Car seats: The new Maxi-Cosi AxissFix car seat offers rear-facing travel for children up to 87cm in height (about two years old) and it can swivel a full 360 degrees on its IsoFix base, which makes life easier for parents when securing babies or toddlers in the seat.

Suitable from around four months, up to age four, the seat has four recline positions and side-impact protection. It costs €399 and is available in three colours, black, pink and blue, exclusively from Mothercare; www.mothercare.ie
