Top Rated Infant Car Seats Not all infant car seats are made in the same way. The most effective seats come with features that enhance the performance of crash tests.

Britax Boulevard ClickTight The Britax Blvd ClickTight is a great choice for parents looking for an automobile seat that they can expand with. The rear-facing weight limit is 40 pounds, which is more than most infant car seats. It can be used forward-facing as well until your child is 65 pounds. Its most prominent selling point is the ClickTight Installation System, which is the most secure and user-friendly on the market. It lets you tighten the seat belt by pressing the red release button and pulling on the harness strap and not having to loosen it, then re-thread. This reduces the chance of not tightening correctly the seat belt which is the main cause of car seat failure. The EZ-Buckle Pad is a further safety feature that holds the buckle out the way as you put your child in the car seat. This feature together with beltpath cutouts on both sides of the seat, makes it simple to get your child in and out of the car. All three ClickTight convertible seat models (Boulevard CT, Marathon CT, Advocate CT) share the similar features. ClickTight Installation System is one of them. Also included is an impact-absorbing frame with 7 recline positions. The seat is fairly heavy, though, so you may want to consider an alternative that is lighter if you plan to use it for frequent swaps of cars. The seat is quite large, so it might not fit in smaller cars. If you're looking for a low-cost seat with the same quality the Graco 4Ever is a fantastic choice. It has lower crash test scores than the Boulevard but is still an excellent option for your child. The Graco also has LATCH connectors with push-on connections which make it much easier to take the seat off. Boulevard's LATCH connectors utilize an alternative release system that requires you to pull the webbing, then press the gray button. This can be difficult if the webbing is tense. However this seat comes with a convenient storage compartment for belt straps when they are not in use. Clek Liing If you're in search of a child car seat that has it all -safety, style convenience, and luxury- you'll love the Clek Liing.

The base has seven recline positions and a trusty bubble indicator to let you know exactly when the seat is at the proper angle for your baby. Parents love the Liing's sleek and modern design, as well as its innovative safety features like rigid lower anchors that are much easier to attach than standard hook-and-loop connectors. The Liing comes with a single-handed release, making it simple to remove the base and connect it to strollers that are compatible with it. It's also narrow enough to fit three-across many vehicles, and it can be easily inserted into a convertible car seat as an extra boost for travel. This infant seat is rated first for its unique rigid-LATCH system of installation. The Liing's lower anchors snap into the lower seat belt slots of the vehicle and the top tether strap snaps on to the headrest of the vehicle. This creates a tight, secure fit which reduces the risk that the child might be thrown around in an accident. The seat is light, with the base weighting 9 pounds and the carrier itself at an easy 10.5 pounds. Other rear-facing seats weigh more, but the difference isn't evident if you intend to transport the car seat and base around. ).

Graco Trio Grow SnugLock LX The Graco Trio SnugLock LX is a three-in-one car seat that can be used from rear-facing infant to forward-facing harness and then to highback booster. It features the SnugLock system, which allows for a simple and smooth installation with either lower anchors or vehicle seat belts. It has the option of using the top tether when in booster mode. (We recommend using the lower anchors for extra security.) We like that this seat is suitable for children of all ages. It has an infant insert for smaller infants that can support their necks and backs. This insert can be removed when the child is older and the seat can be used as a normal car seat for toddlers. It is one of the only car seats that allows the top tether to be used in booster mode. We highly recommend it. Its base is pretty compact front to back, so it shouldn't be hard to locate a place for it in the majority of vehicles. It does require the headrest to be raised, however, to allow a clear path to the lower anchor webbing. There's a knob that is handy for adjusting the headrest, and the display window indicates the position of the headrest. One of the most impressive features about this seat is the SnugLock installation system that is an anchor that is inside the belt path. Installing this car seat with lower anchors is simple and almost as simple as using the vehicle's seat belt. The manual offers a wonderful illustration on how to route the lower anchor connectors in a correct manner through the new belt path which at first can be confusing. It's crucial to keep them out of the crotch buckle loop and away from the chest clip, to ensure they don't interfere with the buckle system. The Graco Trio Grow is part of the Protect Plus Engineered family, which means it has been subjected to some of the most rigorous crash tests in the market. This includes rear, side and rollover crashes as well the frontal impact tests.
