How to choose a car seat ? Need for a few days only ? What are the prices for renting or in specialized stores ?
Your baby is growing so fast that it's not easy to choose a car seat that always fits your weight and height. And yet, for his safety, he must always be perfectly adapted to his morphology.
Do not forget, the car seat is mandatory in the car for children up to 10 years or measuring up to 1.35 meters.
To help you better choose your child's car seat, there are different models that are divided into groups according to its weight. To better understand, we did a quick synthesis of the groups.
Groups 0: from birth to 10 kg or up to 70 cm
Group 0+: from birth to 13 kg or up to 80 cm
Groups 1: from 9 to 18 kg or up to 1 meter
Group 2 (from 15 to 25 kg), group 3 (from 22 to 36 kg) or up to 1 m 50
But beyond the groups, some brands offer car seats that combine several groups. This will allow you to have a car seat that will evolve with the age of your child.
Some examples of car seat baby brands:
. Group 0 + / 1 from birth to 4 years or up to 18 kg: the brand Joie Baby.
. Group 1/2/3 from 9 months to 12 years or from 9 kg to about 36kg: the Britax / Römer brand.
The average selling price of car seats is relatively high. Here is a range of prices found in specialty stores:
. Group 0+: between 90 and 300 euros
. Group 0 + / 1: between 90 and 350 euros
. Groups 1/2/3: between 100 and 400 euros
. Original car seat cover: between 40 and 70 euros.
. Car seat reducer: between 20 and 40 euros.
The most important criterion, well before the price, is of course quality and therefore safety ! Our little advice: if you need it for a few days or you hesitate on a model, it is possible before buying your car seat to rent it on the site Familib.com !
