Newborn Car Seats in Malaysia: Infant Carriers and 360° Seats

You need a car seat for the drive home from the hospital. For a newborn you have two choices: an infant carrier that lifts out of the car with your baby inside, or a convertible seat that reclines deeply now and lasts until about 12 years.

Every Quinton car seat is JPJ type approved and carries the E1 E-mark. A newborn must travel rear-facing.

Infant carrier or convertible seat?

Choose an infant carrier if you want to carry a sleeping baby into the house or click the seat onto a stroller. Your baby outgrows it at 87 cm, so you buy a second seat later.

Choose a convertible 360° seat if you want to buy once. It stays in the car, turns to face the door so you can lift your baby in, and lasts to about 12 years.

Why must a newborn face backwards?

A baby's head is heavy and the neck is weak. In a frontal crash, a rear-facing seat spreads the force across the baby's back instead of the neck. R129 i-Size seats keep babies rear-facing to at least 15 months. Read rear-facing vs forward-facing.

Is a newborn car seat required by law?

Yes. Since 1 January 2020, children in private vehicles in Malaysia must use an approved child restraint system. Read car seat law in Malaysia.
