Choosing the right extended rear-facing car seat is essential for your child’s safety and comfort during car journeys. Rear-facing seats offer superior protection for infants and toddlers by supporting the head, neck, and spine in the event of a crash. In the UK, keeping your child in an extended rear-facing seat beyond the legal minimum of 15 months, ideally up to 4 years or more, significantly reduces the risk of serious injury. In this guide, we explore top extended rear-facing car seat options and provide practical advice on how to select the best seat for your growing child.

My son previously had a Crelling harness but had worked out how to unclip the straps and I was at a lose to what to use next.
So far the magnetic harness is working so well and I have high hopes it’ll work moving forward. It’s a little tricky installing due to adjusting in the back but once sized up correctly it’s so easy to use.
Staff at the Essex branch of in car safety were great and explained everything and answered all my questions. Would 100% recommend
I had my daughter in the Nuna Pipa Lite carrier from birth and she just always seemed so uncomfortable. As time went on she got more distressed during car journeys and it was enough to cause a car accident. I went to see Claire at Towcester and she went through available seats for her size and we decided the Avionaut Stardust. It’s been a life changer, she falls asleep within minutes, she can see out of the windows when she is awake she isn't just staring at the back of the seat. It sounds dramatic but it’s changed our lives!
