How to Choose the Best Car Seat Newborn

The best car seat newborn is one that meets federal safety standards, fits in your vehicle, has convenient extras (like changing into the stroller) and is within your budget. It's also worth ensuring the baby car seat clicks into and out of your car without difficulty especially if you frequently shift between taxis or rides in rental cars and grandparents' vehicles.

Safety

A high-quality car seat will have extra features that go beyond the federal safety standards. These include padded inserts to the head and shoulders, air-repellent fabrics to help keep them cool in hot vehicles, and side-impact protection.

Easy installation and use of the seat is an important aspect of safety. Ideally, you should be able to snap it into place with minimal effort and with clear indicators that it's secure and level, as well as positioned properly.

There are many features that help you with this like belt guides and built-in lockoffs which will assist you in aligning the car seat with the seat belt of your vehicle. It is also important to avoid buying used car seats, as they may not be crash-tested or have been in an accident and might not protect your child. If you are forced to purchase an old car seat, ensure that it has an expiration and that the seller isn't an individual or a private party who doesn't have evidence of ownership.

One other thing to keep in mind is to keep your baby in the car seat for up to two hours per day, unless they are lying down in a supine position. This is to reduce the spine from becoming strained and to ensure they have the chance to breathe regularly.

You'll want a seat that will last for a long time since it's an important investment. Find one that's designed to adapt to your child's needs, which will last through toddlerhood and through the teen years. Our testers for parents were satisfied with the Axkid i-Size. It is suitable for children as young as birth and can be used until age 7.

The Nuna pipa aire rx is another option that can be used for a long time. It is 360-degree in rotation which means that you can change it from rear-facing to front-facing as your child grows. It is also one of lightest rotating infant car seat car seat on the market, weighing less than nine pounds. It's a great choice for parents who need to move their baby between vehicles frequently or are planning to use it for taxi rides, holiday fly-drives and trips with grandparents.

Comfort

A good infant car seat is comfortable for your baby, both in the seat as well as when you are installing it. Find straps with padding that fit snugly on their shoulders. Also, look for soft fabric that is comfortable on their tummy, especially when they are in the seat for long drives.

The most effective infant car seats are simple to use. Some have LATCH connectors of premium quality with a SuperCinch force multiplier and tightener. Some also have spring-loaded leveling legs and belt paths that make installing without a base easier than ever. Other features allow you to adjust the harness height and headrest, which is particularly important as your child grows.

Cosatto All in All Rotate is a prime example. Our testers from our parent company gave it 10 out of 10. It has an easy, clear interface and an easy-to-adjust, no-rethread harness, as well as a recline lock indicator and 360-degree rotation. It is possible to easily change your child's position from front-facing to rear-facing as they grow without having to remove and replace the seat.

Nuna Pipa Aire Rx is a similar example. Our parents who tested it loved it for its comfort simple and adaptability. Its padded shoulder straps as well as headrests are designed to accommodate your newborn's head, and it comes with a soft infant car seat swivel cushion to ensure that they are comfortable. It can be used in a rear-facing position until your child is at the maximum height or weight limit. It then converts to an infant stroller.

A good car seat will be durable and some have a warranty. Look for the seat with plenty of padding and durable materials to protect your child from accidents. It should also have steel frames to absorb the force of impact and a "crumple area" to avoid damage from a crash. It should be easy to clean, as accidents are sure to happen with a child. To make cleaning easier, look for a car seat with removable covers and pads that can be washed in the machine.

Easy to Use

It is essential that the car seat you choose to purchase is simple to install and use, particularly when it is going to be used in a variety of vehicles from time to time. Look for features such as an easy-release buckle, a gauge that shows 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 comes with a variety of useful extras that our parents testers loved, such as the headrest and harness that are padded, plush fabric and a cup holder. It also has a reclining feature that lets your child sit in a comfortable and ergonomic position during longer journeys. It can be used in conjunction with a buggy that is compatible to create an entire travel system. This is ideal when you plan to travel for a long duration.

It is suitable from birth. Our panelists found this car seat to be easy to put in and adjust. It comes with recline locks and an excellent connector that has a SuperCinch tightener. This made it simple to ensure your child's safety. It can also be moved from side to side in the vehicle without the need for tools.

One of our favorite features is the reclining feature that makes it easier to take your baby in and out of the car. This is especially helpful for those with back problems or have a smaller vehicle. It also features an adjustable drink holder that can be reversible, and a handy storage compartment for snacks and toys.

The seat is lightweight and can be used with or without the base. It also rotates 180 degrees, which could be a lifesaver when you are in a tight space or suffer from back pain. Our panelists were awed by this new feature which won a spot in our 2021 Mother&Baby awards.

It's an excellent choice for anyone looking to convert their car seat into a stroller at an affordable cost. Its sleek design and high-end materials will stand up to the test time. Make sure to clean your cover regularly because smashed yogurt spills, biscuits, and the odd sick toddler accident is sure to leave a footprints!

Design

The styles of car seats are as diverse as the vehicles they're installed in. Some parents opt to ditch the baby car seats and opt for a convertible model. However, the majority of new mothers want something that will expand with their child through the toddler years. The most flexible option is an all-in-one baby car seat, which allows you to switch between rear-facing and forward-facing. It typically has a higher weight and height limit, and it is often used as a booster seat when your child is old enough to need one.

An ideal infant car seat newborn car seat is light which makes it easy to lift it from the base and then carry your child. The Maxi-Cosi Coral is available in only a handful of colors but it has a number of safety features, and is lightweight (8.4 pounds, including seat inserts and canopy). Nuna PIPA URbN is another model that stands out since it was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Car Seat Group category for 0/0+ due to high-end features such as the Dream drape and a fully-covered canopy with UPF 50+.

The seat's design and the base must be considered. For example, some car seats come with a base that locks into the buckles on the seat belts and others use steel-reinforced LATCH connectors which flip out from the sides of the base and turn green when attached correctly. These were useful for parents, particularly if the vehicle only had front-facing seat belts.

Some infant car seat that swivels car seats can be utilized with a regular seatbelt, but without the base this is a great benefit for parents who often travel by taxi or travel with their baby. The Nuna TODL NEXT was a popular choice among our parent testers. It can be used with or without the base, and it has a smooth swivel that makes it easier to get your baby inside and out.

Other important considerations for design are whether the car seat is a lie flat design, and how well it will fit into your specific car (see our guide to car seat compatibility). If you're looking for a car seat newborn that will grow with your baby into a booster, look for one with an adjustable headrest that can be reclining and side impact protection. It's also worth checking that your chosen infant car seat is i-Size compatible and has the right car seat attachment points, as per UK law.
