We’re delighted to share some exciting news from the world of child car seat safety. Avionaut, one of Europe’s leading innovators in car seat design, has received a prestigious accolade: the Pixel Pro 2.0 C infant carrier has been named Best Infant Carrier 2025 by What Car? – one of the UK’s most trusted motoring authorities.
For many parents, one of the most common questions around car seat safety is:
“When should my child move from a harnessed seat to a booster?”
It’s a big milestone — and getting the timing right is essential.
When parents think about car seat safety, they often imagine frontal collisions — but did you know that side-impact crashes account for around 1 in 4 serious accidents? These types of collisions, also called “T-bone” or “broadside” crashes, usually happen at junctions, side streets, and roundabouts — exactly the kinds of roads families use every day.
Becoming a parent is emotional, exciting—and yes, sometimes overwhelming. We get it. Choosing a car seat feels like high stakes, but the good news is this: You're already putting safety first.
Many parents assume their child is ready to ditch the booster seat once they turn 12 or hit 135 cm — because that’s what the law says. But here’s the truth: legal minimums don’t always equal maximum safety.
While a cushion may seem convenient, the truth is that a high-back booster offers a fundamentally higher level of protection, comfort, and long-term safety benefits. In this guide, we’ll explain exactly why — and give you the tools to confidently decide on the best option for your family.
