It's important to choose the best infant car seat because you'll use it for your child's very first year. It's important to consider safety guidelines from organizations such as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). You can also rely upon resources such as Consumer Reports and advice from other parents.

Apart from confirming the NHTSA rating and the vehicle's fit, look for an infant car seat that's easy to install and assemble, easy to get your baby in and out of, has comfortable padding, and convenient features. Some of the top infant car seats have self-checking mechanisms which give you either a color or bubble to let you know you've installed it correctly--super beneficial for exhausted parents.

It is important to consider the dimensions of the seat as well as weight limits. If you plan to use the car seat for an extended period, you should choose a seat that can accommodate up to 90th percentiles of weight and height. You won't determine what your child's preference is until you've used the seat, but make sure you choose plush materials and thick padding that feels nice against their skin.

They can also give you advice on the proper fitting and comfort for your child and help you understand the policies regarding crashes of each brand.

Safety

While every car seat on the market has to adhere to federal safety standards, there are lots of factors that can make one infant car seat more or less safe than the other. Selecting the right car seat for your baby starts by ensuring that it meets the manufacturer's height and weight requirements and also the requirements of your vehicle's. It is also recommended to consult the manual of your car to learn how to install the seat using the lower anchors and tethers (or seat belts, in older vehicles with no LATCH). Next, you should look for features such as anti-rebound bars or load legs which reduce crash forces. You'll also want to consider whether you can afford to live with the convertible car seat which will eventually turn into a toddler's seat.

When it comes to safety, the most important factor is that your baby's seat is installed correctly. It's essential to read the user instructions and watch the installation videos online before trying to install a car seat. Also, remember that it's always recommended to have a professional inspect your car seat, even if you've installed it correctly.

The simplest method to make a vehicle seat more secure is to make it more comfortable to use. A car seat that is user-friendly will be more likely to be used properly, so check for easy-to-read directions and useful features such as handles that hold the straps or buckles that have sensors that let you know when your child hasn't yet sat down.

Similarly, make sure you purchase car seats from a reputable store or website. It's not recommended to purchase car seats from a variety of sellers, or from websites that ship directly out of China. In addition, you should avoid used car seats as they could be old or have been in an accident.

It is also a vital factor, as driving can be stressful for a young baby. Find a seat with plush fabrics and padded straps that are comfortable on the shoulders and neck. You should also think about the weight of the seat -- you want to be able to lift it and carry it without hurting yourself, especially if you are planning to use it for long periods of time.

Comfort

A quality car seat isn't just a thing that safeguards your child, it should also be comfortable for your baby. Look for features like thick padding with a reversible harness, easily adjustable straps, and ventilation holes that will keep your baby cool. The factors that determine comfort can be subjective, so it's important to read online reviews and try out the seat for yourself before buying.

Another thing to consider is weight. While the majority of infant car seat swivel car seats on the market meet federal safety standards, some are heavier than others. This is especially important in the event that you plan to use the seat in multiple vehicles or attach it to stroller frames. For example the Nuna Pipa Aire RX is the lightest convertible infant car seat on the market at 6.2 pounds without canopy and base. It was recently replaced by a slightly less expensive, yet still secure Pipa Lite Aire.

The seat is narrower than other models, which is good for most vehicles, but can be a problem when you have an extremely small trunk or a vehicle with limited space in the back. The shoulder straps aren't adjustable in height, and the belt guides do not provide enough padding to stop the shoulders of your child from being pushed around.

Overall, the seat is easy to install and fits most newborns with ease. It has a higher limit for rear-facing than most other seats, and is easy to switch between the reclined positions. It's priced around the middle of the market for a baby car seat but it has a stellar reputation for quality and comes with two cupholders.

The process of choosing a car seat for your infant is a challenge because there are numerous options. However, you don't have to be overwhelmed if you conduct your research prior to buying. Take into account your vehicle fit with safety and comfort features, and price. You can find the best car seat for your child by taking into consideration these aspects. No matter how good the car seat, it's not as secure when you don't install it correctly.

Ease of Installation

Installing car seats correctly is crucial to keep your baby secure. We take into account the ease of installation when selecting the best car seat for a baby. Many of the best infant carseats have self-checking features, such as color or bubble indicators that tell you whether the car seat is securely installed, saving the risk of making dangerous mistakes. Some have self-checking functions on the base. This can be especially beneficial if you are switching the seat frequently between vehicles.

The most effective infant car seats allow you to adjust or loosen the harness straps, without the necessity of an instrument or manual. This feature is especially useful for babies or preemies who need a tight harness to ensure proper support. A well-tightening system that is smooth is vital to avoid frustration when you have a child who isn't cooperative and need to fasten the seat quickly.

The best infant car seats newborn seats are easy to lug around, and we love models that don't feel too heavy when you have a child in them. It isn't easy to carry a car seat that is too heavy, and can cause back and arm pain. Select the right seat within your weight range.

We also consider the width and weight of the base and the seat itself, as you don't want to purchase a seat that's too large for your vehicle or require some difficult maneuvering to get it out and in. We prefer seats that are narrower and can be tucked into three or two rows. They also tend to be less likely than larger seats to rub against each other.

Chicco KeyFit is our favorite model in this category. It has received a high rating from parents and experts including CPST teacher Kecia Healy. The KeyFit range has features that make installation simple including the foot recliner that is spring-loaded as well as a bubble gauge that is located on the base. Healy praises the tightening mechanism, which uses the SuperCinch belt-tightening mechanism to make it easier for the seat to be secured in the right place.
