Top Rated Infant Car Seats Not all infant car seats are created in the same way. The most effective seats come with features that increase crash test performance. For example, load legs — shock-absorbing components which are attached to the base or seat and reduce the movement of the seat during the event of a collision. A favorite among CPST instructors is the Chicco KeyFit, which has a weight limit that is high for rear-facing and height limit and a bubble level indicator, and a spring-loaded reclining foot that makes it easy to set up. Graco Mesa Max The Graco Mesa Max is one of the top-rated infant car seats in terms of ease of use. It is an easy-to-use design and top fabrics. It also comes with an innovative feature that allows you to connect the harness of your child directly to the headrest. It also has a large hideaway canopy that allows you to keep your baby sheltered during travel. The only downside is that it is a little heavier than average this could be a problem if intend to carry it around or want to use it with your UPPAbaby stroller, which is a winner. The Mesa Max's impressive results in crash tests reflect its commitment to safety. It scored a top score in the frontal test and an excellent score in the side impact test, which means your baby is protected from both sides in a collision. The anti-rebound panel is a notable safety feature. It helps to reduce rebound forces in a crash and protects the child's head. This feature is rare in car seats for infants and makes the Mesa Max stand out among its competitors. Graco Mesa Max can easily and securely be fitted into your vehicle using LATCH when it is used in conjunction with the base. infant carrier seat , recline angle adjustment, and tightness indicator ensure a quick and accurate installation. The base weighs 12.6 pounds which is slightly heavier than the typical car seat for infants, but not enough to cause an issue. Similar to its predecessor, the UPPAbaby Mesa V2, the Mesa Max uses dual-knit fabric that's free of fire-retardant chemicals. It also comes with an infinitely adjustable headrest and an extremely durable infant insert that improves fit and body positioning for infants weighing between 4-11 pounds. The fabric is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which means they are tested for low chemical emissions and VOCs. The Mesa Max from UPPAbaby is more expensive than other alternatives, however it comes with top features and modern security technologies to provide the best travel experience. The base is included and is available in a variety of fashionable colors. This is a great addition to the value proposition. Its thoughtful design and strong features offer peace of mind for parents on every journey. Britax Boulevard ClickTight The Britax Blvd ClickTight is a fantastic choice for parents who are looking for a car seat they can grow with. Its rear-facing limit is 40 pounds, which is greater than most infant car seats, and it can also be used as a forward-facing child seat until your child is 65 pounds. Its main selling feature is the ClickTight Installation System, which is the safest and easiest to use available. The seat belt can be tightened by pressing a red release and pulling the harness strap. This eliminates the need to loosen and rethread the seatbelt. This decreases the risk of not tightening correctly the seat belt which is the main cause of failures in car seats. Another security feature is the EZ-Buckle Pad, which keeps the buckle out of the way when you're putting your child in the car seat. This feature together with beltpath cutouts that are located on the sides of the seat, makes it simple to get your child into and out of the car. The three ClickTight convertible seat models (Boulevard CT, Marathon CT, Advocate CT) share the similar features. They include the ClickTight Installation System with an impact-absorbing base with 7 recline positions as well as a rip-stitch energy absorbing harness pad, a tether that is HUGS as well as a steel reinforced frame and EPP energy-absorbing foam. It is a heavy seat, and it could be worth considering an alternative that is lighter if you intend to use it for frequent car swaps or traveling. Additionally, the seat is large, which means it might not be suitable for smaller vehicles, particularly in the case of rear-facing. If you're looking for a low-cost seat with similar quality, the Graco 4Ever DLX is a great choice. This seat has lower crash test analysis scores than the Boulevard, but it's still an excellent seat for your child. The Graco also comes with LATCH connectors that can be pushed on which make it much easier to remove the seat. Boulevard's LATCH connectors use a different release mechanism that requires you to pull the webbing and press an orange button. It's not easy to do this if your webbing isn't fitted properly. This seat comes with a handy storage compartment for the belt straps. Clek Liing Clek Liing is the perfect infant car seat for you if you want it all with style, safety, and convenience. This rear-facing only car seat has a high crash test score, a wide range of features and is easy to install within most vehicles. The Liing is designed to safeguard newborn darlings with features that meet or exceed both US and Canadian safety standards. It's designed to allow for a simple, secure installation in any seating position. It's loaded with advanced safety features such as an energy-absorbing metal load leg and an outer shell that is lined with EPP foam to provide greater side-impact protection. The base has seven recline positions and a trusty bubble indicator that lets you know exactly when the seat is set at the correct angle for your infant. The Liing is a sleek, modern stroller that parents are raving about. It is equipped with innovative safety features like rigid lower anchors that are much easier to connect than hook-and-loop connectors. The Liing features a one-handed release, making it easy to remove the base and connect it to strollers compatible with it. With less than 17 inches wide, it's narrow enough for 3-across use in most cars and can easily fit into convertible car seats to act as a travel booster. This infant seat is rated 1st for its unique rigid-LATCH installation method. Lower anchors of the Liing snap into the seat belt slots of the vehicle and the top tether strap snaps on to the headrest of the vehicle. This ensures a tight snug, secure fit that eliminates the chance that the child will be thrown around during a crash. The base weighs 9lbs, and the carrier weighs 10.5 lbs. Other rear-facing seats weigh more, but the difference isn't significant if you plan to transport the car seat and base around. ). Parents love the Liing's integrated canopy and 100+spf of protection from the sun's rays by a mesh peekaboo. Caregivers love the blanket made of merino, which keeps the baby warm and the capacity of the handle to pivot past the canopy. This allows parents to reach for the seat when needed. Graco Trio Grow SnugLock LX The Graco Trio SnugLock LX is a 3-in-1 car seat that goes from rear-facing infant, to forward-facing harness, and then to highback booster. It comes with the SnugLock installation system which allows for a smooth and easy installation using either a vehicle seat belt or lower anchors. It can be installed using the top tether when in booster mode. (We recommend always using the lower anchors for additional security.) We like that this seat is suitable for children of all ages. For babies who are just beginning to crawl, it has an infant insert that assists to help support their necks and backs. When they get older, the insert can be removed and the seat is used as a regular toddler car seat. This car seat is among the few that allows you to use the top tether when in booster mode, which is what we recommend. Its base is quite compact from front to rear and it shouldn't be hard to find a space for it in the majority of vehicles. It does require the headrest to be raised however, to allow an easy way to the lower anchor webbing. Thankfully, there's a handy headrest adjustment knob that can easily do this, and you'll be able to observe the position of the headrest in the display window. One of the coolest things about this seat is the SnugLock installation system, which is a bar that's within the belt path. Installing this car seat with lower anchors is easy, and almost as simple as putting it on the car's seat belt. The manual has a great illustration of how to guide the lower anchor connectors properly through the new belt path which may initially be confusing. Keep them clear of the chest clip and crotch loop to prevent interference with the buckle system. The Graco Trio Grow belongs to the Protect Plus Engineered Family, which means it has been put through some of the most rigorous testing in the market. This includes rear, side and rollover crashes, as well the frontal impact tests.
