Top Rated Infant Car Seats Not all infant car seats are created in the same way. The best seats have features that improve crash test performance. For instance load legs are shock-absorbing components that are affixed to the seat or base and help to reduce movement during the event of a collision. A popular choice among CPST instructors is the Chicco KeyFit, which has a weight limit that is high for rear-facing and height limit, a bubble level indicator, and a spring-loaded reclining foot that makes it easy to set up. Graco Mesa Max The Graco Mesa Max ranks as one of the most simple infant car seats to use. It is made of great materials with a simple design and a handy feature that allows you to attach a child's harness to the headrest to make it easier to tighten. It comes with a large canopy that can be tucked away to keep your child sheltered when traveling. The only issue is that it's a little heavier than average this could be a problem if are planning to transport it or want it to pair with your UPPAbaby stroller, which is a winner. The Mesa Max's impressive results in crash tests reflect its dedication to safety. It scored a top score in the frontal impact test and a high score in the side impact test, which means that your baby is protected from both sides in a collision. Another noteworthy safety feature is the Graco's anti-rebound panel, that helps to reduce rebound forces during an accident and protects your child's head. This feature is unique in infant car seats and makes the Mesa Max standout among its competitors. When used with the included base, the Graco Mesa Max can be installed easily and securely in your vehicle by using LATCH. The load leg, the recline angle adjustment and the tightness indicator help ensure an accurate, quick installation. The base weighs 12.6 pounds it is slightly heavier than the average infant car seat but not enough to be an issue. The UPPAbaby Mesa V2 uses the same fabric with the same dual-knit construction as its predecessor. It is free of harmful chemicals that are fire retardant. It has an infinitely adjustable backrest as well as an extremely durable insert for infants weighing 4-11 lbs. The fabric is GREENGUARD gold certified, which ensures low chemical emissions and low VOCs. The UPPAbaby Mesa Max is slightly more expensive than some other alternatives, however it comes with top-quality features and the latest safety technologies for an optimal traveling experience. The base included and a variety of fashionable colorways enhance the value proposition. Its thoughtful design and robust features provide peace of mind for parents on every trip. Britax Boulevard ClickTight The Britax Boulevard ClickTight is a great choice for anyone who wants a car seat that can expand with their child. Its rear-facing limit is 40 pounds, which is higher than the majority of infant car seats. Additionally, it can also be used as a forward-facing child seat until your child weighs 65 pounds. Its biggest selling point is the ClickTight Installation System, which is the safest and easiest to use available. The seat belt can be tightened by pressing a red release button and pulling the strap. This means that there is no need to loosen and rethread the seat belt. This decreases the chance of incorrectly tightening a seat belt which is the main cause of car seat failure. The EZ-Buckle Pad is a further safety feature that keeps the buckle away when you put your child in the car seat. This feature, as well as beltpath cutouts along the sides of the seat, make it easy to get them in and out of the vehicle. All three ClickTight convertible seats (Boulevard, Marathon CT, and Advocate CT) have the identical features. These include the ClickTight Installation System, an impact-absorbing base, with seven recline positions as well as a rip-stitch energy absorbing harness pad, a HUGS tether, a steel-reinforced frame, and EPP energy-absorbing foam. It's a hefty seat, so it might be worth looking at a lighter alternative in case you plan to use it for frequent car swaps or for travel. The seat is quite large, so it might not fit in smaller cars. If you're looking for a budget-friendly seat with similar quality the Graco 4Ever is a great choice. It has lower scores in crash test analysis than the Boulevard but it's a great seat for your little one. The Graco also has connectors with push-on connectors for LATCH which allows you to easily remove the seat. The LATCH connectors on the Boulevard have a different release mechanism, which requires you to press a gray button and pull on the webbing to loosen it. It's not easy to do this if the webbing isn't fitted properly. Push Chairs And Prams has a handy storage compartment for the belt straps. Clek Liing Clek Liing is the ideal infant car seat for you if you want it all: style, safety and convenience. This rear-facing only car seat comes with a great crash test score, a great variety of features, and is easy to install on most vehicles. The Liing is constructed with features that surpass US and Canadian safety standards. It was designed for easy installation and security in any seating position. It also has advanced safety features, such as an energy-absorbing metal leg and two pieces of shell lined with EPP for increased side impact protection. The base comes with 7 recline positions, and an indicator bubble that tells you when the seat is at just the right angle for your child. Parents love the Liing's modern and sleek design and its unique safety features, such as rigid lower anchors that are simpler to attach than hook-and-loop connectors. The Liing comes with a single-handed release, making it easy to remove the base and use it with strollers that are compatible with it. It's also narrow enough to fit three-across many vehicles, and is a good fit in many convertible car seats as a travel boost. The Liing infant seat is rated as 1st for its unique rigid-LATCH system of installation. The lower anchors of the Liing snap into the lower seat belt slots of the vehicle, and the top tether strap snaps on to the headrest of the vehicle. This creates a tight, secure fit which eliminates the chance that the child could be thrown around during an accident. The base weighs 9 pounds and the car seat weighs 10.5 lbs. Some other rear-facing only seats are heavier in weight, but if you're planning to carry this car seat and its base everywhere the slight difference will not be too noticeable (especially when you add a baby to the mix! ). Parents love the Liing's built-in canopy and 100+spf of protection from the sun's rays with mesh peekaboo. Caregivers love the merino cover that keeps babies warm and they also love the ability of the handle to pivot past the canopy which makes it easier for them to grab when needed. Graco Trio Grow SnugLock LX The Graco Trio SnugLock LX is a 3-in-1 car seat that can be used from rear-facing infant, forward-facing harness, and finally to highback booster. It comes with the SnugLock installation system which allows for a smooth and easy install with either vehicle seat belt or lower anchors. It also allows you to use the top tether when in booster mode (although we recommend using the lower anchors at all times for added security). We like that this seat can be used by children of all ages. For babies who are just beginning to crawl it has an infant insert which helps to support their necks and backs. The insert can be removed when the child is older and the seat can be used as a normal car seat for toddlers. This car seat is one of the few that allow you to use the top tether when in booster mode, which we recommend. Its base is fairly compact from front to back, so it shouldn't have any issues fitting in most vehicles. The headrest has 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'll be able to view the position of your headrest in the display window. One of the most impressive features about this seat is the SnugLock installation system that is a bar that is located in the belt path. Installing this car seat with lower anchors is simple, and almost as simple as putting it on the car's seat belt. The manual offers a wonderful illustration on how to route the lower anchor connectors correctly through the new belt pathway which may initially be confusing. Keep them from the chest clip as well as the crotch loop to prevent interference with the buckle system. The Graco Trio Grow is part of the Protect Plus Engineered family, which means it's been tested to some of the most rigorous crash testing in the world. This includes rear, side and rollover crashes, as well the frontal impact tests.
