Car Seat Rules – Your Child's Safety

Your child's safety is important, and therefore we at Mammashop also care a lot about safety. This applies throughout the home and in the children's room, but it also applies in the car. There is legislation in this area that aims to ensure that your child is safe while you drive.

The legislation stipulates that you, as the driver of the car, are responsible for ensuring that your child is securely fastened. For children under 135 cm, they must be secured in approved safety equipment, which includes car seats and booster seats. Additionally, the safety equipment must be appropriate for the child's height and weight. 

Rules for Children in the Car

The responsibility for children in the car applies until the child is 15 years old. But already from the first drive with your child, it is important that you are aware of the rules that apply to children in the car. If you do not comply, it can have both financial consequences for you, as it triggers a fine of 2,000 DKK and et points on your driving license. But it can also have serious consequences for the child if you are involved in an accident. 

At Mammashop, our three core values are sustainability, safety, and humanity. This emphasizes how important we believe safety is. Therefore, you will find various products with us to create greater safety in the home, including safety gates, childproofing, and corner guards. Safety in the home is important, and safety in the car is also. Therefore, we sell quality car seats that can ensure your child when you are out driving. 

Approved Car Seats

Car seats must have a special ECE approval or an I-Size approval. I-Size is a new approval that came into effect in 2013, but it is a valid approval for Isofix car seats. If you have a newer car with Isofix attachments, you can check whether it is suitable for all I-Size approved car seats.

All car seats that you find with us at Mammashop are approved according to the applicable rules, so you can be sure that the car seat you purchase from us meets the required standards. The car seats have either an ECE or I-Size approval. Moreover, our selection of car seats is carefully chosen, so you will only find good quality from the best brands with us. Among these brands is the popular brand Britax Römer, which has been producing car seats since 1966.

Isofix Car Seats

In your search for the perfect car seat, you may have come across the term Isofix car seat? An Isofix car seat is a car seat that must be mounted in the car's Isofix attachments. These are two brackets between the car's seats that are permanently attached as part of the car's structure and into which the car seat is mounted. This direct connection between the car seat and the car's structure creates increased safety.

However, it requires a car with Isofix attachments, and if you do not have that, you should not buy an Isofix car seat. It will simply be more unstable on the seat. This is because Isofix car seats must only be mounted in the car's Isofix attachments and not in the car's seat belts. But it is precisely this type of mounting that makes Isofix car seats particularly safe and also the reason why they perform well in car seat tests.

Advantages of an Isofix car seat

An Isofix car seat is quick and easy to install, and it can only be installed correctly. You will likely notice an incorrect and dangerous installation of the seat immediately. The easy installation is due to the fact that the brackets are permanently attached to the car and fit the brackets on the car seat in such a way that it is easy to install the seat correctly.

Another advantage of this type of car seat is that it is securely fastened directly to the car's chassis, thereby increasing safety and protection of the child's neck and head. An Isofix car seat is the safest choice of car seat and performs excellently in car seat tests.

Forward-facing and rear-facing car seats – what should you choose?

As new parents, there are really many things to consider, including buying the right items. A car seat is a necessity, and first and foremost, you need to consider which car seat is suitable for your child. But you also need to think about whether it should be a forward-facing or rear-facing car seat.

Both comply with the legislation, and the decision can therefore be determined by how much space there is in the car and your needs. But as a starting point, it is safest to use a rear-facing car seat, as it best protects the child in a frontal collision. Several of our car seats can be used both as forward-facing and rear-facing.

The right car seat for your child

Using a rear-facing car seat is safest for the child, especially from birth and during the first many months. For some, it may work for the entire time a car seat is necessary, but due to the child's growth or the size of the car, it may be necessary to use the car seat in a forward-facing position.

When it comes to a car seat, the same applies as for purchasing, for example, baby nests or baby and junior beds. They should fit your needs as a family and the child's needs.

The first thing you can take into account when choosing a car seat is your child's weight. From there, you can look more closely at the weight class of the car seat that makes sense for you. In the different categories, you can see the various brands, types, and sizes of car seats and thus find the one that best suits your child and your needs.

Car seat weight classes
On our car seat page, you will be greeted by a division of our selection of car seats into weight classes. We have done this to make it easy for you to find the right car seat for your child, and you avoid having to click through all the products.

Our division is based on manufacturers and product guidelines and weight limits. The different weight classes are 0-13 kg, 9-18 kg, 15-36 kg, and 9-36 kg. So once you know your child's weight, you are already well on your way to finding the right car seat.

Car seat - age or weight?

When the child is around 3-4 years old, a booster seat is recommended. This age can be et a good starting point, but the switch should be based on your individual assessment, as it largely depends on the child's growth. When the child is about 10 years old or at least 135 cm tall, most children will be able to sit without a car seat or booster seat in the car's seat.

It is similar to the transition from diapers to toilet trainers or the switch away from pacifiers. It varies from child to child. This also applies to the choice of car seat, but the child's weight can be et a good starting point. The mentioned ages of 3-4 years and 10 years can be et benchmarks for your choice.

Car Seats Best in Test

Et another good benchmark regarding the choice of car seat is brands and models that have been rated best in test. We sell many different car seats, including models that have won best in test awards. This will appear as a "Best in Test" marking on the product in question.
