How to Choose the Best Car Seat NewbornThe best car seat for a baby is one that meets all safety standards of the federal government and fits your vehicle. It should also have practical extras, such as the ability to convert into a stroller, and be within your budget. You should also make sure that the car seat can be easily clicked into and out of any vehicle, particularly when you’re constantly switching between rental cars, taxis or the vehicles of your grandparents.SafetyCar seats are made to protect your baby, and a good one should come with additional features that go beyond the safety standards set by the federal government. These include padded inserts for the head and shoulders and air-repellent fabrics that help keep them cool in hot vehicles, and side-impact protection.Another crucial safety aspect is the ease to set up and use the seat. Ideally, you should be able to snap it into place with minimal effort and with clear indicators that it’s safe and level, as well as positioned properly.Find features that help you accomplish this, such as locks built-in to the seat and belt guides that help you line up the car seat with the vehicle’s seat belt. You also want to avoid buying used car seats that might not have been tested for safety or have been involved in an accident and may not protect your child. If you must purchase an used car seat ensure that it has an expiration and that the seller is not an individual or a private party who has no evidence of ownership.It’s also important to keep in mind that you should only allow your baby in the car seat up to two hours per day, unless you are in an upright position. This is to prevent stress on their spine and to ensure that they have the chance to breathe regularly.You’ll need a seat that can last a long time, because it’s a major investment. Look for one that’s designed to adapt with your child and will last into the toddler years and on into the teenage years. One that our parent testers loved was the Axkid One i-Size that is suitable for children from birth and is able to be used up to 7 years.The Nuna pipa air rx is a different option that can be used for a long time. It is 360-degree in rotation, which means you can move it from front-facing to rear-facing as your child grows. It’s also among the lightest car seats that rotate on the market and weighs less than nine pounds without its base. It’s an excellent choice for parents who transfer their child frequently between cars or plan to take it on taxi rides, holiday fly-drives and trips with grandparents.ComfortIt is crucial that your child is comfortable in their car seat both when they are in it and after you install it. Look for padded straps that fit snugly on their shoulders and plush fabric that is comfortable on their tummy, especially when they are in the seat for long rides.The best infant car seats are also easy to use. Some come with premium LATCH connectors with a SuperCinch force multiplier that tightens the seat. Some also come with spring-loaded leveling legs and belt paths that make installing without a base easier than ever. Other features allow you to adjust the height of the harness and headrest, which is especially crucial as your child grows.Cosatto All in All Rotate is an example. Our testers from our parent company gave it 10 out of 10. It comes with a simple, clear interface and an easy-to-adjust no-rethread harness and also recline lock indicators and 360-degree rotation. This means you can switch from rear-facing to forward-facing as your baby grows without needing to remove the seat and replace it.Nuna Pipa Aire Rx is a different example. Our parent testers were impressed by its comfort and simplicity, as well as its versatility. Its padded shoulder straps and headrests are designed to accommodate your newborn’s head, and it comes with a soft infant cushion to ensure that they are comfortable. It can be used as an rear-facing car seat until your baby hits the max height or weight limit and then it can be converted into a stroller without the need for an additional adapter.A good car seat is durable, and some come with a guarantee. Choose a seat that has plenty of padding and strong materials to protect your child from any accidents. It should also come with a steel frame to absorb the force of impact, and a “crumple area” to avoid damage from a crash. It is important to keep it clean, as accidents are sure to happen with children. Find a car seat with removable seat covers and a machine-washable pad to make cleaning easy.Ease of UseA car seat needs to be simple to use and install, especially if you’re likely to be using it in a different vehicle at times. To make it as simple as possible you should look for features such as the quick-release belt and an indicator that shows the condition of the latch (e.g. green for locked) and a manual that is easy to read.The Best of The Bump winner comes with a number of practical features that our testers for parents loved, such as a cushioned headrest and harness, plush fabric, and the cup holder. It also has a reclining feature that lets your child sit in a comfortable and ergonomic position on longer journeys. It can be used in conjunction with a compatible buggy to make a complete travel system. This is perfect when you plan to travel for a long time.It is suitable from birth. Our panelists found this car seat to be easy to set up and adjust. It comes with recline lock indicators and an LATCH connector that is premium and comes with a SuperCinch force-multiplying tightener which made securing your child quick and simple. It can also be moved from side to side in the vehicle without the need for tools.One of our top features is the recline feature that allows you to easily take your baby in and out of the car. This is particularly helpful if you have back issues or drive a smaller car. It also has an adjustable drink holder that can be reversible, as well as a convenient storage compartment for snacks and toys.The seat is light and can be used without or with the base. It also rotates 180 degrees, which could be a real lifesaver if you are in a tight space or suffer from back pain. This feature has impressed our panelists, and it was selected for inclusion in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards.This is an excellent option for those looking to transform their car seats into strollers for a reasonable price. Its sleek design and high-quality fabric will endure the test of time, too. Don’t forget to wash the cover regularly because yoghurt spills or biscuits that are crushed and even sickening toddler accidents will leave their marks.DesignCar seat designs are as varied as the vehicles they’re placed in. Some parents choose to skip infant car seat in favor of convertible models. However, the majority of new mothers are looking for something that will develop with their child as they reach the toddler years. All-in-one car seat are the most versatile that allow you to change from rear-facing to forward-facing. It typically 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 baby in it. Our parents loved the Maxi-Cosi Coral, which is only available in a handful of colors, but has a lot of safety features and is extremely light (at 8.4 pounds with seat inserts and canopy). Other models that stand out are the Nuna PIPA URbN and the Nuna PIPA URbN, which was a winner of Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Car Seat Group 0/0+ due to its premium features like the Dream drape and UPF 50+ full-coverage canopy.The design of the base and the seat should be taken into consideration. For instance, certain car seats come with a base that is secured to the vehicle’s seat belt buckles, while others have steel-reinforced LATCH connectors which flip out from the sides of the base and turn green when they are attached correctly. These were convenient for parents, particularly in the case of vehicles with only front-facing seat belts.Some infant car seats can be utilized with a regular seatbelt, but without the base, which is a bonus for parents who regularly take taxis or need to travel with their child. Our parent testers really liked the Nuna TODL NEXT which can be used with or without its base and has a smooth swivel mechanism that makes it simple to get your baby into and out of the seat.Also, the design of the car seat is crucial. It must fit into your car. (See portable infant car seat on car seat compatibility). If you’re in search of a newborn infant car seat that can expand with your child’s development to become a booster seat pick a model that has an adjustable backrest as well as side impact protection. It’s also worth checking that your selected infant car seat is iSize certified and has the proper car seat attachment points, as per UK law.
