Car seat for a 6-month-old baby?
⚡ Short answer: For a 6-month-old, choose a rear-facing, ISO FIX-compatible, side-impact protected car seat with current safety certification (ECE R44/04 or R129) — I can't recommend a specific brand, but these are the features to look for.

Choosing the right car seat for a 6-month-old is crucial — the key is making sure it fits your baby's weight and size. At 6 months, "rear-facing" seats are recommended — the AAP suggests keeping babies rear-facing as long as possible.
I can't recommend a specific brand, but here's what to look for when choosing:
- ISO FIX connection (if your car has it)
- Side impact protection labeled on the seat
- Weight approval for your baby (most are 0–13 kg or 0–18 kg)
- Washable fabric
When looking at prices and features, focus on safety certifications (ECE R44/04 or the newer R129). Your baby will outgrow this seat as he gets bigger — for now, a proper rear-facing, correctly installed seat is safest. Your pediatrician or a child safety expert can also help you choose.
