Among the many must-buys for parents are the baby car seats, and in Singapore, it’s mandatory for anyone below 1.35 metres in height to be properly secured by an approved child restraint based on their height and weight, when on the road.
Having a baby car seat can protect your precious child from unfortunate incidents on the road, hence it’s very important to choose the right one. So to help you find the best one for your child, we’ve identified the top criteria to look for when choosing the best baby car seats in Singapore.
How to choose the best baby car seats in Singapore
- Safety: Choose a baby car seat that meets Singapore’s safety standards.
- Functionality: Baby car seats are expensive, and you will save more in the long run if you choose a convertible baby car seat that can grow with your child/serve multiple functionalities.

- Ease of maintenance: Trust us when we say that you will want to choose a material that is easy to clean (think vomit, spilled food materials, diaper leakages, etc.)
