How to Choose the Best Car seat for newborn Car Seat Newborn

The best infant carrier car seat car seat for newborns is one that meets federal safety standards, fits in your vehicle, has convenient extras (like making it the stroller) and is within your budget. It is also important to ensure that the car seat is easily inserted into and out of any vehicle, especially when you frequently switch between rental cars, taxis or grandparents' vehicles.

Safety

Car seats are made to keep your baby safe and a safe one should come with additional features that go beyond federal safety standards. These include padded inserts for the shoulders and head, air-repellent fabrics to help keep them cool in hot vehicles and side-impact safety.

The ease of installation and use of the seat is another important aspect of safety. Ideally, you should be able to snap it in place with little effort and with clear indications that it's safe in its place, level, and placed properly.

Look for features that allow you to accomplish this, such as built-in lock offs and belt guides that can help you line up the car seat with the vehicle's seat belt. Avoid buying used car seats that may not have been tested for safety or have been involved in an accident. They might not be safe for 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.

Another thing to bear in mind is to only leave your infant in the car seat for up to two hours per day unless they are in a lie-flat position. This is to prevent the spine from becoming strained and ensure that they are able to breathe regularly.

The choice of a car seat for infants is a significant investment, so you'll want to make sure it has a long lifespan. Choose a seat that will grow with your child's age and last through toddlerhood to teens. One of the ones our parents liked was the Axkid One i-Size that is suitable from birth and can be used until 7 years.

Nuna pipa air rx is a second option that can be used over a long period of time. It is 360-degree in rotation, which means you can move it from front-facing to rear-facing as your child grows. It is also one of most light-weight car seats available that weighs less than nine pounds. It's an excellent choice for parents who need to move their baby between vehicles frequently or plan to take it on taxi rides, holiday fly-drives and trips with grandparents.

Comfort

It is crucial that your child is at ease in their car seat, both in it and after you install it. Look for padded straps which fit snugly around their shoulders, and look for soft fabric that is comfortable beneath their stomachs. This is particularly important when you intend to use the seat for a long period of time.

The most effective infant car seat is also user-friendly. Some have premium LATCH connectors that feature a SuperCinch force multiplier tightener. Some also come with spring-loaded leveling legs as well as belt paths to make installation without a base simpler than ever. Other features let you adjust the height of the harness and headrest, which is important as your child grows.

Cosatto All in All Rotate is a good example. Our test subjects gave it a score of 10 out of 10. It has a clear, simple interface, no-rethread, easy-to-change harness, 360-degree rotation, and recline lock indicator. It is possible to easily change your child from rear-facing to front-facing as they grow without needing to take out and replace the seat.

Nuna Pipa Aire Rx is a similar example. Our testers who were parents loved it for its ease of use and simplicity, as well as its versatility. Its padded headrest and shoulder straps are designed to help support the head of your baby, and comes with an extra soft pillow to ensure comfort. It can be used in a back-facing position until your child is at the maximum weight or height limit. It then converts to a stroller.

A high-quality car seat is durable and some come with a warranty. Choose a seat made of solid materials and plenty of padding to safeguard your baby from accidents, as well as a steel frame that absorbs impact energy and a "crumple zone" to prevent damage. It is also easy to clean, since spills are commonplace with a baby. To make cleaning easier, look for a car seat that has removable covers and pads that can be washed in the machine.

Ease of Use

It is crucial that a car seat is simple to install and use, especially in the event that it will be used in different vehicles from time to time. Look for features such as an easy-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 easy as is possible.

The Best of The Bump winner has many practical extras that our parents appreciated, including a padded headrest and harness, plush fabric and cup holders. It also comes with a reclining feature that allows your baby to be seated in a more ergonomic position for longer journeys. It can be used in conjunction with a compatible buggy to make a complete travel system. This is ideal if you are planning to travel for a long time.

Suitable from birth, our panelists found this car seat simple to set up and adjust. It comes with recline locks and an upgraded connector that comes with a SuperCinch tightener. This made it simple to secure your child. It can also be moved from side to side in the vehicle without the use of tools.

One of our favorite features is the reclining feature that helps you take your baby in and out of the car. This is particularly helpful if you have back issues or drive a smaller car. It also comes with the ability to reversibly hold your cup and a handy pocket for snacks and toys.

The seat is lightweight and can be used in conjunction with or without the base. It can also rotate 180 degrees, which can be a huge help if you are in a tight space or struggle with back pain. Our panelists were impressed by this new feature which was a finalist in our 2021 Mother&Baby awards.

It's a great choice for anyone looking to convert their car seat into a stroller at an affordable cost. Its sleek design and high-quality fabric will stand the test of time as well. Don't forget to wash the cover regularly because yoghurt spills or biscuits that are crushed and even sickening toddler accidents can leave a marks.

Design

The styles of car seats are as varied as the cars they're placed in. Some parents opt to ditch the infant car seats and opt for a convertible model. However, most new mothers prefer a product that will grow with their child into the age of toddlerhood. All-in-one car seat are the most flexible, allowing you to switch from rear-facing to forward-facing. It usually has a higher height and weight limit, and it can be used as a booster seat once your child is old enough to need one.

The ideal car seat for a newborn car seat is lightweight which makes it easy to lift it from the base and carry with your baby in it. Our parent testers loved the Maxi-Cosi Coral, which is only available in a couple of colours, but offers plenty of safety features and is super light (at 8.4 pounds with seat inserts and canopy). Nuna PIPA URbN is another model that stands out, because it won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Car Seat Group category, thanks to high-end features such as the Dream drape and a fully-covered canopy with UPF 50+.

The design of the seat and base must also be taken into consideration. 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 that flip out from the sides of the base and turn green when attached correctly. These were a great option for parents, particularly when the vehicle only had front-facing seat belts.

Certain infant car seats work with regular seatbelts without the base. This is a fantastic feature for parents who travel often or travel with their babies. Our parent testers 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.

Additionally, the design of a car seat is important. It should fit into your car. (See our guide to car seat compatibility). If you're looking for a newborn infant car seat that can expand with your child's growth into a booster, choose a model that has a reclined backrest and side impact protection. It's also worth checking that your chosen infant carrier seat car seat is i-Size compatible and has the right car seat attachment points according to UK law.
