Top Rated Infant Car Seats Not all infant car seats are made in the same way. The best ones have features that increase the crash test's performance, for instance load legs—shock absorbing parts on the base or car seat that help reduce movement during collisions. Chicco KeyFit is a favorite of CPST instructors. It has an rear-facing weight, a height limit that is high, a bubble-level indicator, and a spring-loaded reclined foot that makes it easy to install.

The Mesa Max's impressive crash test results demonstrate its commitment to safety at the highest level. rear facing infant car seat scored well in both the frontal and side impact tests, meaning that your baby will be safe from both sides of a collision. Another notable safety feature is the Graco's anti-rebound panel which helps reduce the force of rebound during the event of a crash, and also ensures that your child's head is protected. This feature is not common in infant car seats and makes the Mesa Max stand out among its rivals. Graco Mesa Max can easily and securely be mounted in your vehicle with LATCH used with the base included. The load leg, recline angle adjustment, and tightness indicator ensure a quick, accurate installation. The base weighs 12.6 pounds which is slightly heavier than an average car seat for infants but not enough to cause an issue. The UPPAbaby Mesa V2 uses the same dual-knit fabric as its predecessor.

Britax Boulevard ClickTight The Britax Blvd ClickTight is a great choice for parents who want an automobile seat that they 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 weighs 65 pounds. The ClickTight Installation System is its major selling feature. It is the most secure, easiest and most secure system available. The seat belt can be tightened by pressing a red release button and pulling the strap. This makes it unnecessary to unwind and rethread the seatbelt. This reduces the chance of incorrectly tightening the belt that is the main reason for car seat failure. Another safety feature is the EZ-Buckle Pad, which keeps the buckle away from the way when you're putting your child in the car seat. This feature along with beltpath cutouts that are located on the sides of the seat, makes it easy to get your child into and out of the car. The three ClickTight convertible seats (Boulevard, Marathon CT, and Advocate CT) have the identical features. They include the ClickTight Installation System, an impact-absorbing base with 7 recline positions, a rip-stitch energy-absorbing tether, HUGS harness pads as well as a steel reinforced frame and EPP energy-absorbing foam. It's a heavy seat, so it might be worth considering alternatives that are lighter if you intend to use it frequently for car swaps or for travel. The seat is large and could not fit in smaller cars. If you're looking for a budget-friendly seat with similar quality, the Graco 4Ever DLX is a great choice. It has lower crash tests scores than the Boulevard however it is still a great option for your child. The Graco also has connectors that can be pushed on for LATCH, which makes it easier to remove the seat. Boulevard's LATCH connectors have a different release system that requires you to pull on the webbing, then press an orange button. It isn't easy to accomplish this if the webbing isn't fitted properly. This seat has a handy compartment to store the belt straps. Clek Liing Clek Liing is the infant car seat you should consider if you want it all in terms of style, safety and convenience. This rear-facing car seat can be easy to install, comes with a high crash test rating and a variety of features. The Liing is designed to safeguard infants with features that meet and exceed both US and Canadian safety standards. It was designed for easy installation and security in any seating position. It also comes with advanced safety features like an energy-absorbing metal leg and two-piece shell that is lined with EPP for increased side impact protection. The base features 7 recline positions and a trusty bubble indicator that lets you know when the seat is at the proper angle for your baby. The Liing is loved by parents for its modern and sleek design and its unique safety features, such as rigid lower anchors that are easier to connect than hook-and-loop connectors. The Liing also has a handy one-handed release that makes it simple to remove from the base, or to use with various strollers that are compatible with it. With less than 17 inches in width it's small enough to fit 3-across use in most cars and can easily fit into convertible car seats to act as a travel booster. The Liing infant seat is rated 1st for its unique rigid-LATCH installation system. The lower anchors of the Liing click right into the vehicle's lower seat belt slots, and the seat's top tether strap snaps onto the headrest of the vehicle, creating an incredibly secure, tight fit that eliminates any chance of the child being thrown around during an accident. The seat is lightweight, with the base weighing 9 lbs, and the car itself coming in at an easy 10.5 pounds. Other rear-facing seats are heavier, but the difference is not noticeable if you plan to transport the car seat and base around. ). Parents love the Liing's integrated canopy and 100+spf protection from the sun with a mesh peekaboo. Caregivers appreciate the blanket made of merino, which keeps the baby warm and the capability of the handle to move past the canopy. This makes it easier for them to grab the seat if they need to. Graco Trio Grow SnugLock LX The Graco Trio Grow SnugLock LX is a 3-in-1 car seat that can be used from rear-facing infant, to forward-facing harness, and finally to highback booster. It comes with the SnugLock system, which allows for a simple and smooth installation using lower anchors or vehicle seat belts. It also allows you to use the top tether in booster mode (although we recommend using the lower anchors in all times for greater security). We love that this seat is suitable for children of different ages. For younger babies it has an infant insert that helps to help support their necks and backs. The insert can be removed once 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 highly recommend. Its base is pretty compact from front to rear which means it shouldn't be difficult to find a spot for it in most vehicles. The headrest needs to 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. One of the coolest things about this seat is the SnugLock installation system that's a bar that's inside the belt path. This makes installing the car seat with the lower anchors a breeze, and it's almost as easy as using the car seat belt. The manual has a great illustration on how to route the lower anchor connectors correctly through the new belt pathway 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 it has been subjected some of the most rigorous tests in the market. This includes tests for rear, side, and rollover crashes as well as frontal collisions.
