Axkid One i-Size
The Axkid One is an i-Size car seat that offers extended rear-facing for upto 7 years. It is suitable from birth (with the infant insert for the Oneplus) to around age 6. It is made of sturdy plastics and metal with a solid base. The headrest can be adjusted by pressing a single button. This allows older children to have more leg room. There is also a slightly awkward side impact protector that slides over to the back of the seat, but it seems to work and is easy to use.
The seat is easy to install with the help of 6 easy steps and an anti-rotation bar that snaps into place as you fold down the support leg It's a fast process and should only take 30 seconds if you've practiced. It's also very lightweight which makes it easier to maneuver. The ISOFIX connectors easily slide into the car's Isofix points, and there's an integrated audio signal to inform you if the seat is in a good position.
The Axkid One 2 is an upgrade to the very well-known Axkid ONE and has over 150 improvements - most of them hidden on the inside, so you don't see them, but they make the car seat more secure, smoother to use and more comfortable for your child. It's also the only rear-facing ISOFIX seat on the market with a maximum weight/height limit of 23kg and 125cm. It's i-Size Plus approved which is the highest standard of safety testing. It comes with a long backrest that allows you to keep the child facing forward for a longer period of time. Research shows that this is the most secure way to travel.
Cybex Cloud T
The sleek and striking Cybex Cloud T is a car seat that has a lot going for it. It is compatible with iSize and travel systems. It also has an unidirectional 180deg swivel entry (when it is used with an optional Base T ISOfix base). This makes it easier to get your child into and out of the vehicle. It also has a Newborn Inlay which promotes a close to flat lying position for smaller newborns and premature babies. This is safer and helps reduce respiratory problems. However, this can be removed as your baby grows. It also has Linear Side Impact Protection, which reduces impact forces by up to 25% and guides them away.
The breathable fabrics and the adjustable canopy ensure that your baby will have a comfortable ride. The advanced air ventilation system is designed to maintain a stable temperature and ensure your child stays cool during long rides.

Additionally, you'll be delighted by the innovative recline feature that gives your child a lying-flat position in the car and a near-flat recline inside the vehicle, similar to a carrycot.

Nuna Pipa
Nuna Pipa, a car seat created by Dutch designers, is available in various colors. Their mission is to design products that are stylish and user-friendly. It's safe to say they have succeeded with the Pipa. This car seat has won a variety of awards, including the silver award in the Group 0+ Category at the UK's Prima Baby Awards 2014. This car seat is also available in a lighter model called the Pipa Lite Lx.
Both versions of this seat feature great safety features and are highly evaluated. The seat's base features a load-leg and rigid lower anchors that help keep the seat in its place during crashes. It also includes an anti-rebound bar to minimize rotation and absorb forces from crashes.
The car seat is equipped with a harness that does not need to be rethread and an adjustable head support, which makes it easy to adapt with your child's needs. It can be used from day one and up to 13kg. This seat is also GREENGUARD Gold certified, which means that it meets low chemical emissions standards and is more sustainable for the environment.
While the Pipa is a great choice for many families, it might not be the best choice for parents with tiny babies or very tall ones. You will need to buy a separate
infant car seat that swivels insert, and the stretchy crotch strap pad. However, the padding is comfortable and lightweight so it's not an issue.
Nuna Pipa is also ideal for parents who take taxis or rideshares but do not want to deal with the hassle of putting together an additional base. All you need to do is push the latches onto the vehicle's anchors, and an indicator will change to green if the seat has been installed correctly.
