1. Seat direction, standard group and age recommendation: You have to pay attention to this

Child seats of standard group 0+ are ideal for children up to 2 years.

In our Maxi Cosi child seat comparison 2019/2020, we found that most child car seats be installed in the direction of travel. The direction in which your child can look while driving is based on the ECE-R 44 standard.

In the table below we have summarized the different norm groups for child car seats. These depend on body weight. As a guideline, Maxi-Cosi also issues an age recommendation.

standard group	Weight	seat direction	Recommended age
Group 0+	less than 13 kilograms	backward	up to 2 years
Group 1	9 to 18 kilograms	forward or backward	1 to 4.5 years
Group 2	15 to 25 kilograms	forward or backward	3.5 to 7 years
Group 3	22 to 36 kilograms	forward or backward	7 to 12 years

This was reacted to by the legislature, which has prescribed the i-size standard (ECE Reg. 129) for newly registered child car seats since September 2017. This divides the standard groups according to body size and also prescribes an Isofix fastening. Most manufacturers currently still sell child seats in accordance with ECE-R 44.

Child seats of standard group 0+ may only be installed against the direction of travel.
