A newborn’s first car ride is always an emotional and unforgettable moment — and it begins the day you leave the maternity hospital. While the distance may be short, its importance is immense: this is where your child’s journey of safe travel truly begins. And at the heart of it all is the car seat — a specially designed infant seat made for vehicle transport.

It All Starts with a Car Seat

As Dr. Tamar Kokaia, pediatrician at Gagua Clinic, explains:

“So many things happen for the first time here — the first cry, the first cuddle, and yes, the first journey. And with that, our care for the baby’s safety must begin.”

The moment a newborn leaves the hospital marks a new chapter for the whole family — one that’s filled not only with joy but also with responsibility. Ensuring your baby’s safety during transport becomes a priority from day one. A newborn’s body is incredibly delicate: their muscles are not yet developed enough to protect them against sudden movement or impact.

That’s why holding a baby in your arms or placing them in a regular car seat is a serious risk. Standard seatbelts simply can’t secure a baby’s body properly, and even a minor accident or sudden stop can have dangerous consequences.

True safety begins with that very first trip. And the only reliable solution at this stage is an infant car seat from the 0–13 kg category. These seats are specially designed for newborns, mirroring the baby’s anatomy and providing essential protection on the road.

Infant Car Seats: Your Baby’s First Line of Defense

Car seats in the 0–13 kg category are developed with the specific needs of newborns in mind. Their purpose goes far beyond convenience — they perform several critical functions:

• they mirror the baby’s anatomical form;
• they support the head, neck, and spine;
• they position the baby correctly to ensure stability and comfort.

These car seats are more than just comfortable — they are thoughtfully engineered to accommodate a baby’s physiological needs. A properly chosen car seat isn’t just an accessory; it’s a life-saving necessity.

As Lana Giorgidze, director of Your Car Seat, an organization focused on child safety, emphasizes:

“A properly selected and installed infant car seat can reduce the risk of fatal injury by up to 90%. It acts like a protective shell, designed to match a baby’s body and safeguard the areas that matter most.”

A Car Seat That Protects Life

Infant car seats in the 0–13 kg group are installed rear-facing only — and this is no coincidence. This position helps distribute the force of impact across the baby's back, neck, and head in case of a collision or sudden braking. It’s a crucial feature, especially for newborns, whose bodies are not physically prepared for such forces.

Dr. Tamar Kokaia reminds us:

“A car seat isn’t just about comfort — it’s a matter of life and health.”

Some parents still think of a baby car seat as an optional extra. In reality, it’s a vital safety system that could make all the difference in that one unexpected, critical moment. An infant car seat is made to protect your baby precisely when they need it most.

How to Choose the Right Infant Car Seat

When selecting a child car seat for your newborn, pay close attention to the following:

• Does it meet safety certification standards (such as ECE R129)?
• Is it compatible with your car model?
• Can it be installed on an ISOFIX base?
• Is the installation process easy and secure?
