Best Car Seats For Infants and Babies

While convertible car seats are ideal for children who are growing, an infant seat is the best choice for infants and newborns. They are also lighter and easier to attach to strollers than their larger counterparts.

CPST instructor Kecia Healy was impressed by the Chicco KeyFit's recline foot with springs and bubble indicator on the base, in addition to its ease of use (the more user-friendly a car seat is and is, the more likely parents will be to set it up correctly). The model can also be used with three across in many midsize automobiles.

1. Clek Liing Infant Car Seat

The Canadian manufacturer Clek is renowned for its best infant seat-rated convertible car seats and the infant Liing is among the best infant seats. The seat combines best infant seat-in-class safety features, including a steel load leg with easy, user-friendly installation and seven different recline positions to adapt to the slope of your car seat. A bubble indicator allows you determine if the seat is set at the right angle prior to letting your child ride in it.

The base of the Liing can be easily fitted using rigid LATCH connectors that fit into the lower anchors of your car, making it easier to anchor the seat. The Liing is a great option for families that are planning to change cars frequently or who want an easy and secure method to install car seats for their infants. You can also utilize the belt-tensioning system included to buckle your child.

One of the features that distinguishes the Liing apart from other infant car seats is its two-piece Newborn Support System. This system includes an insert that can be placed over the crotch strap and a headrest that is attached to harnesses to stop newborns from slumbering forward or moving their heads backwards in the seat. It's a game changer for small infants and preemies, and it's one of the few rear facing infant car seats to offer this kind of support.

Another advantage of the Liing is its crash-testing frame, which reduces crash forces by up to 40 percent compared to other infant seats. The seat's shell is bolstered with EPP foam to protect your child's head and torso which are most vulnerable in the event of a collision. The seat's base is engineered with a load leg made of metal that absorbs energy and reduces the risk of crashes, as well.

2. Chicco KeyFit

This is a top-rated infant car seat. It's easy to put in place, easy to use and can grow with your child. It can also be used in conjunction with strollers to create an travel system.

The KeyFit is a good choice for parents who want an easy-to-use, safe and versatile seat. It has an excellent score in crash tests, is lightweight and comfortable to carry and has a good range of height/weight limits. It was also designed to guarantee the safety of babies. The click-in point is made of soft material around it to ensure that your baby isn't burned by metal, the newborn insert also has a head cover to protect their little heads and the seat pad your baby sits on nestles them with cushions that absorb energy for a comfortable experience.

The process of installing it correctly is simple. It is essential to install the infant seat correctly as a wrong installation can increase the chance of getting injured. The premium connectors of KeyFit's LATCH and a SuperCinch tightener guarantee a secure fit while requiring minimum effort. Additionally, the base comes with a ReclineSure leveling foot as well as two RideRight bubble level indicators to ensure correct vehicle angle and a fast installation. For alternate installation, clear belt routing, lock-offs and the car seatbelt make it easy to place and tighten.

However, it isn't as good in the user-friendliness category due to the rethread style harness height adjustment, which is a standard feature on a lot of Chicco seats (and as well on their OG Keyfit model). This means that you must manually re-thread straps to move from one level to the next. But this is still an acceptable trade-off for the convenience this seat offers.

3. Joie i-Snug 2

The lightweight Joie i-Snug 2 infant car seat is built to the most stringent safety standards. It has a no-rethread strap and is compatible with Joie Strollers that can accept Maxi Cosi style adapters. It's easy to use, with clearly labeled installation guides and built-in bubble levels to assist in alignment. The car seat is full of padding and is comfortable. It also comes with a handy canopy that shields your baby from the sun.

The iSnug comes with an ISOFIX vehicle base that permits an extremely secure vehicle attachment. It can also be combined with a compatible stroller to create a complete travel system. It's an infant car seat that is rear-facing that offers the best neck and head protection for infants and newborns. The exclusive Tri-Protect headrest has a layer of Intelli-Fit memory foam to protect your baby from side impact crashes.

You'll need a brand new infant car seat as soon as your child reaches the weight and height limits, or their first birthday. After that you can upgrade to a convertible, or an all-in-one car seat that allows children to ride rear-facing longer and is more secure for them.

A convertible car seat is bigger and more spacious than an infant car seat and has a higher weight and height limit when facing backwards. It is a good idea to change to a convertible car seat as soon as is possible to avoid your child from growing too quickly. In some cases parents can transition their baby to an all-in-one seat without needing to purchase an additional infant car seat. It's therefore important to choose the right convertible car seat for you and your family. Our comprehensive guide will give you all the information you need to make a wise choice.

4. Nuna Pipa Aire RX

The Nuna Pipa Aire RX is one of the most rated infant car seats because of its safety, light design and its flexibility. It can be fitted with a rigid lower anchor in the outboard seats of a majority of vehicles, or with the seat belts of vehicles that uses Euro Routing (which uses the entire length to secure the installation). It also comes with an organic cotton GOTS infant car seat newborn insert, which makes it a great alternative for parents who prioritize organic choices for their child.

The Pipa Aire RX weighs only 6 pounds. without the canopy or inserts. It is one of the lightest infant car seats on the market. This is due to the unique Aeroflex foam, which is extremely light yet incredibly strong, reducing forces transferred to your child in a crash. Other safety features include the 5-second steel-reinforced True Lock base installation, side-impact protection and a multi-position steel stability leg that has a crumple area to reduce forward rotation to provide greater rearward-facing security.

Other highlights include an ergonomic aluminum handle that's comfortable and light with leatherette accents to ensure easy to carry and excellent grip. Magnetic buckle holders keep straps off from the way when you buckle your child, and color-coded indicators for installation confirm correct connections. The low-profile base allows for quick, easy loading and the open belt path with locks that secure shoulder and lap belts.

Parenting can be messy, but cleaning up shouldn't have to be. The fabrics and inserts in the Pipa Aire RX are machine washable, which means you can keep your car seat looking as like new after every use.

5. Nuna Pipa Urbn

While Nuna's PIPA RX and PIPA air RX car seats are both great options, the newly launched Pipa Urbn takes it all to a whole new level. The ultralight infant seat is lightweight and easy to carry, and weighs less than 7 pounds when the canopy and insert are in place. It also has elegant user-friendly design, with convenient features like buckle holders with magnetic buckles to keep straps out of the way while you buckle baby in and a red/green indicator to ensure the installation is secure (we would like to see that all car seats came with this! ).

Contrary to the Pipa RX and the other base-compatible PIPA models that require the use of a car base it, this model can be used without a base due to its innovative pipaFIX rigid latch system. This makes it the ideal choice for parents who frequently use taxis or rideshare services as well as for those who want the ability to transfer their car seat more easily and quickly.

Like other Nuna products, the Pipa Urbn is designed with environmentally-friendly materials that are free of added fire retardant chemicals, and is GREENGUARD Gold certified. These eco-friendly materials include a Merino Wool and Tencel blended Lyocell fibres for the headrest and a waterproof machine washable cover.

The main drawback of the Pipa Urbn is that it has a rear-facing weight limit of 30 to 35 pounds, so you may need to change to a convertible car seat earlier than other brands. It is still a top-rated option for infants. This car seat is compatible with Nuna's travel systems and can be connected to all strollers by using the Ring adapter.
