There are a lot of baby car seat brands in Malaysia, and they all come in different types and prices. So, how do you choose the most suitable and worthy for your bundle of joy? Before we go to the list of famous baby car seats in Malaysia, let’s dive into the factors you need to consider before buying:
What To Consider Before Buying A Baby Car Seat:
i. Size
Are you aware of what Group 0, Group 1 and so on means on a baby car seat? Don’t worry, we’ll give you the simplest explanation for this. Each car seat comes with a weight groups categories, and this is where the Group 0, Group 1, etc falls into. Since babies grow at different rates, knowing where your baby size fits is important to ensure long-time use. The chart below is created to help parents choose the best baby car seats according to the regulation of ECE R44.03 or ECE R44.04:
Group 0/0+ – Newborn to 13kg (0 to 15 months)
Group 0+/1 – Newborn to 18kg (0 to around 4 years)
Group 0+/1/2 – Newborn to 25kg (0 to around 7 years)
Group 0+/1/2/3 – Newborn to 36kg (0 to around 12 years)
Group 1 – 9kg to 18kg (9 months to 4 years)
Group 1/2/3 – 9kg to 36kg (9 months to 12 years)
Group 2/3 – 15kg to 36kg (4 years to 12 years)
Group 3 – 22kg to 36kg (from 5 or 6 years and more than 125cm tall)
ii. Price
When browsing for baby car seats, you probably have seen the prices range from as low as RM100 to as high as RM1000 and more. And you probably wondered, is the expensive one better? And does the cheaper one mean the quality is bad? Well, we can confidently say that some of the car seats ranging from RM100-RM200 can be of good quality, too. It all depends on the materials used and your budget. Do not be scared to not spend too much, you still have many other baby necessities to buy!
iii. Comfort
When buying a car seat for your little one, you need to think if it would be comfortable for them. The three commonly used shock-absorbing materials are the EPP (expanded polypropylene)/EPS (expanded polystyrene)/EPE (expanded polyethylene). Either of the three materials, combined with the PU sponge (a high density sponge), will help cushion the impact as well as provide comfort and breathability for your baby’s skin.
iv. Safety

One important factor contributing to baby car seat safety is the new addition of ISOFIX installations. It will increase the security of the baby car seat to your car, as it will be buckled behind the rear seats, in the joint between the back of the seat and the seat cushion. If your car is also equipped with the third ISOFIX attachment point (buckled behind the rear seat) it will greatly help in avoiding your baby’s seat from tipping forward in the case of collision.
And you’ve probably heard of rear-facing and front-facing car seats, but do you know why this is important for your baby’s safety? These positions are categorized according to your baby’s age and size, hence not following these regulations may cause injuries to your baby. Their upper body needs to be supported with the back of the car seat because their neck and spine are still weak. Hence, for babies up until the age of 2, the rear-facing position will be the safest for them. When your baby is older, you can change to a front-facing position as their spine and neck are now ready to support their sitting posture.
