How to Choose the Best Car Seat Newborn

The best car seat newborn is one that meets federal safety standards, fits your car, has useful features (like making it the stroller) and works with your budget. It's also worth checking that the car seat for your baby clicks into and out of your car without difficulty especially if you frequently change between trips to the taxi or in rental cars and grandparents' vehicles.

Safety

A high-quality car seat comes with extra features that go beyond the federal safety standards. They include padded inserts for the shoulders and head and air-repellent fabrics that help keep them cool in hot vehicles and side-impact protection.

Another crucial safety aspect is the ease to install and use the seat. In the ideal scenario, you'll be in a position to snap it into place with minimal effort and with clear indications that it's safe, level, and positioned properly.

Look for features that allow you to accomplish this, such as locks built-in to the seat and belt guides that help you align the car seat with the vehicle's seat belt. Also, you should avoid purchasing used car seats that might not be tested for safety or have been involved in an accident and might not protect your child. If you have to buy a used car seat, make sure that it has an expiration and that the seller isn't an individual or a private party who has no proof of ownership.

One other thing to keep in your mind is to keep your child in the car seat for a maximum of two hours per day, unless they're in a lying-flat position. This is to avoid the spine from becoming strained and ensure that they are able to breathe regularly.

Choosing an infant car seat is a significant investment so you'll want to make sure it has a long life span. Select a seat that will expand with your child's age and last from toddlerhood through teens. One that our parent testers loved was the Axkid One i-Size, which is suitable from birth and is able to be used until 7 years.

The Nuna pipa air rx is a different option that can be used for a long time. It rotates 360 degrees, which means you can switch it from front-facing to rear-facing as your child grows. It's also one of the lightest-weight car seats available and weighs less than nine pounds without its base. It's a great choice for parents who frequently transfer their children between cars or plan to use it for taxi rides, fly-drive holidays, and trips to grandparent's houses.

Comfort

A well-designed infant car seat will be comfortable for your child, both in the seat as well as when you are installing it. Look for straps that are padded to are comfortable to wear on their shoulders, and soft fabric that is comfortable on their stomach, especially when they are in the seat for long rides.

The most effective infant car seats are simple to use. Some have premium LATCH connectors with the SuperCinch force-multiplying tightener spring-loaded leveling feet and belt paths that make installing without the base easier than ever. Other features will help you adjust the height of the harness and headrest, which is particularly important as your child gets older.

Cosatto All in All Rotate is a prime example. Our parent testers gave it 10 out of 10. It comes with an easy-to-use interface and an easy-to-adjust, no-rethread harness and also a recline lock indicator and 360-degree rotation. This means you can switch from forward facing infant car seat-facing to rear-facing as your baby grows without having to remove the seat and replace it.

Another example is the Nuna Pipa air rx which our testers who were parents loved for its convenience, comfort and flexibility. Its padded shoulder straps as well as headrests are designed to accommodate your newborn's head, and it comes with an infant pillow that is soft to ensure they are comfortable. It can be used in a rear-facing position until your child reaches the maximum weight limit or height. Then, it converts into an infant stroller.

A good car seat is sturdy and some come with a warranty. Find the seat with plenty of padding and strong materials to protect your child from any injuries. It should also come with an aluminum frame to withstand the impact energy as well as an "crumple area" to avoid damage from a crash. It is also easy to clean as messiness is inevitable with a baby. To make cleaning easier, search for a car seat with removable covers and a machine washable pad.

Easy of Use

It is essential that the car seat you choose to purchase is simple to install and use, particularly in the event that it will be used in a variety of vehicles from time to time. To make it as simple as possible look for features such as a quick-release belt and an indicator that shows the state of the latch (e.g. green for locked) and a user manual that is easy to read.

The best car seats newborn of The Bump winner comes with a number of practical features, which our parent testers were pleased with, including a padded headrest and harness, plush fabric, and the cup holder. It has a reclining function that lets your child sit in a comfortable position during longer journeys. It can be used in conjunction with a compatible buggy for an entire travel system. This is perfect if you are planning to travel for a long period of time.

Our panelists found that the car seat was easy to set up and adjust. It comes with a recline lock and an upgraded connector that comes with a SuperCinch tightener. This makes it easy to ensure your child's safety. It's designed to be easily shifted from side-to-side in the vehicle without the necessity of tools.

One of our Top Rated Baby Car Seats features is the recline feature that helps you get your rotating infant car seat in and out of the car. This is especially helpful when you are suffering from back pain or are driving a smaller vehicle. It also has an adjustable cup holder that can be reversible and a handy storage pocket for snacks and toys.

The seat weighs just nine pounds and can be installed with or without its base. It can also rotate 180 degrees, which could be a real lifesaver if you have a limited space or struggle with back pain. Our panelists were impressed by this feature, which won a spot in our 2021 Mother&Baby awards.

This is a great choice for those looking to convert their car seats into strollers for affordable prices. Its sleek design and premium fabric will also stand the test time. Be sure to wash your cover frequently because smashed biscuits, yoghurt spills and the odd sick toddler accident will be certain to leave a footprints!

Design

The styles of car seats are as varied as the vehicles they're used in. Some parents choose to skip baby car seats and opt for a convertible model. However, most new mothers are looking for something that will develop with their child as they reach the age of toddlerhood. The most versatile option is an all-in one baby car seat that allows you to change between rear-facing and forward-facing. It typically has a greater weight and height limit, and can also be used as a booster when your child is old enough.

The ideal car seat for infants for babies is light and easy to take off the base while your child is inside. The Maxi-Cosi Coral is available in only a handful of colors, however it comes with a wide array of safety features and is also light (8.4 pounds including seat inserts and canopy). Other standout models include 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+ with its high-end extras such as the Dream drape and full-coverage UPF 50+ canopy.

The design of the base and seat must also be considered. For instance, certain car seats come with a base that locks into the buckles on the seat belts, while others have steel-reinforced LATCH connectors which flip out from the sides of the base and turn green when connected correctly. Parents have found these to be convenient, especially if their vehicle had only front-facing seatbelts and no ISOFIX anchor points.

Certain infant car seats can be used with standard seatbelts that do not have the base. This is a fantastic feature for parents who frequently travel or travel with their children. Our testers with parents 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 in and out of the seat.

The design of the car seat is crucial. It should fit into your car. (See our guide to car seat compatibility). If you are looking for a new infant car seat that can grow along with your child's development to become a booster seat pick a model that features a reclining backrest and side impact protection. It's also important to confirm that the infant car seat is i-Size certified and has the proper car seat attachment points as per UK law.
