How to choose a car seat for your child? Discover the best models of car seats for children from 2 to 3 years old, selected according to criteria of safety, comfort, ease of use according to all your budget and your vehicle.
The car seat is essential to guarantee optimal safety for children during a car journey. For children from 2 to 3 years old, it is generally necessary to choose a model from group 2 and/or 3. Those which are approved in these categories are generally suitable for children weighing between 15 and 36 kilos. To choose the one you are going to buy, you must first ask yourself if you want an evolutionary seat. You must then choose one from group 2/3, which will be able to follow your child throughout his growth, until he no longer needs a car seat. Today, most models are attached to the vehicle using the isofix system, a guarantee of safety, but they can also be attached in other ways. It’s up to you to see if you prefer a car seat with a five-point harness, or one that allows you to attach the child with the car’s seat belt. All are approved to protect your child in the event of an impact, but some offer additional safety, for example with padding on the head and armrests. Another very important criterion to take into account is comfort and ergonomics. It is therefore necessary to choose the car seat according to the morphology of your child. The harness must be adjustable or, failing that, it must allow the seat belt to be fastened in such a way that it does not interfere with the child. The padding is also important, and some of them even allow perspiration to escape, which is ideal in the summer and on long journeys. Finally, before buying a model, always check that it is compatible with your vehicle! This information can be checked on the brand’s website or on the car seat instructions.
