Best Car Seats For Infants and Babies

While convertible car seats are great for growing children but an infant seat is best for infants. They are also lighter and easier for you to attach to strollers than their larger counterparts.

CPST instructor Kecia Healy was impressed by the Chicco KeyFit's recline foot that is spring-loaded and bubble indicator on the base, as well as its user-friendliness (the more user-friendly a car seats is and is, the more likely parents are to install it correctly). This model also fits three across in a variety of mid-sized vehicles.

1. Clek Liing infant car seat

Clek, one of the Canadian manufacturer, is renowned for its top-rated convertible car seat. The infant Liing is among their best infant seats. The seat comes with best-in class safety features, such as a metal load-leg and a simple installation. It also comes with 7 different recline positions that can be adjusted to suit the slope of your vehicle's seat. A bubble indicator enables you to check that the seat is set at the right angle prior to letting your child ride in it.

The base of the Liing is easy to install by using LATCH connectors made of rigid material that fit into the lower anchors of your car which makes it easier to fix the seat. The Liing is a great option for families who are planning to change cars frequently or want a simple and secure method to install a baby's car seats. You can also utilize the belt-tensioning system included to buckle your child.

The Liing's 2-piece Newborn System is one of the features that set it apart from other rotating infant car seat car seats. It includes an insert for the lower that slips over the crotch buckle, and an attachment for the head that connects to the harness to to prevent babies from sagging or bending their heads while they're in the seat. It's a game changer for small babies and preemies and is among the few rear facing infant car seats that offer this kind of support.

Another excellent feature of the Liing is its crash-testing frame, which reduces the force of a crash by as much as 40 percent in comparison to other infant seats. The shell of the seat is reinforced with EPP foam that protects your child's head and body during the event of a crash. The seat's base has a metal load leg which absorbs energy and assists in reducing the risk of crashes.

2. Chicco KeyFit

This is the most highly rated infant seat. It's easy to put in place, easy to use and will grow with your child. It can also be used with strollers as an overall travel system.

The KeyFit is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use, safe and flexible seat. It has an excellent score in crash tests, is light and comfortable to carry and has a good range of weight and height limits. It is also made with babies' comfort in mind. The click-in points are made of soft material around it to ensure that your baby won't be burned by metal, the infant insert comes with an enclosed head-skirt to protect their heads and the seat pad that babies sit on is surrounded by cushioned foam that absorbs energy for comfort.

It's also one of the most simple infant seats to install correctly--every time. It is crucial to install the seat correctly as a wrong installation could increase your child's chance of getting injured. The KeyFit's premium connectors for LATCH with a SuperCinch tightener guarantee the safety of your child's seat while requiring only minimal effort.

For a second installation, using the belt on the vehicle, clear belt routing and lock-offs make it easy to position, install and tighten the seat belt of your car.

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 many Chicco seats (and as well on their OG Keyfit model). This means you have to remove the harness and manually re-thread straps from one slot level to another which is more time-consuming than non-rethread adjustments. However, this is an insignificant trade-off to the ease of use this seat provides.

3. Joie i-Snug 2

The light Joie i-Snug 2 infant car seat meets the highest safety standards. It has a no-rethread strap and is compatible with Joie strollers that accept Maxi Cosi style adapters.

A convertible car seat has a greater rear-facing weight and height limit than an infant car seat and generally has a larger and more spacious interior.

4. Nuna Pipa Aire RX

Nuna Pipa RX is a top-rated infant seat due to its safety features, lightweight design, and the flexibility. It can be installed using rigid anchors for the lower part of the outboard seats in the majority of vehicles and is also equipped with a vehicle seat belt that utilizes Euro routing (which makes use of the entire length of the vehicle's seat belt to ensure a secure installation). It also includes a GOTS organic cotton infant car seat in front seat insert, making it an option for parents who prefer organic alternatives for their child.

The Pipa Aire RX weighs only 6 lbs. without the canopy or inserts. It is one of the lightest infant car seat available. This is thanks to the revolutionary Aeroflex foam, which is extremely light yet resilient, minimizing force transferred to your baby in a crash. Other security features include the five-second steel-reinforced True Lock base installation, side-impact protection, and a multiposition steel stability leg with a crumple area to reduce forward rotation, resulting in greater rearward-facing security.

Cleaning up after a messy family member shouldn't be. The fabrics and inserts in the Pipa Aire RX are machine washable, which means you can keep your car seat looking as good as new after every use.

5. Nuna Pipa Urbn

Nuna's PIPA air rx and PIPA Rx car seats are fantastic choices. But the newly launched Pipa Urbn is a step beyond. The ultralight infant seat is easy to carry and weighs less than 7 pounds when the canopy and insert are connected. It also comes with elegant user-friendly design with practical features like buckle holders with magnetic buckles to help keep straps clear while you're buckling baby in, and a green/red indicator to tell you that the installation is secure (we wish all car seats had this! ).

Contrary to the Pipa RX and the other base-compatible PIPA models that require an automobile base to be installed, this one can be installed without a base thanks to its unique pipaFIX rigid latch system. This makes it the perfect choice for parents that frequently take taxis, rideshare services, or travel.

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 green-friendly materials include the Merino Wool and Tencel brand-name blend of Lyocell fibres for the headrest and a water-resistant machine washable cover.

It's still a great choice for infants. This car seat is travel system-ready and pairs seamlessly with all Nuna strollers. You just need to click it on or attach using the ring adapter.
