Top Rated Infant Car Seats Not all infant car seats are made in the same way. The top seats come with features that improve crash test performance. For example load legs — shock-absorbing components which are attached to the base or seat and limit movement during an accident. Chicco KeyFit is a favorite of CPST instructors. It comes with an rear-facing weight, a the height limit is high as well as a bubble-level indicator and a spring loaded reclined foot that makes it easy to put in.

It received a high score in the frontal test and a high score in the side impact test, which means your baby is safe from both sides of a collision. Another important safety feature is the Graco's anti-rebound panel that helps to reduce the force of rebound during an accident and safeguards your child's head.

Britax Boulevard ClickTight The Britax Boulevard ClickTight is a great choice for anyone who wants a car seat that will expand with their child. Its rear-facing weight limit is 40 pounds, which is higher than other infant car seats. It can be used forward-facing up to the point that your child is 65 pounds. The ClickTight Installation System is its biggest selling feature. It is the most secure, most simple and secure system available. It allows you to tighten the belt by pressing a red release button and pulling on the harness strap and not having to loosen it, then re-thread. This decreases the risk of a mistake when tightening the belt that is the main cause of failures in car seats. The EZ-Buckle Pad is another security feature that keeps the buckle away when you put your child in the car seat. This feature, along with beltpath cutouts that are located on the sides of the seat makes it simple to get your child in and out of the car. The three ClickTight convertible seat models (Boulevard CT, Marathon CT, Advocate CT) share the same features. These include the ClickTight Installation System, an impact-absorbing base that has 7 recline positions and a rip-stitch energy-absorbing harness pad, a tether that is HUGS as well as a steel reinforced frame and EPP energy-absorbing foam. The seat is quite heavy, however, so you might want to consider a lighter option if intend to use it for frequent swaps of cars. The seat is quite large and therefore may not fit in smaller vehicles. If you're looking for a low-cost seat with the same quality, the Graco 4Ever DLX is a great choice. It has lower crash test scores than the Boulevard but is an excellent option for your child. The Graco has also connectors with push-on connectors for LATCH which makes it easier to take off the seat. Boulevard's LATCH connectors utilize an alternative release system that requires you to pull on the webbing and press a gray button. It can be difficult to do this if your webbing is tight. However the seat comes with a handy storage compartment for belt straps when not in use. Clek Liing If you're looking for an infant car seat that has it all -style, safety as well as convenience and luxuryyou'll be delighted with the Clek Liing. This rear-facing car seat has a high crash test score, a wide variety of features, and is easy to put in within most vehicles. The Liing is designed with features that exceed US and Canadian safety standards. It's engineered to be simple and secure installation – in every seat position. It's packed with safety features that are advanced such as an energy-absorbing metal load leg and two-piece shells lined with EPP foam to provide greater side-impact protection. The base features 7 recline positions as well as a reliable bubble indicator to let you know exactly when the seat is at the right angle for your baby. The Liing is modern, sleek stroller that parents are raving about. It comes with innovative safety features like rigid lower anchors that are much easier to attach than hook-and-loop connectors. The Liing has a one-handed quick release, making it simple to remove the base and use with strollers that are compatible with it. And at less than 17 inches wide, it's narrow enough for 3-across in most vehicles and can easily fit into convertible car seats as a booster. This infant seat scores a solid 1st place for the ease of installation due to its unique rigid-LATCH system. The Liing's lower anchors snap into the lower seat belt slots of the vehicle, and the top tether strap snaps onto the headrest of the vehicle. This results in a secure and secure fit that reduces the risk that the child could be thrown around during a crash. The seat is light, with the base weighing 9 lbs, and the car itself weighing an easy 10.5 lbs. Other rear-facing seats have a much heavier weight, but if you're planning on schlepping this car seat and its base around, the slight difference won't be noticeable (especially when you add a child to the equation! ). Parents appreciate the Liing's built-in canopy and 100+spf sun protection with the mesh peekaboo window. Parents appreciate the blanket made of merino that keeps the baby warm, and the capability of the handle to pivot away from the canopy. This makes it easier for parents to grab the seat when needed. Graco Trio Grow SnugLock LX The Graco Trio SnugLock is an all-in-one seat that converts from rear-facing infant to forward-facing harness and then to an highback booster. It comes with the SnugLock installation system that allows for a smooth and easy installation using either the car seat belts or lower anchors. It also offers the option to use the top tether when in booster mode (although we recommend using the lower anchors in all times for greater security). This seat is great for children of all age groups. For babies who are just beginning to crawl it comes with an infant insert that assists to support their necks and backs. The insert can be removed once the child is older and the seat can be used as a standard car seat for toddlers. This is the only car seats that allow the top tether to be used in booster mode. We highly recommend it. Its base is compact from front to back so it shouldn't have any issues fitting into most vehicles. The headrest needs to be raised in order for the lower anchor webbing to pass through. Thankfully, there's a handy headrest adjustment knob that allows you to accomplish this, and you can see the headrest position in the display window. One of the most impressive features about this seat is the SnugLock installation system, which is a bar that is located inside the belt path. Installing this car seat using lower anchors is simple, and is almost as easy as using the vehicle's seat belt. The manual also has a great illustration of how to properly guide the lower anchor connectors when traversing them along the belt's new path, which may be confusing at first. Keep them away from the chest clip and the crotch loop in order to avoid interfering with the buckle system. The Graco Trio Grow is part of the Protect Plus Engineered family, which means it's been subjected to some of the most rigorous crash testing in the market. This includes side, rear and rollover crashes, as the frontal impact tests.
