Top Rated Infant Car Seats Not all infant car seats are created equally. The most effective ones have features that improve the performance of crash tests, such as load legs, which are shock absorbing components on the base or car seat that help reduce movement during a collision. Chicco KeyFit is a favorite of CPST instructors. It comes with an upper-right rear-facing weight and a height limit that is high, a bubble-level indicator, and a spring loaded reclined foot that makes it easy to install. Graco Mesa Max The Graco Mesa Max is one of the top infant car seats due to its convenience of use. It is an easy-to-use design and top fabrics. It also has an excellent feature that allows you to attach the child's harness directly to the headrest. It has a large canopy that can be tucked away to keep your child sheltered while traveling. It's a bit heavier than a standard stroller, which is a problem if you want to carry it around, or use it with your award-winning UPPAbaby. Mesa Max's remarkable results in crash tests show its commitment to safety. It scored a high mark in the frontal test, and a top score in the side impact test, which means that your baby is protected from both sides of a collision. Another important safety feature is the Graco's antirebound panel, which helps reduce rebound forces during the event of a crash, and also safeguards your child's head. This feature is unique among infant car seats, and makes the Mesa Max standout among its rivals.

Britax Boulevard ClickTight The Britax Blvd ClickTight is a fantastic choice for parents looking for a car seat that their child can grow with. The rear-facing weight limit is 40 pounds which is higher than many infant car seats. It can be used forward-facing as well until your child reaches 65 pounds. Its most prominent selling point is the ClickTight Installation System, which is the most secure and simple to use available. The seat belt can be tightened by pressing a red release button and pulling the harness strap. This means that there is no need to remove and rethread your seat belt. This minimizes the possibility of not tightening correctly the belt that is the most common cause of failures in car seats. Another security feature is the EZ-Buckle Pad, which holds the buckle in place when you're putting your child in the car seat. This feature, as well as beltpath cutouts on the sides of your child's seat, make it easy to get them into and out of the vehicle. All three ClickTight convertible seats (Boulevard, Marathon CT, and Advocate CT) have the same features. ClickTight Installation System is one of them. Also included are an impact-absorbing frame that can accommodate seven recline positions. The seat is quite heavy, though, so you might want to consider a lighter option if intend to make use of it for travel or frequent swaps of cars. Also, the seat is large, and therefore may not be suitable for smaller vehicles, particularly when it's in the rear of the vehicle. If you want a more affordable option that is comparable to take a look at the Graco 4Ever DLX. The seat has lower crash test analysis scores than the Boulevard but it's a great seat for your baby. The Graco has also connectors with push-on connectors for LATCH which allows you to easily remove the seat. Boulevard's LATCH connectors use a different release mechanism that requires you to pull on the webbing and press a gray button. It isn't easy to accomplish this if the webbing is tight. However this seat comes with a handy storage cubby for the belt straps when they are not in use. Clek Liing If you're in search of a child car seat that has everything -style, safety convenience, and luxury- you'll love the Clek Liing. This rear-facing only car seat has a high crash test score, an impressive range of features and is easy to put in within most vehicles. The Liing is designed to protect infants with features that meet and exceed both US and Canadian safety standards. It is designed for easy, secure installation in all seating positions. It also features advanced safety features, such as an energy-absorbing metal leg and a two piece shell that is lined with EPP for enhanced side impact protection. The base features seven recline positions and a bubble indicator that tells you when the seat is at just the right angle for your baby. The Liing is loved by parents for its modern and sleek design, and also its innovative safety features, such as rigid lower anchors that are much easier to attach than hook-and-loop connectors. The Liing features a one-handed release, making it simple to remove the base and connect it to strollers that are compatible with it. It's also small enough to fit three-across several vehicles, and it can be easily inserted into a convertible car seats for an extra boost for travel. This infant seat scores first place for ease of installation thanks to its unique rigid-LATCH system. The lower anchors of the Liing click directly into the lower seat belt slots, and the seat's top tether strap snaps onto the vehicle's headrest to create an extremely secure, tight fit that eliminates the possibility of the child being thrown around in the event of a crash. The base weighs 9 lbs and the car seat weighs 10.5 lbs. Other rear-facing seats are heavier, however, the difference isn't evident if you intend to transport the car seat and base around. ). Parents love the Liing's built-in canopy and 100+spf of protection from the sun's rays with a mesh peekaboo. Parents appreciate the blanket made of merino that keeps the baby warm and the capability of the handle to pivot past 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 system which allows for a simple and smooth installation using lower anchors or car seat belts. It is possible to install it using the top tether in booster mode. (We recommend using the lower anchors for additional security.) We like that this seat does so much for children of all ages. For infants it comes with an infant insert that assists to help support their necks and backs. When they get older, this insert can be removed and the seat is used as a normal car seat for toddlers. This is the few car seats that allow the top tether to be used in booster mode. We recommend it. Its base is quite compact from front to rear and it shouldn't be hard to find a space for it in the majority of cars. The headrest must be raised to allow the lower anchor webbing to pass through. There's a knob that is handy to adjust the headrest and the display window shows the position of the headrest. The SnugLock system is among the most exciting features of this seat. It's a bar that is in the belt path. Installing this car seat with lower anchors is simple, and almost as simple as using the vehicle's seat belt. The manual provides a fantastic illustration of how to run the lower anchor connectors in a correct manner through the belt path which may initially be confusing. Keep them clear of the chest clip as well as the crotch loop to avoid interfering with the buckle system. The Graco Trio Grow belongs to the Protect Plus Engineered Family, which means that it has been put through some of the most rigorous testing in the industry. This includes tests for side, rear and rollover accidents as well as frontal impacts.
