What Is an Infant Carrier / Car Seat?  -  An infant carrier—also known as an infant car seat—is a rear-facing car seat specially designed to keep newborns and young babies safe during travel, typically from birth to around 12–15 months (or up to 13kg/75cm depending on the model). Lightweight and portable, infant carriers offer a snug, ergonomic fit for your baby’s developing body and often click directly onto compatible pushchairs to create a convenient travel system. Most feature a carry handle, newborn inserts, and side-impact protection, while ISOFIX bases provide a secure, hassle-free installation in your vehicle. Whether you're bringing baby home from hospital or heading out for daily adventures, an infant car seat is the safest place for your little one on the road.
