Top Rated Infant Car Seats

Not all infant car seats are made equally. The most effective seats come with features that improve crash test performance. For instance, load legs are shock absorbing parts that are attached to the seat or base and help to reduce movement during a collision.

A favorite among CPST instructors is the Chicco KeyFit, which has a large rear-facing weight limit and height limit, an indicator for the level of bubbles, and a spring-loaded reclining foot that makes it easy to set up.

Graco Mesa Max

The Graco Mesa Max ranks as one of the easiest infant car seats best car seats to use. It is an easy-to-use design and top fabrics. It also comes with an innovative feature that lets you attach the child's harness directly to the headrest. It has a huge canopy that can be hidden away to keep your child sheltered when they travel. The only drawback is that it's slightly heavier than the average, which might be a problem if you plan to lug it around or want it to pair with your award-winning UPPAbaby stroller.

Mesa Max's impressive crash test results demonstrate its commitment to top-quality safety. It scored highly in both the frontal and side impact tests, ensuring that your baby will be safe from the two sides of a collision.

Another notable safety feature is the Graco's antirebound panel, which helps reduce the force of rebound during a crash and ensures that your child's head is protected. This is a rare feature in car seats for infants and makes the Mesa Max stand out among its rivals.

Graco Mesa Max can easily and securely be fitted into your vehicle with LATCH combined with the base. The load leg, recline angle adjustment as well as the tightness indicator help ensure a fast, accurate installation. The base weighs 12.6 lbs which is slightly heavier than the average car seat for infants, but not enough to be an issue.

Similar to its predecessor, the UPPAbaby Mesa V2, the Mesa Max uses dual-knit fabric which is free of harmful chemicals. It features an infinitely adjustable backrest and an extremely durable insert for infants who weigh between 4 and 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 options, but it has premium features and advanced safety technologies for an optimal traveling experience. The base is included and comes in a range of stylish colors. This is a great addition to the value proposition. Its thoughtful design and robust features provide peace of mind for parents on their every trip.

Britax Boulevard ClickTight

The Britax Blvd ClickTight is a great option for parents looking for a car seat that their child can develop with. Its rear-facing capacity is 40 pounds, which is higher than the majority of best infant car seat car seats. Furthermore, it can also be used as a forward-facing child seat until your child reaches 65 pounds.

Its most prominent selling point is the ClickTight Installation System, which is the most secure and user-friendly on the market. It allows you to tighten the seat belt by pressing an orange release button and pulling on the harness strap and not having to loosen it and re-thread it. This reduces the risk of not tightening the correct belt, which is the leading cause of car seat failure.

The EZ-Buckle Pad is a further security feature that keeps the buckle in place while you place your child in the car seat. This feature, along with beltpath cutouts along the sides of your child's seat, makes it simple to get them into and out of the car.

All three ClickTight convertible seat models (Boulevard CT, Marathon CT, Advocate CT) share the similar features. ClickTight Installation System is one of them. Also included are an impact-absorbing frame that has 7 recline positions.

The seat is fairly heavy, but you may want to think about a lighter option if you are planning to use it for travel infant car seat or frequent car swaps. The seat is quite large and could not be suitable for smaller vehicles.

If you're looking to find a budget seat with similar quality the Graco 4Ever is a great option. This seat has lower crash tests scores than the Boulevard but is still an excellent choice for your child.

The Graco also comes with LATCH connectors with push-on connections which make it much easier to remove the seat. Boulevard's LATCH connectors utilize a different release system that requires you to pull on the webbing, then press an orange button. This can be difficult if your webbing is tense. This seat has a convenient compartment to store the belt straps.

Clek Liing

If you're looking for a baby car seat that offers it all -- style, safety, convenience and luxury -- you'll love the Clek Liing. This rear-facing car seat is easy to install, has a high crash test rating and a range of features.

The Liing is made with features that go beyond US and Canadian safety standards. It was designed for easy and secure installation in any seating position. It also has advanced safety features such as an energy-absorbing metal foot and two pieces of shell that is lined with EPP for enhanced side impact protection. The base features 7 recline positions and a trusty bubble indicator to let you know precisely when the seat is at the right angle for your infant.

Parents love the Liing's modern and sleek design, and its unique safety features, such as rigid lower anchors that are simpler to attach than hook-and-loop connectors. The Liing also comes with a convenient quick release with a single-handed button that makes it easy to remove it from the base or to use with various strollers compatible with it. At less than 17 inches in width it's small enough to fit 3-across in most vehicles and fits nicely into many convertible car seats as a travel infant car seat booster.

The Liing infant seat is rated first for its unique rigid-LATCH system of installation. Lower anchors of the Liing snap into the seat belt slots of the vehicle and the top tether strap snaps onto the headrest of the vehicle. This results in a secure, secure fit which reduces the risk that the child could be thrown around in an accident.

The seat is light, with the base weighing 9 pounds and the carrier itself at an easy 10.5 pounds. Other rear-facing seats are much heavier in weight however if you're planning on schlepping the car seat and its base everywhere, the slight difference won't be too obvious (especially once you add a baby to the equation! ).

Parents love the Liing's built-in canopy and 100+spf of protection from the sun's rays by a mesh peekaboo. Caregivers appreciate the blanket made of merino, which keeps the baby warm and the capability of the handle to pivot away from the canopy. This allows parents to grab the seat whenever they need it.

Graco Trio Grow SnugLock LX

The Graco Trio SnugLock LX is a 3-in-1 car seat that converts from rear-facing infant, forward-facing harness, and then to highback booster. It has the SnugLock system which allows for an easy and smooth installation using either lower anchors or vehicle seat belts. It can be installed using the top tether when in booster mode. (We recommend using the lower anchors for extra security.)

This seat is perfect for children of all ages. For babies who are just beginning to crawl, it has an infant insert that helps to support their necks and backs. When they get older, this insert can be removed and the seat is used as a regular car seat for toddlers. This is the only car seats that allow the top tether to be used in booster mode. We recommend it.

Its base is pretty compact from front to back and it shouldn't be a problem to find a spot for it in most vehicles. The headrest must be raised in order for the lower anchor webbing to pass through. There's a knob that is handy for adjusting the headrest, and the display window displays the location of the headrest.

One of the most unique features about this seat is the SnugLock installation system that's an anchor that is within the belt path. This makes fitting this car seat with the lower anchors an easy task and nearly as simple as using the vehicle seat belt.

The manual also provides an excellent illustration of how to correctly connect the lower anchor connectors while routing them through the new belt path, which can be a bit confusing initially. It is important to keep them away from the crotch buckle loop, and away from the chest clip, so they don't interfere with the buckling system.

The Graco Trio Grow belongs to the Protect Plus Engineered Family, which means it has been subjected some of the most rigorous testing in the market. This includes rear, side and rollover crashes, as well in frontal impact tests.
