How to Choose the Best Car Seat Newborn

The best car seat for newborns is one that meets federal safety standards, fits your vehicle, comes with useful extras (like changing into a stroller) and works with your budget. It is also important to ensure that the car seat can be easily removed and put into of any vehicle, especially if you are frequently switching between taxis, rental cars or the vehicles of your grandparents.

Safety

A good car seat will have extra features that are above the federal safety standards. These include padded inserts for the shoulders and head as well as air-repellent fabric to help keep them cool in hot vehicles and side-impact protection.

Another important aspect to consider is the ease to set up and use the seat. Ideally, you should be in a position to snap it into place with minimal effort and with clear indicators that it's safe and level, as well as positioned properly.

You can find features that will make this easier like belt guides and built-in locks that will help you align the car seat to your vehicle's seatbelt. Also, you should avoid purchasing used car seats, which may not be tested for crash safety or have been involved in an accident and may not be safe for your child. If you do decide to purchase a used one be sure that it's on the expiration date and isn't being sold by a private seller who doesn't have proof of ownership.

It's also important to remember that you should only leave your child in the car seat for up to two hours per day, unless it's in an upright position. This is to reduce stress on their spine and to ensure they are able to breathe regularly.

You'll need a seat that can last for a long time since it's an important investment. Look for one that's designed to adapt to your child's needs, which will last through toddlerhood and into the teen years. Our testers for parents were pleased with the Axkid i-Size. It is suitable for children as young as birth, and can be used up to age 7.

The Nuna pipa air rx is a different option that can be used for a lengthy time. It has a 360-degree rotation, which means you can move it from rear-facing to front-facing as your child grows.

It's the ideal choice for parents who frequently move their children between vehicles or are planning on using it for taxi rides, fly-drive holidays and trips to grandparent's houses.

Comfort

A well-designed infant car seat is comfortable for your baby both in the seat as well as when you install it. Choose padded straps that fit snugly around their shoulders. Also, look for plush material that feels comfortable under their tummy. This is crucial when you intend to use the seat for a long time.

One example is the Cosatto All in All Rotate test, which our parents scored 10/10 for its ease of use. It comes with an easy-to-use interface, and a simple-to-adjust no-rethread harness and recline lock indicators and 360-degree rotation.

A high-quality car seat is durable and some come with a warranty. Look for a seat with robust materials and plenty of padding to protect your child from any injuries as well as an aluminum frame that suffocates impact energy and a "crumple zone" to reduce the risk of damage. It must also be easy to clean as spills are commonplace with a child. To make cleaning easier, look for a car-seat with removable covers and a machine washable pad.

Ease of Use

A car seats by age seat should be simple to install and use especially if you're going to use it in a different vehicle from time to time. To make it as simple as possible, 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 base and seat design should be considered. Some car seats come with an attached base that is locked into the vehicle buckles for seat belts.
