Baby car seats should be used from when your baby is newborn, up until they are around four years old and ready to transition into the next group of baby car seat.
Your little one should remain in a car seat until they are 12 years old or over 135 centimetres tall, whichever of these comes first.
A baby or toddler should not be in their car seat for longer than two hours at a time for their safety and comfort. Research suggests that babies and toddlers who are in a car seat for longer than two hours may experience breathing difficulties and strain on their spine, hips and other areas. If you're going to be travelling for a longer period of time, it's important to schedule regular breaks.
Your newborn should be in a rear-facing baby car seat that fits them correctly and is secured with the correct base.

We recommend that little ones remain in a rear-facing baby car seat until they are at least four years old, however it is best for children to rear-face for as long as possible, as they are five times safer in a rear-facing car seat than a forward-facing baby car seat. Read this blog to find out more about the benefits of rear-facing travel, and why much-loved brand Axkid recommends rear-facing up to the age of seven for maximum safety: https://www.naturalbabyshower.co.uk/blogs/b4baby/axkid-car-seats-the-future-is-rear-facing
What is the longest a baby should be in their car seat? Your little one should not be in their car seat for more than two hours at a time, and any longer may pose some risks to their spine or in sme cases, cause breathing difficulties. If you're planning a journey longer than two hours, it's important to take regular breaks whenever you can which is much safer for both you and baby.
