Many nations have made the usage of baby car seats mandatory. For instance, The NHTSA is in charge of supervising infant and newborn car seat safety in the US.

Europe is Expected to Grow Considerably

Moreover, the market is being further stimulated by governmental legislation and regulations that place a priority on children's safety. Players in the European market are incorporating cutting-edge features into infant car seats in addition to safety features, such as side protection, ventilation systems, pushchair adapters, anti-rebound bars, and built-in lock-offs, which are anticipated to further accelerate market expansion.

UK is expected to hold Significant Share

The demand for bay car seats is expanding in the country as a result of the government's encouragement of laws requiring baby car seats to be used in vehicles to protect children, as well as the initiatives taken by car seat manufacturers to create and design cutting-edge car seats. As per the United Kingdom local government association report published in 2022, England witnessed the largest number of accidents with a three-year average of 1, 694. Simultaneously, an average of 291 children were injured in North West and 188 in London.

As a result, the parents are recommended to wait until their child is 150cm before letting them wear the car seatbelt. In the UK, a car seat must be authorized by the EU.
