How to Choose the Best Car Seat Newborn

The best car seat newborn is one that meets federal safety standards, fits your vehicle, has convenient extras (like making it a stroller) and fits within your budget. It's also important to ensure that the infant car seat can be inserted into and out of your car without difficulty, particularly if you often change between trips to the taxi or in hire cars and grandparents vehicles.

Safety

A high-quality car seat will have extra features that are above the safety standards of the federal government. These include padded inserts on the head and shoulders and air-repellent fabrics to keep them cool when driving in hot weather.

Another important aspect to consider is the ease to install and use the seat. Ideally, you should be in a position to snap it in place with minimum effort and with clear indications that it's secure and level, as well as positioned correctly.

There are many features that will help you with this like belt guides and built-in locks that will help you align the car seat inserts for newborns seat to your vehicle's seatbelt. Avoid purchasing used car seats that may not have been tested for safety or been involved in an accident. They could not protect your child. If you have to purchase a used one ensure that it has an expiration date and isn't being sold by a private seller who does not have evidence of ownership.

It's also important to keep in mind that you should only allow your child in the car seat for up to two hours a day, unless it's in an upright position. This will help prevent strain on the spine of your child and ensure they are able to breath regularly.

The choice of a car seat for infants is a significant investment, so you'll want to make sure that it has a long duration. Look for one that's designed to grow with your child, which will last through toddlerhood and through the teen years. One that our parent testers liked was the Axkid One i-Size, which is suitable from birth and can be used up to 7 years.

Nuna pipa air rx is another alternative that can be used over a long period of time. It can rotate 360 degrees, making it possible to change it from rear-facing into front-facing as your child grows. It's also one of 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 move their child frequently between cars or plan to use it for taxi rides, holiday fly-drives and trips with grandparents.

Comfort

It is essential that your child is comfortable in their car seat both in it and when you install it. Look for straps that are padded to are comfortable to wear on their shoulders. Also, look for soft fabric that is comfortable on their stomach, especially when they are in the seat for long trips.

The best infant car seats are also easy to use. Some feature premium LATCH connectors with SuperCinch force-multiplying tightener, spring-loaded leveling feet as well as belt paths that make putting them on without a base more simple than ever before. Other features can help you adjust the height of the harness and headrest, which is especially important as your child gets older.

Cosatto All in All Rotate is a good example. Our parent testers scored it a 10 out of 10. It has a clear and simple interface, a no-rethread easy-to-change harness, 360-degree rotation and a recline lock indication. This means that you can change from rear-facing to forward-facing as your baby grows without needing to remove the seat and replace it.

Another instance is the Nuna Pipa air rx which our testers who were parents loved for its ease of use, comfort and flexibility. Its padded shoulder straps and headrests are designed to support the head of your baby and includes an extra soft pillow to ensure comfort. It can be placed in a rear-facing position until your child reaches the maximum weight limit or height. It then converts to the position of a stroller.

A quality car seat is durable and many come with a warranty. Choose an item that is made up of padding and strong materials to safeguard your child from any accidents. It should also come with steel frames to absorb the force of impact as well as an "crumple area" to avoid damage from a crash. It is also easy to clean as spills are commonplace with a baby. To make cleaning easier, look for a car seat that has removable covers and a machine washable pad.

Easy to Use

It's important that a car seat be simple to install and use, especially when it is going to be used in multiple vehicles at times. Look for features like a quick-release buckle, a gauge that displays the state of the latch system (e.g., green for locked) and a clear, easy-to-read guide to make it as stress-free as you can.

The Best of The Bump winner includes a variety of useful features, which our parent testers loved, such as a cushioned headrest and harness, plush material, and a cupholder.

The reclining feature makes it easier for you to take your baby in and out of the vehicle. This is particularly helpful if you have back issues or are driving a smaller vehicle. It also has the ability to reversibly hold your cup and a handy storage pocket for snacks and toys.

Design

The styles of car seats are as diverse as the cars they're placed in. Some parents prefer to skip infant car seats to opt for convertible models, the majority of new moms want a product that will grow with their baby into toddlerhood. The most versatile choice is an all-in-one infant car seat newborn car seat that allows you to change between forward-facing and rear-facing. It usually has a higher weight and height limit, and can be used as a booster seat if your child is ready for one.

A great car seat for your infant newborn car seat is lightweight and easy to lift it from the base and then carry your baby in it. The Maxi-Cosi Coral is available in only a handful of colors, but it has a number of safety features, and is light (8.4 pounds, including seat inserts and canopy). Nuna PIPA URbN is another model that stands out, since it was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Car Seat Group category, thanks to high-end features such as the Dream drape and a canopy that covers the entire area with UPF 50+.

The design of the base and the seat should also be considered. For example, some car seats have a specific base that is secured to the buckles of the seat belts and others use 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 when their vehicle had only front-facing seatbelts with no ISOFIX anchor points.

Certain portable infant car seat car seats work with regular seatbelts without the base. This is a fantastic feature for parents who travel frequently or take taxis with their babies. The Nuna TODL NEXT was a top pick among our parent testers. It can be used either with or without the base, and it has an easy swivel that allows you to easily take your baby in and out.

Other important design considerations include whether the car seat is a flat design, and how it is compatible with your car (see our guide to car seat compatibility). If you're looking for a car seat that will grow with your baby into a booster, choose one that has an adjustable headrest that can be reclining and side impact protection. It is also important to ensure that your chosen infant car seat rear facing car seat is i-Size compatible and has the right car seat attachment points according to UK law.
