Best Infant Car Seat Malaysia
1. Little One Exclusive CSA 4 In 1 Baby Car Seat
At less than RM100, the quality of the rear-facing Little One Exclusive CSA 4 In 1 Baby Car Seat is still acceptable.
Not to mention how versatile this car seat is! Thanks to it being lightweight as stated by many users. Therefore, it can also serve as a baby carrier, a rocker or for feeding.
A few users also mentioned how soft and thick the cushions are. Comfortable enough for their babies to sleep soundly!
And according to reviews, the car seat suits newborns too.
Plus points aside, it comes with a 3-point safety harness system. Which isn’t ideal for children below the age of 6 years old.
Some reviews also say that it might not suit babies over 12 months old. Despite the recommended age of up to 18 months. The reason being it might be too small.
So if you can afford to, choose another car seat with a better safety harness system and that can grow with your child. Like the BabyGo Exclusive Baby Car Seat with a 5-point safety harness system!

With the 360-degree rotation (reversible) feature, you can easily breastfeed or give your child their baby milk powder formula in the car too! It is also easy to put your child on the seat too!
Also, the Quinton Smart 360 Isofix Safety Car Seat is highly versatile with 5 recline positions and just as many front-facing positions!
It’s technically able to support your kid from birth right until they’re 12 years old! Since it has an adjustable headrest (11 positions)!
However, bear in mind that the seat can only incline up to 145 degrees. Which makes it unsuitable for babies below 1 year (i.e. too upright).
As for cushion support, users say the padding is soft, smooth, and thick. Which helps their baby to sleep well and be comfortable. They say the material is quite cooling too!
From the hundreds of high ratings on Lazada and Shopee combined, we think the Quinton Smart 360 Isofix Safety Car Seat is a popular choice for a baby car seat that is ISOFIX compatible!

The covers are removable and washable. It is soft so your baby will be very comfortable and fall asleep easily. Great for long drives!
One user particularly loves how the baby car seat can change into multiple positions. For their kid to lie down or sit upright!

There are 2 front-facing positions and 1 rear-facing position for the Sweet Cherry LB303 Dean Car Seat.
It comes with removable cushions to suit your child as they grow older. The baby car seat can last long too. As one user says it lasts for up to 5 years. Even with regular use.
Since it is very comfortable, users share that their newborn babies fall asleep pretty quickly. And there are many users satisfied with the value they get from this baby car seat!
Thus, this is another of our highly recommended car seat for newborns.
As long as you don’t need it to be ISOFIX-compatible! Mind the short warranty too.

This baby car seat is not compatible for an ISOFIX system. It does however, sport a 5-point harness system. Which is always good to have!
And it won’t leave your baby feeling too warm or hot as the fabric is cooling and soft. Even with the substantial padding.
Do take note that the seatbelt may not be too comfortable for babies. And it may be slightly too large for newborns too.
Because putting on this seatbelt is similar to how you would wear a backpack on your shoulders. Which is not the most practical for a baby! As one user points out!
Therefore, the BabyGo Exclusive Baby Car Seat is better suited to toddlers, rather than babies!

The Mamakiddies Infant Baby Comfisafe Convertible Car Seat may be a tad too small. The seatbelt may feel tight when secured on.
However, this is a pretty solid car seat with 4 years’ warranty! Plus, you can adjust it to 4 different reclining angles!

Another local baby car seat brand you can check out in Malaysia is Sweet Heart Paris.
The quality of the Sweet Heart Paris CS226 Baby Car Seat is similar to a more expensive car seat. Although it can’t be set up together with an ISOFIX system.
Despite that, it’s not difficult to fix this in your car! Because it comes with a manual that is straightforward and clear! And has a handy color guide that you can follow along with as you install the seat!
Installing demonstration:
Moreover, the padding is firm but not uncomfortable. Babies can sleep well without extra pillows needed! The baby car seat has a recliner button to easily recline the seat too.
Overall, another great choice for a baby car seat if you are an inexperienced parent with a budget of RM200!
It’s worth noting that the comparable Mamakiddies Infant Baby Comfisafe Convertible Car Seat has the longer warranty between the two car seats though!

8. Sweet Heart Paris DRANCY Baby Car Seat
From the numerous positive reviews on this particular baby car seat in Malaysia:
You can tell that this is also a best-selling product by Sweet Heart Paris!
Promo video:
Kids may actually look forward to sitting in this one until they’re at least 3 years old (despite what the label claims)! Reviews mention that it’s also suitable for children around the age of 1!
With all the positive reviews, one thing to take note of is that the padding is quite thick. And may be too hard for some babies. But it is well-padded for the child’s safety.
Yet it is simple to install and feels lightweight too. So you won’t have trouble placing it in your car!
We just wish that the claim that it can fit 7-year-olds was true!
- Category: Group 0/0+, 1 And 2
- Support Weight: Up to 25kg
- Age: Up to 7 years old
- Installation Type: Seatbelt
- Type: Rear-facing & Forward-facing

Best Booster Car Seat Malaysia
9. Evenflo SUTTON 3 In 1 Combination Seat EV 906F
If you have a smaller car like a Suzuki Swift or even a Myvi:
The Evenflo SUTTON 3 In 1 Combination Seat EV 906F will fit nicely! As it is quite slim and lightweight.
There’s also an ECE label at the back which confirms the credibility.
You won’t have trouble installing this baby car seat as it comes with a detailed manual too. In addition, it is very smooth and easy to tighten the belt without it getting stuck.
Your child may not be very comfortable in it for long journeys though! Because of the slightly thin and stiff padding. So you may feel the need to add an extra cushion on the seat for longer distances.
The back seat can’t be reclined too, so it will always be fixed at a straight angle.
Definitely not our top pick for long distance travels or for infants. But for the occasional excursion with a toddler or young children, it will do the job!
- In 2016, Evenflo recalled more than 50,000 Transitions 3-in-1 Combination Booster Seat. Because children sitting in these seats are able to loosen the harness by themselves.
- We think that recalls are not necessarily a bad thing. As they force the company to address (and prevent) inherent design flaws.

- Age: 9 months to 6 years old
- Support Weight: 9 – 36kg

10. Joie Elevate Booster Car Seat
After infancy, you can start using the Joie Elevate Booster Car Seat meant for kids between 9kg to 36kg. That means you can use it as a booster seat for 3 to 12 year old children!
It stays put after installation (which does not take long either). Only by seatbelt and not via ISOFIX!
When installed correctly, it is quite stable and does not move around in the car. The shoulder pads help to stop your child from slipping too!
Demonstration video (with different aged child models):
It also comes with a convenient cup holder for your child’s milk bottle or drink!
The bottom seat padding may not be comfortable enough for long drives, though. As it is not thick enough. Hence, the seat may feel too low for your kid too.
A closer look at the features:
However, you can still look into this if you have a toddler and a budget of RM500! And if you will only be taking them on quick trips!

A cheaper alternative to the previous child booster seat:
Is the Sweet Heart Paris CS257 2 In 1 Detachable Booster Baby Car Seat. It’s big and comfortable. Even for a 5 year old. Something to think about if you plan to travel frequently with your child.
And the seatbelt location is nicely indicated as well!
It is easy to install for experienced parents, and affordable if you are under a tight budget!
Promo video:
But if you are a first-time parent or have never installed a baby car seat before, it might be difficult for you to understand the manual or follow instructions from the video above.
Furthermore, if you want to recline the level of the seat, it can’t be locked.
Other than this, some users feel that the lightweight seat can still move. And encourage others to invest in a higher quality baby car seat, if possible!
- Category: Group 1, 2 And 3
- Age: 15 months to 11 years old
- Support Weight: 9kg to 36kg

12. Chicco Gro-Up 123 Booster Car Seat
It’s quite a shame that the sturdy Chicco Gro-Up 123 Booster Car Seat has a limited reclining capability. Because the padding is plush with breathable fabric!
And this car seat is meant for a wide age range due to the adjustable belts and headrest. As long as they’re above the 9kg mark!
In fact, the 5-point harness can be adjusted to suit your kid as they grow. Without causing them any discomfort (e.g. feeling too tight) according to one review!
As kids get older, they should be able to climb to this seat by themselves too.
Promo video:
The Chicco Gro-Up 123 Booster Car Seat comes with a complete manual so you can easily install the car seat without any confusion.
Reclining the seat is easy, as the level is placed conveniently at the front of the seat!
Your baby will feel very comfortable even on trips that take more than an hour. But it cannot recline back far enough. And thus, is not that adept at supporting the head for long naps.
So we would not advise this particular baby car seat for longer journeys.
However, if your kid thoroughly enjoys looking at their surroundings all the time, this will not be an issue at all!
Speaking of head rest, that twisty knob at the top of the baby car seat is actually very easy to use!

And a more recent recall in 2020 for their RECARO TIAN (CORE and ELITE) car seats (from Aug 2020 onwards). For an issue related to the harness design.
It’s nice to know that they actively take responsibility for their car seats!
That aside, the Recaro Young Sport Hero Booster Car Seat has a height-adjustable backrest enables the seat to “grow along” with your child!
It features an ergonomic foam seat commonly used in the automotive industry. The seat provides good contour support. Making it comfortable enough for kids of all sizes.
Demonstration video:
