Safety
Every infant car seat on the market must meet the safety standards of the federal government. However, some seats have extra features that go above the minimum requirements. They could include load legs and a built-in rethreader sides that support the straps, and more. The more features a car seat has, the more comfortable, according to the experts I spoke with.
The more user-friendly a car seat is and the more likely parents are to use it correctly and reduce their child's risk of injury in a crash. This is especially true for the infant car seat, as it's only designed for an extremely short time. Find a seat that is easy to install with a recline foot that is spring loaded and a bubble indicator to help get the seat level. Make sure that the base can be easily clicked into and out of the vehicle.
Some car seat manufacturers offer high-end features like a no-rethread strap as well as magnetic buckle holders and side grips to carry the seat. Remember that even though these features are fantastic but the safety of your car seat is only as good as the car that you use to drive. There are tips in the owner's manual about how to secure your infant car seat and find out more about the car's safety features.
When selecting an infant car seat, keep in mind that you'll probably only be in a position to use it for around 2 years, until your child is old enough to switch to an convertible car seat. Some families skip the infant car seat completely and opt for convertible cars, which has greater weight and height limit. If you decide to purchase an infant car seat, make sure to consider the dimensions of your vehicle and try out a variety of models in person prior to committing to one. You can then make sure the seat is suitable for your child, fits well in your car seat inserts for newborns, and comes with convenient extras like converting into a stroller. And, don't forget to look for recalls prior to making the purchase. It's the most crucial aspect to ensure your child's safety on the road.
Easy of Use
If you're planning to use the seat in a single car or moving it between several, you want an infant car seat that is simple to install and detach from the base. It is important to look for clear instructions on installation and a simple mechanism. Consider how easy it would be to adjust the seat as your child grows and the high-quality materials that are used.
One of the best features that infant seats have is a load leg, which serves as a brace between the seat's base and vehicle's floor to provide additional stability in the event of a crash. Consumer Reports research shows that it is particularly important if you are driving an older vehicle since the likelihood of sustaining a head injury is greater if the child is too close to the floor.
Other top features that enhance the infant car seat user experience include a harness with no-rethread and anti-rebound bar, which will prevent the seat from rebounding during the event of a crash. The latter has been shown to reduce the risk of head injury by up to 43 percent. "If you're on a limited budget and want the security of an ARC-certified car seat that has several key features that are premium, I would highly recommend the Evenflo LiteMax," says Babylist gear editor Jennifer LaBracio. The seat has received an outstanding rating from child safety technicians and features an adjustable no-rethread harness and five recline settings, as well as an extendable canopy that is secured with magnets to provide full coverage.
A seat that is easily installed with just lapbelts and does not require the necessity of the base is an alternative. That's ideal for parents who intend to use taxis or Uber rides, and doesn't require an extra journey back and forth to the car to put in a different seat. For example, the Nuna Pipa Urbn as well as its counterpart TRIV travel system feature a sturdy LATCH system that's integrated into the seat's bottom which makes it fast and easy to install in any car. It can also be used with a rear-facing (for children weighing between 4 and 40 pounds), forward-facing (for children weighing 22-65 pounds), and it converts into a belt-positioning or highback booster for children who weigh between 40 and 120 pounds. It's a great option for families with a tight budget.
Comfort
When your baby is in the car seat for extended periods of time, it's important they feel comfortable. This means padded straps on their shoulders, plush fabric that is soft against their back and tummy and a headrest that expands with them to accommodate their growing body. Also, look for a seat you can easily adjust as your child grows.
A car seat with a variety of features is usually more expensive, but it is also simpler to use. That's why we look at things like a one-hand harness system, high-quality LATCH connectors and a no-rethread harness when we evaluate infant car seats. We also consider dimensions and weight, since the weight or bulk of a seat can add stress to your biceps as you carry it in and out of your car, or in between cars.
A seat with a load leg -- a safety feature that aids in stabilizing the car seat in the event of a crash--is an alternative. It's usually found in more expensive seats but we've seen few budget-friendly options that include this additional safety feature.
Another thing to consider is height and weight limits. You'll want to ensure the seat is safe for your child after they reach their peak growth stage usually at around the age of two or three. It's also worth looking at convertible infant car seats that converts to an adult car seat. This gives you more flexibility and is perfect for families who frequently change cars or travel.

It's a great option for parents who are constantly on the move, especially those who use public transport to commute to work or go to school. It is also easy to put in. Our experts who tested it praised its ease of use with the one-handed latching mechanism and the shoulder straps that are padded. Our product testers also remarked how small the seat is it is essential for those with a limited trunk space.

Convenience

Be sure to consider whether the seat can be washed by a machine (to simplify cleaning) and if it comes with a canopy. This is beneficial in the car as well as on the stroller.
One feature that might seem like a small difference but can save you a lot of trouble is a meter on the base that lets you know that it's been properly installed. This line should be parallel to ground and is situated on the base. It can be particularly helpful in the event that you'll be switching the car seat frequently, or if intend to travel with your child and require the seat in taxis or Ubers.
Another useful feature is the ability to attach an appropriate stroller directly to the infant car seat which makes it easier to carry your sleeping bundle of joy from the car to the store or on errands without having to wrestle with the separate baby car seat carrier. This could be a great advantage for new parents looking to return to their normal routine after a long commute or outing with a baby.
If your baby is likely to grow quickly, you should choose an infant car seat with a higher weight and height limit than that recommended by the manufacturer. You can use the car seat for longer.
