How to Choose the Best Infant Car Seat
What do you want from your seat? "If you are looking for a car seat to develop with your child you should consider an all-in-one model such as the Graco 4Ever DLX," Saxton suggests. The seat can be transformed to a high-back booster or an unbackless booster. It has a large rear-facing weight limitation.
It also scores highly in terms of comfort and quality, thanks to soft, machine-washable padding. Other useful features include load legs that absorb shock on the base or in the car seat that limit the impact of a crash.
Safety
The infant car seats are designed to fit small babies best, and so they typically come with more padding and cushioning than convertible carseats. They are also smaller and lighter to remove from the car or attach to a stroller frame which is crucial since you will need to transport your child in the seat outside of your vehicle often. Car seats for infants have the advantage of being designed to last for the first year of your child's life, so you don't have to worry about them outgrowing their height or weight limits in the same way that convertible car seats can.
It is a good idea, however, to conduct some research before you purchase. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has strict standards for car seats. Consider reading reviews from other parents as well as looking through safety guidelines from groups such as Consumer Reports and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, both of which have a wealth of crash testing data to share with families.
You should also consider whether the seat has features that could be especially beneficial for your family, like the strap release that is one-handed and a harness with no rethread or an adjustable foot with springs. These features can make it easier to buckle up your child, but keep in mind that even the safest seats can be dangerous in the event that they aren't used properly.
The weight and width of the car seat are also crucial. A lot of infant car seat in front seat seats can be put in your car alongside older car seats. Others can be able to grow with your child and can be converted to a booster in the same time. If you intend to use your car seat to travel or to take taxis, an infant car seat that is installed using only the seat belt of your vehicle is a convenient option.
In general it's best to buy the safest seat you can afford, because the most affordable models don't meet the most rigorous safety standards for crash safety. Beware of models that don't include side impact tests, and allow manufacturers to self-certify.
Convenience
The best car seats for infants are those that fit in the car of your family, are simple to install, and have convenient extras such as a built-in jogging stroller or a rotation feature. It should be affordable. Infant seats range between $180 to more than $500. If they're convertible and are intended for both infants and toddlers, the price can be higher.
The convenience features include the ability to be fitted with the LATCH system or a seatbelt. Additionally, if you can adjust the headrest and harness without removing the baby from the seat. Installing and removing the seat should be easy, especially if your child rides in Ubers or you often switch between cars. The seat should be light, with clearly labeled instructions for installation and bubble levels to assist you in quickly install the car seat.
It should be easy to adjust the buckles and harness, as well as turn the seat around when it is not in use. It is also essential to verify the height and weight limits of the infant car seat prior to you purchase it, and think about whether your baby will outgrow it by its first birthday. It is generally recommended to select a seat for your child that grows with them until they reach 90% percentile.
Some manufacturers go over the federal safety standards and include additional features like crash-testing, convenience and comfort in their car seats. The Clek Ling, a top choice among our gear editors and Consumer Reports is a great example of a baby seat that provides more than just excellent crash protection. It also comes with an extra load leg that can help stabilize the seat in a crash and reduces forces on the body of the child by 40%. This feature could save a child’s life. It's worth it to invest more in car seats that have convenience features and safety.
Comfort
One of the most important factors when selecting an infant car seat is the comfort, as infants spend a lot of time in their car seats. The most comfortable ones feature comfortable, breathable fabrics and ample padding on the harness and headrest. They also have simple adjustment mechanisms, such as strap covers, buckles, and headrest adjustments that do not require rethreading.
The weight and size of the infant car seat will also affect comfort especially if it's being used in multiple vehicles or for frequent travel. Some models are more narrow than others, which makes them easier to fit into the back of the car with a car seat or your siblings seats. While all have minimum and maximum heights and weight limits, some are lighter than others, which could help keep your biceps from becoming sore when you carry it around town or between vehicles.
Certain infant car seats come with additional features to make them more versatile. For example they can be rotated or be clicked into a stroller, without the need for adapters. Some models come with high-end features, such as an adjustable strap that doesn't rethread or anti-rebound bar to provide extra security in the event of an accident. While these additional features aren't essential to an enjoyable ride, they can contribute to the overall experience using the seat.
Parents want their infants to be comfortable and have a clean car seat. They also care about safety and convenience. Look for a model that's machine washable and stain-resistant as well as easy to clean. Some seats are dishwasher safe, which makes it even easier to keep them looking clean.
Certain models go over and beyond to ensure their customers have a safe and comfortable experience. For example the Graco SnugRide (tm) Elite has an anti-rebounding bar that is able to meet Graco ProtectPlus Engineered(tm) which is designed to withstand rear and front collisions. The seat features a Silent Shade canopy to keep baby quiet and comfortable and has an indicator that lets you know that the seat is securely attached. And, its adjustable harness tightener and carry handle allow for simple one-handed adjustments.
Design
Car seat manufacturers design rotating infant car seat car seats with safety and comfort in mind, however the myriad of features available can make it difficult to determine which one is the best fit for your family. You'll need to take into consideration factors like weight and height limits, as well as the number of buckles and belt paths. Additional features like an load legs, anti-rebound bars and no-rethread straps could raise the cost of the seat, but they will improve the comfort of your infant. Look for features that make it easier to get your child in and out of the car seat, for example rotational mechanisms. Also, pay attention to dimensions and base weight because not all seats fit in every car.
One of the most important aspects is the ease of installation and disconnecting from the base. This is affected by the quality of the LATCH connectors as well as whether they are rigid or flexible. You'll also want to consider whether the straps are simple to loosen and tighten, and whether there's a single hand release mechanism for removing and installing the seat.
Some models let you use the seat without a footrest, which can be useful when you plan to switch taxis or cars frequently. To ensure that your seat is correctly installed, look for models with bubble level indicators as well as a integrated locking mechanism.
Other features worth the extra cost include a headrest that increases with the growing baby as well as a recline that can be adjusted to five positions and an extendable canopy that locks into the position. Our product testers also said the fact that a seat can be used for a highback booster using belt positioning or a backless booster after the baby has completed using it is a nice bonus.
The Doona is the type of infant car seat that pampers parents. It has many features that solve almost every complaint parents have about infant car seats. This is the reason our test participants gave it top marks across the board. It's affixed for air travel and comes with an anti-rebound handle and can be converted directly into a stroller. The crash test results are impressive and it's GREENGUARD Gold Certified.
