Product Information

Lara is a super-urban stroller that weighs no more than 6.3kg—now that is light! It’s ultra-compact design allows you to store it in the smallest of places. From an installation point of view, the Jané Matrix Light 2 fits safely onto the ISOFIX swivel base that rotates towards you, making it easier to manoeuvre this seat in and out of the car. Or if you’re switching the car seat between cars, simply secure it with the five-point harness system designed with durable, longer straps to secure it tightly in a sideways position.

We made sure that every one of our recommended lie-flat car seats had been independently tested and awarded safety scores from the German automobile club ADAC, which performs stringent safety tests. Find out how this car seat scored in our tough crash tests by reading the full Britax Ru00f6mer Baby-Safe2 car seat review. While traditional upright car seats are considered safe and meet legal requirements in the UK, there are essential considerations that might sway your choice in favour of a lie-flat car seat.The lie-flat position isn't just a comfier choice. It offers babies a more natural sleeping posture, which allows for easier breathing and prevents slumping in their car seat. Plus, it's kinder on their spines and hips, reducing the risk of hip issues down the road.

A lie-flat model is the best type of car seat for a newborn to travel in, meaning that your child can spend longer in their car seat with minimum risk to their health or development. The padding: Assess the lie-flat car seat's padding and overall comfort to ensure your baby is well supported. EcoCare fabrics are produced without the use of hazardous chemicals, meaning that babies' skin is not exposed to any potential risks. Ultimately, whether you need a lie-flat car seat depends on your specific circumstances. If you go on extended car trips with your newborn or prefer the added reassurance of a more natural sleeping position, a lie-flat car seat could be a valuable investment. However, for shorter journeys, a traditional upright car seat that complies with safety regulations may suffice. What age do babies not need to lie flat?According to the NHS, i-Size is a European car seat safety standard under ECE R129 that aims to replace the older R44/04 regulation with stricter safety standards in time. However, currently both are available to buy and legal to use in the UK. Newborns should lie completely flat when they are sleeping, even when travelling by car, to help with breathing and healthy spine development. TBH I think they are both good options. You may also want to look at the Britax i-Sense system which is very similar to the other two and has also recently come out. Babies typically no longer need to lie flat in a fully reclined position when they can sit up independently, which typically occurs between five and seven months of age. The Nuna Arra Next is also the only car seat on our list to hold the prestigious GREENGUARD Gold Certification, signifying its adherence to the strictest third-party chemical emissions standards. In a nutshell, this guarantees your child's safety without compromising indoor air quality.

When leaving the hospital with a premature baby or baby with medial conditions, they may have to pass the car test. This may happen if the little one is; less than 37 weeks gestation, going home on oxygen, have a congenial heart disease or other conditions where they can't tolerate time in a car seat or were born outside of their local hospital and will take an hour to get home. Read more on this test here. Perfect for parents with places to be, the Nuna Cari is an innovative carrycot that doubles up as a car seat when used in conjunction with the Nuna Base Next included in this bundle, making getting out and about with baby an absolute breeze. Travel system compatible with your adaptor friendly Nuna pushchair (sold separately), you only need a pushchair chassis and your carrycot to hit the road with your little one, giving you one less thing to buy before your big arrival. Save the car seat shopping for later, the Nuna Cari Next is all you need. Side-impact protection: i-Size car seats have enhanced side-impact protection to minimise injury risk in side collisions. You will love its super-easy one-hand folding system: just touch the pushbar once and the stroller will automatically fold up. Our new Lara is so compact, you can easily fold and store it in the smallest of places. Perfect for urban families and travellers, Lara is exceptionally lightweight—only 6.3 kg, and it also provides your babies with maximum comfort, thanks to its breathable seat.Over the past few years a new breed of lie-flat car seat has emerged to combat this two-hour rule, meaning that your newborn can spend longer in their car seat with less risk to their health or development. Flexible recline: A good lie-flat car seat should typically recline to an angle of between 130 to 180 degree or as close to flat as possible. This position allows for a safe and comfortable sleeping posture for newborns and young infants while travelling in the car. It is totally understandable to be concerned about your little one sweating in the stroller. That’s why we designed Lara’s breathable seat: the fabric keeps your baby cool even in hot temperatures, and the extendable sun canopy protects her from the sun, rain and wind!

Are you looking for an ultra-compact stroller that offers your baby maximum comfort? Do you want to explore the world with your family? Are you a city dwelling parent who depends on public transport to get around? If so, then our Lara is the perfect stroller for you! All 3 go on the same pushchair adapters (Maxi Cosi/Cybex/Universal type, not Britax type, those are for older Britax seats), so will fit all the same models. Cybex is probably "officially" approved for more simply because it's been out longer, but you don't need the official approval especially. Stylish, safe and ergonomic, the Cybex Cloud Z2 i-Size Car Seat with Isofix in Soho Grey is perfect for making travel with your little one as smooth as possible. When added to the base, the Cloud Z2 becomes a rotating seat - letting you turn the seat sideways for easy entry and exit from the car.
