How to Choose the best infant carrier car seat Car Seat newborn car seat insert

The best car seat newborn is one that meets federal safety standards, is compatible with your car, has useful features (like changing into a stroller) and is within your budget. It's also worth ensuring the infant car seat can be inserted into and out of your car easily, particularly if you often shift between taxis or rides in hire cars and grandparents' vehicles.

Safety

Car seats are designed to ensure your baby is safe and a safe one should include additional features that go beyond the safety standards set by the federal government. These include padded inserts on the shoulders and head as well as air-repellent fabric to keep them cool while driving in hot temperatures.

Installation and use of the seat is another important safety consideration. Ideally, you want to be capable of snapping it in place with minimum effort and with clear indications that it's secure in its place, level, and placed correctly.

There are many features that will help you with this including belt guides and built-in locks which will assist you in aligning the car seat with your vehicle's seatbelt. Avoid purchasing used car seats that might not have been tested for safety or been involved in an accident. They may not be safe for your child. If you have to purchase a used car seat, make sure it's on the expiration date and isn't being sold by a private seller who doesn't have proof of ownership.

Another thing to keep in mind is to only leave your infant in the car seat for no more than two hours per day unless they're in a lying-flat position. This will help prevent strain on the spine of your child, and ensure that they have a chance to breathe regularly.

You'll want a seat to last for a long time, since it's an important investment. Choose a seat that is designed to grow with your child that will last through toddlerhood and through the teen years. One product that our testers for parents loved was the Axkid One i-Size that is suitable from birth and can be used for up to 7 years old.

Nuna pipa air rx is a second option that can be used for a lengthy period of time. It rotates 360 degrees, so you can change it from rear-facing into front-facing as the child grows. It's also among the lightest car seats that rotate on the market, and weighs less than 9 pounds without its base. It's a great option for parents who move their infant frequently between vehicles or are planning to take it on taxi rides, holiday fly-drives, and trips with grandparents.

Comfort

It is essential that your baby feels comfortable in their car seat, both when they are in it as well as when you install it. Choose padded straps that fit snugly around their shoulders. Also, look for plush material that feels comfortable on their stomachs. This is particularly important if you plan to use the seat for a long time.

The best car seat for infants is also simple to use. Some have premium LATCH connectors that feature a SuperCinch force multiplier and tightener. Some come with spring-loaded leveling legs and belt paths that make installing without a base easier than ever. Other features let you adjust the height of the harness and headrest which is crucial as your child grows.

One example is the Cosatto All in All Rotate, which our parent testers gave 10 out of 10 for its ease of use. It has an easy-to-use interface and an easy-to-adjust, no-rethread harness and recline lock indicators and 360-degree rotation. It is possible to easily change your child from rear-facing to front-facing as they grow without having to remove and replace the seat.

Another option is the Nuna Pipa aire rx, which our testers who were parents loved for its convenience, comfort and its versatility. Its padded shoulder straps and headrest are designed to help support the head of your infant, and comes with a soft pillow for comfort. It can be used as a rear-facing car seat until your baby reaches the maximum height or weight limits, and it converts into a stroller without the need for a separate adapter.

A high-quality car seat is durable and some come with a guarantee. Choose a seat made of robust materials and plenty of padding to protect your baby from accidents as well as an aluminum frame that suffocates impact energy and a "crumple zone" to help prevent crash damage. It must also be easy to clean as spills are commonplace when you have a baby. Look for car seats that have removable seat covers and a pad that is machine washable to make cleaning a breeze.

Easy to Use

It is essential that the car seat you choose to purchase is simple to install and use, particularly when it is going to be used in a variety of vehicles periodically. To make it as easy as possible you should look for features like a belt that can be released quickly as well as an indicator to indicate the state of the latch (e.g. green for locked) and a manual that is easy to read.

The best car seats infant of The Bump winner comes with a variety of practical features that our parent testers loved, including an padded headrest and padded harness with a plush material and a cup holder. It has a reclining function that lets your child sit in a comfortable position during longer journeys. It can be used in conjunction with a compatible buggy for a complete travel system. This is ideal for those who plan to travel for a long duration.

Our panelists reported that the car seat was simple to set up and adjust. It comes with a recline lock indicator and a premium LATCH connector with a SuperCinch force-multiplying tightener which made the process of securing your child simple. It's also designed to be easily shifted from side-to-side in the vehicle without the need for tools.

One of our top features is the recline feature that helps you get your infant car seat travel in and out of the car. This is especially useful when you have back problems or drive a car with a small size. It also has a reversible drink holder, as well as a handy storage compartment for snacks and toys.

The seat is light and can be used without or with the base. It can also rotate 180 degrees, which can be a huge help if you are in a tight space or struggle with back pain. This feature was a big hit with our panelists, and it was awarded a place in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards.

This is an excellent option for those who want to convert their car seats into strollers at affordable prices. Its sleek design and high-end fabric will also stand the test time. Make sure to clean the cover frequently as yoghurt spills and biscuits that have been crushed, or even sick accidents with toddlers will leave their marks.

Design

Car seat designs are as varied as the cars they're used in. Some parents opt to not use an baby car seats in favor of a convertible model. However, the majority of new mothers prefer a product that can grow with their child into the age of toddlerhood. The most flexible option is an all-in one baby car seat, which lets you switch between forward-facing and rear-facing. It usually has a higher weight and height limit and can also be used as a booster once your child is old enough.

An ideal infant car seat newborn is lightweight, making it easy to lift from the base and carry with your child. Our testers with parents loved the Maxi-Cosi Coral, which is only available in a few colors, but has a lot of safety features and is incredibly lightweight (at 8.4 pounds with seat inserts and canopy). Other standout models include the Nuna PIPA URbN, winner of Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Car Seat Group 0/0+, thanks to its high-end extras like the Dream drape and full-coverage UPF 50+ canopy.

The base and seat design must be considered. For instance, certain car seats use a special base that locks into the buckles on the seat belts as well as others with steel-reinforced LATCH connectors that flip out from the sides of the base and turn green when attached correctly. Parents found these convenient particularly if their car only had front-facing seatbelts with no ISOFIX anchor points.

Some infant car seats can also be used with a standard seatbelt without the base this is a great benefit for parents who often use taxis or travel with their child. Our testers with parents really liked the Nuna TODL NEXT that can be used with or without the base. It includes a smooth swivel motion that makes it simple to get your baby into and out of the seat.

Other important design considerations include whether a car seat has an open design, and how it fits into your particular car (see our guide to car seat compatibility). If you're in search of a car seat newborn that will grow with your baby into a booster, choose a model with a reclining headrest and side impact protection. Check that the infant car seat you select is iSize compliant and has the proper car seat attachment points as per UK law.
