth is, the right time to move to a toddler car seat depends on your child’s size and the limits of their current seat — not their birthday.
Choosing the right toddler car seat is one of the most important decisions parents make. Your child’s safety depends on having a seat that fits properly, is suitable for their height and weight, and is easy to use correctly on every journey.

Choosing the right toddler car seat is one of the most important safety decisions you will make for your child. From understanding the latest UK regulations to knowing when it’s time to move up from a baby seat, getting it right can feel overwhelming. This guide explains everything parents need to know about toddler car seats, including safety rules, sizes, fitting, and when to upgrade — plus how to choose the best seat for your child and your car.
As the temperature drops and winter coats make their return, it’s natural to bundle kids up before heading out. But what’s warm isn’t always what’s safe — especially when it comes to car seats. According to safety experts at Axkid, bulky jackets, snowsuits and padded outerwear can create extra space between your child and the harness, seriously reducing the effectiveness of the restraint system.
The festive season is a wonderful time for families — but it’s also one of the busiest and most challenging periods on the road. According to guidance shared by Axkid, holiday traffic brings a “perfect storm” of heavy congestion, stressed drivers, reduced daylight and winter weather conditions that can all increase the risk of accidents.
