Newborn Car Seats

How long does a baby need to stay in a newborn car seat?

Your baby should stay in a newborn car seat until they are approximately 15 months old or weigh 13kg. Our Dream i-Size infant carrier comes with a newborn insert that can be easily adjusted to keep baby comfortable as they grow.

Do I need a rearward-facing or forward-facing seat?

Newborns should be seated in a rearward-facing car seat to provide the best protection for their head, neck, and spine. You can switch to a forward-facing seat when your baby is at least 15 months old. Visit our Car Safety Centre for more guidance on how to choose the right car seat for your child.

How long can a baby stay in a car seat?

Babies should stay in car seats for no more than two hours at a time, even when they’re sleeping. For more information, read our guide – How long can a baby be in a car seat?

Do you need a base for Silver Cross newborn car seats?

The Dream i-Size with ISOFIX base and Motion 2 All Size 360 are both ISOFIX seats, meaning your vehicle must have ISOFIX anchor points in order for the seats to be installed.
