The Jane Matrix Light car seat is an innovative, multifunctional car seat which can be used in your car in a carrycot format, or as a car seat. It's installed using the car's adult seat belt, and creates a 'lie-flat' position for your baby to travel in. Car seat experts say this is the best position for newborns and young babies to be in - not only for comfort, but also to help their breathing. We reveal how it did in our crash tests.
