All infant car seats have to be approved in accordance with the iSize standard and must meet European safety standards. The iSize standard is far more sophisticated than the R44/04 standard.

There are two standards currently in force - ECE R44, and R129 (known as i-Size), which is more rigorous and takes into account the weight and height when determining the appropriateness of child car seats.

They also allow your child facing backwards for a longer time. The only drawback is that they can't be used with a front passenger airbag, which may not be suitable for certain families.
