A child car seat in Singapore costs anywhere from $299 to $899, and the price on the sticker is not always the real saving. We read the live prices on Maxi-Cosi's and Britax's own Singapore stores, Motherswork and Kiddy Palace on 13 October 2026 for infant seats, all-in-one seats, boosters and a travel seat.
In Singapore, any child under 1.35m needs a proper car seat or booster in a private car or a Grab.
> Quick view: the one-seat answer is Maxi-Cosi Emerald 360 Pro at $799; the cheapest 360° seat is $299 at Kiddy Palace; and a strike-through price is not always a real saving.
WHAT IT IS: one seat for the whole of childhood. Maxi-Cosi rates the Emerald 360 Pro for 0-12 years, 40-150cm and 0-36kg: rear-facing from birth to about 4 years, forward-facing from 15 months if you prefer, then a high-back booster. It rotates 360° and its SlideTech base slides the seat out towards the door, so you are not twisting into the back seat to buckle a toddler. PRICE: $799 on Maxi-Cosi's own Singapore store (was $999) in Authentic Black, Blue and Truffle; Motherswork has Authentic Black at the same $799.THE CATCH: it is a big, heavy ISOFIX seat that stays in one car. If you swap cars often, a lighter infant capsule plus a booster later is easier to move.BEST FOR: parents who want to buy once and never shop for a car seat again.
$799 (was $999) on Maxi-Cosi's Singapore store in three colours, read 13 Oct 2026. No end date published.
WHAT IT IS: a budget take on the Emerald idea. The i-Max 360 i-Size sold by Kiddy Palace is certified to the newer ECE R129 (i-Size) standard, covers 40-150cm, installs with ISOFIX, rotates 360° and can stay rear-facing for longer, with four recline positions forward-facing. Kiddy Palace says it has a 12.5kg frame and cooling fabric for hot weather. PRICE: $299 (was $399), the lowest price we found for a 360° seat that runs from newborn to booster.FINE PRINT: Kiddy Palace's free delivery above $100 excludes bulky items, so check the delivery fee at checkout, and it does not name the manufacturer on the listing.BEST FOR: families who want rotation and newborn-to-booster coverage without paying $700-plus.

WHAT IT IS: an infant car seat whose wheels fold out from underneath, so it becomes a stroller in a few seconds. You can lift a sleeping baby from a Grab to the pavement without unbuckling. The X version adds three recline positions, a zip-on canopy, shock-absorbing wheels and a side-impact add-on. PRICE: $899 at Motherswork (was $1,299) in Nitro Black, Ocean Blue and Dusty Sage; Forest Green and Terracotta were sold out on 13 October.THE CATCH: it is an infant seat, so it is outgrown within about the first year, and there is no shopping basket. Motherswork's store has no self-collection from 14 Oct to 4 Nov while it relocates.BEST FOR: car-free parents who book private-hire rides and want one thing to carry.
$899 at Motherswork (was $1,299) in three colours, read 13 Oct 2026. No end date published; no self-collection 14 Oct-4 Nov.
WHAT IT IS: a high-back booster for roughly 4 to 12 years, used with the car's own seat belt and with ISOFIX connectors to hold it steady. Cybex says it is the successor to the Solution G i-Fix, which got the best-ever ADAC result for a high-back booster, and claims up to 7x better head protection from its reclining headrest. It folds and stands on its own, so it is easier to move between cars than most boosters. PRICE: $299 at Motherswork (was $399); only Fog Grey was in stock on 13 October.BEST FOR: the step after a toddler seat, especially if the booster has to move between a family car and grandparents' car.
$299 at Motherswork (was $399), Fog Grey in stock, read 13 Oct 2026. No end date published.
WHAT IT IS: Britax Römer's high-back booster for 15-36kg, about 3.5 to 12 years, made in Germany and sold with a 1-year warranty. Like the Cybex, it uses the car belt to hold the child and ISOFIX connectors to hold the seat. PRICE: $436 on Britax's own Singapore store, 14% off its $508.40 list price, in six covers including Pro-Space Black and Pro-Lux Linen Grey.THE CATCH: it costs $137 more than the Cybex Solution G2 for the same job, so pick it if you prefer Britax's fit in your car or one of its fabrics.BEST FOR: parents who want to buy a booster direct from the brand's local store.

WHAT IT IS: a forward-facing toddler seat with a 5-point harness that folds into its own bag and weighs 4.26kg, for 15 months to about 5 years (76-105cm, 9-18kg). It installs with the car seat belt in any car, which makes it the one to pack for a holiday rental car or carry into a pre-booked ride. PRICE: $299 on Maxi-Cosi's Singapore store and at Motherswork.THE CATCH: Motherswork shows it as "was $569", but Maxi-Cosi's own store lists $299 as the normal price, so there is no real saving to rush for.BEST FOR: families who travel, or who mostly rely on private-hire cars and only need a seat now and then.

WHAT IT IS: a rear-facing infant capsule for birth to 13kg (40-83cm), certified to i-Size (R129). The shell weighs just 2.8kg without inserts and canopy, so carrying it from the car to the clinic is easy. It has a one-hand 7-position headrest, automatic side-impact protection and a magnetic sun drape. It installs with the car belt, or clicks onto the Base Next 360 sold separately. PRICE: $399 at Motherswork, no discount.

Every price, colour and stock note was read from the product listings on maxi-cosi.com.sg, britax.com.sg, motherswork.com.sg and kiddypalace.com.sg on 13 October 2026. None of the four stores printed an end date for its markdowns, so prices can change without notice. The legal rule comes from the Ministry of Transport's statements on child restraints. We left out Joie and others whose official Singapore store did not show a live price we could confirm.
Yes. Any passenger under 1.35m tall must be secured in an approved child restraint, booster seat or adjustable seat belt that suits their size. Taxis are the only exception, because street-hail drivers cannot carry seats for every fare. Private-hire cars such as Grab are not exempt, so you need to book a car with a child seat or bring your own.
On 13 October 2026 the cheapest seat we found that runs from newborn to booster was the i-Max 360 i-Size at Kiddy Palace, $299 (was $399), with ISOFIX and 360° rotation. The cheapest name-brand infant capsule was the Britax Baby-Safe Core at $300, and the cheapest booster was the Cybex Solution G2 at $299 (was $399) at Motherswork.
R129, also called i-Size, is the newer European car seat standard. It sizes seats by the child's height rather than weight, requires side-impact testing and keeps babies rear-facing until at least 15 months.
Yes. Private-hire cars are not exempt from the rule for children under 1.35m, because rides are booked in advance. Either book a ride type that comes with a child seat, or bring a portable seat: the Doona X works for babies and the 4.26kg Maxi-Cosi Nomad Plus ($299) for toddlers from 15 months.
