Kids & Family

The safest car seat? A pushchair that handles British winters? We test 107 products so you can make safer choices for the whole family.

271 reviews · page 4 of 6

Family products are tested on safety first. Every car seat, pushchair, and baby carrier we recommend meets the relevant UK and EU regulations (R129 i-Size for car seats, EN 1888 for pushchairs, EN 13209 for carriers). We cross-check Which? crash-test results, RoSPA guidance, and reports to Trading Standards. For toys we verify CE/UKCA marking and BS EN 71 compliance. For pushchairs we test fold size against popular UK cars, kerb negotiability on real British pavements, and manoeuvrability one-handed while holding a coffee. Long-term durability matters: a £400 pushchair that survives a sibling wins over a £600 single-kid showpiece.

Frequently asked questions about kids & family

When do I switch my child from car seat to booster?+
Under UK law, children must use a car seat until they reach 135cm tall or 12 years old, whichever comes first. Practically, most children are ready for a high-back booster around 4 years / 18kg, and backless boosters are best delayed until at least 125cm — head and torso support matter in a side impact.
What's the difference between a travel system and a standalone pushchair?+
A travel system accepts a matching infant car seat on the chassis, so you can move a sleeping baby without waking them. Standalone pushchairs are lighter and usually fold smaller, but require transferring the baby. Travel systems cost more and add bulk, so consider how much you'll actually use the car seat on the chassis.
Are wooden toys safer than plastic?+
Not inherently — both are safe if properly manufactured and CE/UKCA marked. Wood avoids some phthalate concerns and lasts longer, but cheap wooden toys can splinter or have unsafe paint. Plastic from a reputable brand is fine; unbranded wooden imports from unknown sellers are not.
How long does a baby monitor last?+
Video monitors typically last 3–4 years before battery degradation makes them unreliable. Wi-Fi monitors that stream to your phone avoid this but depend on router coverage. Both should support two-way talk, night vision, and at least 720p video for real usefulness.
