It is overwhelming how quickly they grow. This can also be the reason you now need to look for a car seat in a new weight class if the first car seat 0-13 kg has become too small for your child.
It can be difficult to keep up with the rapid development, but at Mammashop we are well prepared with et large selection of car seats 9-18 kg, so we can help you as best as possible with a new car seat and ensure the best possible safety for your child when you drive a car.
It can be a jungle to figure out sizes, needs, and necessary equipment when the child is constantly growing and developing. This applies both in relation to clothing, sleeping, meal times, and safety. In relation to the latter, the size of the child's car seat is essential for safety in the car.
You can be sure that it is time for a new car seat if your child weighs more than what your current car seats are approved for. But you should also consider it if the child's head reaches over the edge of the car seat, which according to Sikkertrafik.dk means that the car seat is now too small, and therefore no longer ensures optimal safety for your child. For this reason, you should choose a car seat 9-18 kg when it corresponds to your child's weight.
The most important car seat test is your individual test of whether the car seat meets your needs. But it can be et a good guideline to look for car seats that have the designation "best in test" with us. This means that it has particularly good qualities and stands out in tests – and of course that the car seat has been awarded best in test.
But you can be sure that all car seats at Mammashop are approved according to current legislation and either have an ECE approval or, if it is an Isofix car seat, an I-size approval.
In our selection of car seats, we have different weight classes, all designed for different needs. For newborns and babies a few months old, a car seat 0-13 kg would be the right choice. The next weight class is 9-18 kg. After that, there are car seats approved for 15-36 kg and 9-36 kg.
The weight class with car seats 9-18 kg is the obvious choice for small children of the corresponding weight. For most, this will be when the child is between 1 and 4 years old, but it is important that the car seat is only used during the period when the child's head does not reach over the edge of the car seat, or while the child's weight matches the seat's approved capacity.
The weight is et an easy and important benchmark for choosing a car seat. But we also know well that children and parents have different needs. This can be clearly seen in the different needs, including the time for using pacifiers or the need for toilet trainers.
But this also applies to car seats, and that is why we proudly carry et a selection of car seats from various popular brands, including Maxi-Cosi, Cybex and Britax Römer. The brands we have specifically chosen to sell have different strengths and characteristics, but all car seats in our range, regardless of the brand behind, are quality car seats with good safety and mandatory approval.
The weight determines which weight class you should buy a car seat in, but there may be other needs that determine which car seat you should buy. This applies to both the child's needs, age, and height, as well as the size and installation options in relation to your car and any Isofix attachments.
If you need guidance regarding the purchase of a car seat, you can safely contact our competent customer service, which is ready to help you. It is important for the child's safety, and your joy with the car seat, that you buy the right one, and it is important for us that you are happy with your purchase.

Perhaps your child's first car seat 0-9 kg was an Isofix car seat, so you are already familiar with the advantages of this installation option. Perhaps in the meantime you have gotten a et new car with Isofix attachments, or for some other reason are considering whether your child's 9-18 kg car seat should be an Isofix car seat.
We can only recommend that you choose it if you have a car with Isofix attachments, as it is the safest installation option for a car seat, because it is a direct connection between the car's body and the car seat. If you do not have a car with such attachments, then you should not choose an Isofix car seat, as it would simply be more unstable. If you want to know more about Isofix, you can read more about it at the bottom of this page.
If you are set on which model it should be, the next step in the process is to have the car seat installed correctly to ensure the best safety for your child. Regarding whether a car seat 9-18 kg should be installed forward-facing or rear-facing, it is recommended that you, as long as possible, install the car seat rear-facing.
This recommendation is based on a study of what is safest for the child's head, neck, and back in the event of a frontal collision. Additionally, the car seat should always be placed in the back seat unless your airbag is deactivated. A rear-facing car seat placed in front of an active airbag is illegal.
