Product Information

If the price appears to be significantly lower than you’d expect for the sort of product you’re buying, then you’d be wise to start looking in a bit more detail at other indicators of the quality.

Chicco Car Seats are designed to ensure the utmost safety and comfort for your little one, however there are certain factors which attribute to you needing to get a new car seat for your child. The crash test rating is not good; the side impact protection is basically nothing at all (more of a problem for this age group which is why it gets a worse score) and they rate it with a high risk of making an error while using, which is a problem, because if it's not fitted correctly then it's likely to perform worse even than this already not-great score.The Hifold is weight based, so needs a minimum weight of 15kg. No minimum height (but bear the 100cm recommendation in mind). It was included in the 2020 ADAC tests. You can see the results of those through Which? (in English and detailed, but paid) or here for free in German (all further OAMTC links can also be viewed on Which?): The Nachfolger is expensive, and I can imagine inflating it would be quite a faff while a taxi driver is waiting. The first factor that you can look at is the brand. Often we can get a really good understanding of the quality of toys and other gadgets by just looking at the brand. There are some brands that are really well known for great quality, whilst others might be better known for value.(and some are known to be poor in both areas). With these factors in mind, you are then faced with a choice of Group 0-3, rear-facing or forward-facing, ISOFIX, and booster seats - all of which can be extremely confusing! Since your child might not be quite in the weight/height region for booster seats just yet, what about a lightweight standard type car seat? Something like Britax Eclipse (which is additionally plane approved) or Joie Steadi (which has a rear facing option). These are cheaper than most of the folding options so it might not matter that you'll only get a couple of years out of it. Or even the cheaper generic/own brand type supermarket seats by Nania etc - these tend to be pretty flimsy, and average to low on the performance end, but they are light, seatbelt fitted, cheap to buy and they score better than the Urban Kanga. Something like Nania Racer SP or Nania I-Max SP

With that in mind, we wanted to really explore and analyse the price of Chicco Fold&Go i-Size Baby Car Seat to see how cheap you can get it, but also see how it compares to other products. To do this we looked all the products available in the “Car seats” category, as well as looking at the products available from the brand Chicco. As we mentioned earlier, the brand you choose is quite a personal thing. We each have our own views on which brands are best suited for our needs and that goes for anything we’re buying. Even toys, gadgets, games and Car seats. The Maxi-cosi Nomad (hoping it is better than the poorly rated Urban Kanga) till he grows to 105ish cm, then TinySeats is a bit of an unusual one with the isofix base. Again no crash test on it. It looks heavy. The inclusion of a booster mode seems strange and I wonder why they have done that, perhaps to make it seem like it lasts longer? But once you are in the booster age/stage, you will surely want a lighter and more practical travel option than this. I also wonder if including a booster option compromises on the other modes, it does seem to in most multi-mode seats for everyday use (that have been crash tested). However, great to have another option for rear facing if you want to, and the isofix plus support leg is likely to offer better protection from a frontal crash, though it doesn't look that different from the Urban Kanga for side impacts. As you note, needing isofix may be a problem. Of course, one downside to buying online is that you aren’t able to see the product in-person. But there are many ways to help you determine a product’s quality without seeing it.UK law states that a child must use a car seat until they're 12 years old or 135cm tall - whichever comes first. However, safety experts recommend using a car seat until they're 150cm. By law, all children must be in a car seat until they are at least 12 years old, or 135cm tall, whichever comes first. You can’t beat a video review. As we mentioned earlier, one of the downsides to buying online is the inability to actually see and test the product. This is where videos can really help to bridge the gap and give you an almost just as good alternative.

When selecting your child’s car seat, the factor to focus on is weight, and not age - it is recommended that all babies are kept in rear-facing car seats until they are at least 9kg (approx. 15 months). You say you're not clear about the advantages of a Peg-Perego over a traditional booster. I was thinking weight (at 6.7 kg it's not a feather but ordinary boosters can be heavier) and bulk, because it folds kind of flat and is easier to carry around. We have taken a few flights with an ordinary car seat in a huge shoulder bag - not fun, with the car seat that you can't place on top of the suitcase trolley, and which keeps swinging from your shoulder.
