Safety

Every infant car seat on the market must meet federal safety standards. Some seats offer extra features that go beyond the minimum standards. They could include load legs as well as a built-in rethreader sides that support the straps and more. According to the experts I spoke with, the more features a chair includes, the better.

The more intuitive a car seat is, the more likely that parents will use it correctly. This will reduce their child’s risk of injury during a crash. This is particularly important for an infant car seat since it's designed for an extremely short time. Look for a model that's simple to install and has an adjustable recline foot with springs and a bubble indicator to ensure that the seat perfectly level. Also, ensure that the base can be easily clicked into and out of the car.

Other features that top-quality car seat manufacturers provide include an unrethread harness, magnet buckle holders and side grips for carrying the seat. These are great but remember that the safety of your car seat is just as secure as the car you're driving in. You can find tips in the owner's guide on how to secure your child's car seat, and also learn more about the car's safety features.

When choosing an infant car seat, be aware that you will only be able to use it for approximately 2 years before your child is old enough to transition to the convertible seat. Some families opt to not use the infant seat altogether and choose to purchase convertible cars with an increased weight and height limit. If you decide to buy an infant newborn car seat insert seat, make sure to take into account the dimensions of your car and try out a variety of models in person prior to making a decision on one. You can then make sure the seat is suitable for your child, is a good fit in your car and includes handy features such as the ability to convert into a stroller. Make sure you look for recalls on the product before you buy it. It's the most crucial aspect to ensure your child's safety on the road.

Ease of Use

If you're planning to use the seat in a single car or moving it among several, you'll need an infant car seat that is simple to install and detach from the base. Find clearly labeled instructions for installation and an assembly system that functions seamlessly. Also consider how easy it is to adjust the car seat as baby grows and the quality of the materials used.

A great feature that many infant seats come with is a load leg, that acts as an extra brace between the seat's base and car's floor, providing additional stability in the event of an accident. This is a crucial feature to have if you own an older car, as the risk of sustaining head injuries in a crash is higher when an infant is seated close to the floor, according to research by Consumer Reports.

Other features that are premium and can enhance the user experience include a no-rethread harness and anti-rebound bar, which will prevent the seat from rebounding in a crash. The latter has been proven by studies to reduce the risk of head injuries by up to 43 percent. "If you're on a budget and want the security of an ARC-certified car seats with a few key premium features I highly recommend the Evenflo LiteMax," says Babylist gear editor Jennifer LaBracio. The seat has earned an outstanding rating from child safety technicians and comes with an adjustable no-rethread harness and five recline settings, as well as an extendable canopy that can be secured by magnets to provide full coverage.

Another thing to look for is an infant seat that is able to be set up by a lap belt and doesn't require the use of the base. This is ideal for parents who intend to take Uber or taxi rides since it doesn't require them to get back in the car each time to replace a seat. For example, the Nuna Pipa Urbn as well as its equivalent TRIV travel infant car seat system come with an extremely rigid LATCH system built right into the bottom of the seat, making it quick and easy to install in any vehicle. It also can be used with a rear-facing (4-40 pounds) and forward-facing (22-65 pounds) and can be converted to the highback booster or belt-positioning booster with a backless design (40-120 pounds). This is a great option for those on a tight budget.

Comfort

When your baby is stuck in a car seat for a long period of time, it's important they are comfortable. This means straps for the shoulders that are padded as well as soft fabrics that feel snug against their stomachs or back, as well as a sturdier headrest. Also, look for a seat that is easy to adjust as your child gets older.

A seat that has many unique features is usually more expensive but also easier to use. When evaluating a car seat for babies we take into consideration aspects like a single-hand system harness, high-quality LATCH connectors and no rethread harness. We also pay attention to dimensions and weight, since an overly heavy or bulky seat could strain your biceps while you carry it in and out of your car or between cars.

A seat with a load leg - a safety feature that helps stabilize the car seat in the event of a crash--is an alternative. It's usually found in more expensive seats however we've seen a few budget-friendly choices that have this extra safety measure.

The weight and height limits are also crucial. You'll need to ensure that the seat will remain safe for your child when they reach their maximum growth spurt usually between the ages of two and three. You should also consider a convertible infant car seat that can be converted into a toddler seat. This option will give you more flexibility in your car and is ideal for families who frequently switch vehicles or travel.

Our test subjects loved the Doona that incorporates a car seat for infants and stroller into one unit. It's the ideal choice for parents on the go, especially those who commute to work or school on public transport. It's also easy to put in and our experts who tested it were impressed with the ease of use of the one-handed latch system and the shoulder straps that are padded. Our product testers also noted that the seat is incredibly compact, which is important for those who have a small trunk space. It's also free of flame retardant chemicals which is a major advantage for parents concerned with their baby's environment and health.

Convenience

The best infant seats have features that make them easy to use. From buckles that are soft and easy to tighten and loosen to harness height adjusters that automatically raise as your child grows the best infant car seats include convenience features that help parents get in and out with a minimum of fuss. Consider whether the seat can be washed by a machine (to facilitate cleaning) and if it comes with a canopy. This is helpful both in the car and on the stroller.

A feature on the base could save you lots of time and headaches. It will let you know when it's been put in place correctly. This line is located on the base's side and should be parallel to the ground when you're done. This is especially helpful in the event that you will change the car seat often or the baby will be traveling with you and you'll need to connect it to taxis or Ubers.

Another useful feature is the possibility of attaching an appropriate stroller directly to the infant car seat, which makes it much easier to carry your sleeping child from the car to the store or on errands without the need to carry a separate carrier. This is a life-changing feature for parents looking to return to normal after a lengthy journey or a long commute with a child.

If your baby is likely to grow rapidly, choose an infant car seat with an increased weight and height limit than that recommended by the manufacturer. This will allow you to keep the car seat for longer.

While all car seats sold in the United States must meet federal safety standards, it does not mean that all car seats are created to be equal. Certain seats come with additional features, such as load legs that support the base of a car seat to improve stability, and an anti-rebound bars that reduce the risk of head injuries during crashes. Other extras, such as the no-rethread harness or an extendable canopy, could also make for a more relaxing ride for baby and help you become a more relaxed and more secure parent.
