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.

I really likes the seat at first, but there is a design floor in the side panels. The plastic stops leaving about half a centimetre gap before the polystyrene starts and the fabric wraps in to meaning the polystyrene is easily bent, less than a year old and both side panels of polystyrene have snapped completely, full length from about half way back. Having contacted Axkid you can get new polystyrene panels for £18 each but they are on back order. We use this seat in conjunction with a special needs harness so we don’t have many options on compatible seats. I like Axkid my other child is in a mini kid but this seems like a design floor that the plastic doesn’t fully protect the polystyrene from being bent
