At In Car Safety Centre, we understand that premature and low birth weight babies have unique needs when it comes to travel safety. That’s why we offer a carefully curated selection of infant car seats specifically designed to support the delicate posture, breathing, and comfort of smaller newborns.
Our premature baby car seats are tested and approved from birth—including for babies born early—and come with specialist inlays and inserts that provide the correct ergonomic support right from the hospital discharge. These seats help to ensure the safest and most comfortable positioning for your baby during car journeys, however short.
We work closely with healthcare professionals and families to recommend trusted, medically-considered options, including ultra-lightweight carriers and models developed in collaboration with neonatal experts.
If you're unsure which seat is best for your baby, our expert team is here to help with personalised advice, virtual consultations, and in-store fittings.
We frequently support families of premature or very low birth weight infants who may not fit standard high-street car seats safely or comfortably. For these families, selecting a lightweight, ergonomically designed infant carrier with appropriate newborn or premature inlays is essential to provide the correct posture, head positioning, and side impact protection.
We typically recommend the following two seats for this purpose:
Weight from: 0kg (tested and certified from birth, including premature babies)
Weight of seat: Only 2.5kg – making it one of the lightest on the market
Inserts: Includes a specialist insert designed to support the fragile body of very small or premature babies, ensuring optimal recline and head positioning
Materials: Soft, breathable, hypoallergenic fabrics suitable for sensitive skin
Safety: R129 (i-Size) approved and offers excellent side-impact protection
The Pixel Pro 2.0C is one of our top recommendations for hospital discharge of premature infants due to its carefully designed insert system and low overall weight.
