Convertible car seats are great for parents who wish to keep their baby rear-facing for as long as they want. Most models let the child ride rear-facing until 30 pounds or more. Choose a convertible car seat that meets federal safety standards and has a the weight minimum of 50 pounds.

When shopping for a car seat, it's important to keep in mind that while all car seats must be in compliance with the strict NHTSA safety standards, there are a lot of different models available on the market.

Safety Features

There are a few features when choosing an infant car seat. Whether you want to ensure your baby is safe throughout the entire journey or are in search of an easy-to-use and safe car seat for your child to use for long journeys, it's essential to consider certain aspects. Consider first the height and weight limit of your infant car seat. This will determine the length of time your baby can safely be in the seat. Find a model that is able to accommodate your child's 90th centile measurement before turning one. Also, think about whether you might want to put blankets or coats on the straps of the harness. The AAP cautions against this as heavy clothing may compress during a crash, leaving straps too loose for your child to be secured, increasing the chance of injuries.

You should also consider whether your car seat can be installed with the LATCH system, or a vehicle belt or if it's compatible with other travel systems or strollers. A seat that can easily fit on a base that is compatible is ideal if you intend to use it for the majority of your car rides in order to save time and energy by not having to remove it and reinstall it each time you drive.

This includes premium LATCH connectors that open from the base and change to green when fully connected, plus a SuperCinch force-multiplying strap tightener and an adjustable foot with springs.

Another option that is worth considering is the budget-friendly Baby Trend Secure-Lift We've found it to be just as simple to use as models that cost twice as much. Our testers have been raving about its five-position headrest, height-adjustable that adapts to the size of your baby, no-rethread harness, and magnetic buckle holders.

The car seat you select for your newborn will be a major investment, and you'll use it for a long time. You'll want one that has a high crash test score as well as an analysis score. It should also come with features that will keep your baby comfortable. The Clek LIing is an excellent option for parents who are seeking an infant seat with a rear view that is affordable. It scored extremely high in both our sensor and analysis tests.

Jen Trolio, senior editor at Strategist and mother of two, utilized the Graco Extension2Fit to fit her daughters, who were both from birth up to age six. The harness's adjustable height and size allow it to be adapted to children of all sizes and heights, including taller ones. The seat is compatible with various vehicles, and it has a weight limit of 50 pounds rear-facing.

It does not come with a base like most other seats, but is still extremely simple to put in using either method, thanks to its rigid LATCH connectors that flip out from the bottom of the seat. They automatically turn green when connected to the vehicle. The RAVA is comfortable for babies without rethreads. The buckle holders are magnetic, making it easy to secure the straps without removing your baby from the car seat. LaBracio also liked the recline that has six positions.

Options with a Forward-Facing

Necks of children can be cradled by the seat back in front-facing seats rather than being pushed forward onto the car seat. This is a way to protect them from collisions with the sides. Most car seats allow infants to sit rear-facing until they weigh more than 20 pounds and one year old. Many experts suggest that children remain rear-facing as long as they can. Their neck muscles and bones will be stronger when it's time for them to transition to the front-facing seat.

When looking at options for forward-facing car seats ensure that they meet i-Size requirements, have a cushioned head rest, and a deep harness pocket. Check the maximum height and weight limit, and consider purchasing a car seat that can expand with your child to the position of a booster seat. Certain models come with an all-in-one feature that allows the child to be moved from an rear-facing car seat (with tether and harness) to a forward-facing seat with a harness, and then to a booster seat.

It's important to also consider whether the car seat will fit well in your vehicle, particularly if it has a small trunk or a low clearance. Check the dimensions of the car seat as well as the vehicle owner's manual for the most appropriate fit.

Also, make sure you choose a car seat that provides comfortable and adequate support for your child's body--long trips in the car will be more bearable when they are able to rest comfortably. This may include features such as a reclining seat back and a five-point harness that can tighten from the back of your seat, and a variety of recline positions.

Once you've narrowed your choices down, you'll need to consider the policies for replacement in case of a crash of the car seats you're considering. These can vary from the manufacturer's replacement policy to a case-by -case review.

After you've done your research and determined what kind of car seat you'd like You can begin looking. Look through the selections at your local baby shop or online, and talk to parents of young children to get their suggestions. You can also request an appointment for a Rockridge Kids consultation with a CPST to assist you in choosing the best car seat for a newborn.
