Child car seats are an essential requirement for families who use cars in their everyday lives so as experts in baby products, we offer an extensive choice of car seats for children, from birth to 12 years old. We are proud to have been keeping children safe in Graco car seats for over 60 years as we know that safety in the car is the top priority for 87% of parents.
Alongside popular parenting media sites like
First Time Mums and The Mum Club, we have talked to a lot of parents about car seat safety standards and their experience of travelling by car with their children.
Only a quarter of readers of Mother & Baby are confident they know what the different car seat safety standards mean, but two-thirds of parents plan to buy new a new car seat as their child grows. 81% of followers of First Time Mums, admitted to feeling nervous taking the very first car journey with their baby, and not just that, 40% of them felt anxious. A group of mums who are members at The Mum Club feel standards are so confusing they rely on retailers to reassure them that the car seat they are using is up to date. They also rely on the reputation of the leading manufacturers to feel reassured they are choosing the very best protection for their little one.
First Time Mums
Taking a car journey with your little one for the first time is nerve wracking, especially as for most of us, it’s the moment when we are taking our baby home from the safety of the hospital and journeying into our life together.
Parents must put their trust in the car seat to protect their little one as if they are still holding them in their arms. We know this is a tough moment for many new parents, but we were intrigued to find out just how new parents have felt during this time.
To find out more, we worked with the new organisation First Time Mums UK who have a fantastic network of mums supporting each other on social media and via their motherhood.blog. We were thrilled that over 500 mums responded to our questions, and we are incredibly grateful for the insights.
We are proud to be trusted by these new mums with their most precious possession. When you can’t hold them, we will.
