If your kids are growing up, it's time for a child car seat! Read our guide to find out what to look for when you're shopping around.

It’s advertised as suitable for children from 15kg, and as our three-and-a-half year old is just 15kg, we tried her in it. She loved the bright colours (Cosatto’s brand ethos is “baby stuff with personality”), and it was the first seat she tried with a cupholder (can be fitted either side), which she thought was fantastic. However, her legs ached on long journeys as they weren’t quite long enough for the knees to hang comfortably over the end of the squab, so we recommend progressing to a booster seat as late as possible. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. However, even in some of the vehicles approved for use with the seat, we found it was sometimes difficult to latch the seatbelt securely and without it touching the side of the seat’s casing – notably a BMW 3-series (2012-on). The only exception to this is if the items were delivered damaged, which must be communicated in writing to our customer service team with photographic evidence on the day you received your item(s).

It’s a heavy seat, too, weighing over 13kg, but assuming you’re not having to lug it in and out of a car all the time, that may not be too much of an issue for parents.

R44 (legally known as ECE R44/04) car seats are divided into groups based on weight, with some covering multiple groups. Logico L R44 is based on these standards.
