How to Choose the Best Car Seat Newborn

The best infant carrier car seat car seat newborn is one that meets federal safety standards, is compatible with your vehicle, has convenient extras (like turning into the stroller) and works with your budget. It's also important to ensure that the infant car seat can be inserted into and out of your car without difficulty especially if you frequently shift between taxis or rides in rental cars and grandparents vehicles.

Safety

Car seats are designed to ensure your baby is safe and a quality one should include extra features that go beyond the federal safety standards. These include padded inserts on the head and shoulders and also air-repellent fabric to keep them cool when driving in hot weather.

Another important aspect to consider is the ease to install and use the seat. Idealy, the seat should be easy to install and use, with clear indicators of its level and position as well as security.

You can find features that help you with this including belt guides and built-in lockoffs that will help you align the car seat with the seat belt of your vehicle. Avoid buying used car seats that may not have been tested for safety or have been involved in an accident. They may not be safe for your child. If you do decide to purchase an old one be sure that it has an expiration date and isn't being sold by an individual seller who doesn't have evidence of ownership.

It's also important to keep in mind that you should only allow your child in the car seat up to two hours a day, unless you are in a flat position. This will help prevent strain on the spine of your child and ensure they have a chance to breathe regularly.

You'll need a seat that can last a long time, because it's a major investment. Select a seat that will grow with your child's development and last through toddlerhood to teen years. One of the ones our parents liked was the Axkid One i-Size that is suitable from birth and is able to be used until 7 years old.

The Nuna pipa aire rx is another option that can be used for a long time. It can rotate 360 degrees so you can change it from front-facing to rear-facing as your child grows. It's also among the lightest rotating car seats on the market, and weighs less than nine pounds without its base. It's an excellent choice for parents who need to move their baby between vehicles frequently or are planning to take it on taxi rides, holiday fly-drives and trips with grandparents.

Comfort

A good infant car seat will be comfortable for your child, both in the seat as well as when you are installing it. Find straps that are padded to fit snugly around their shoulders, and look for plush fabric that feels good under their tummy. This is particularly important in the event that you plan to use the seat for a long duration.

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

One example is the Cosatto All in All Rotate test, which our parents gave 10 out of 10 for ease of use. It has a clear and simple interface, a no-rethread easy-to-change harness, 360-degree rotation, and recline lock indicators. This means you can switch between forward and rear-facing positions as your baby grows without needing to take the seat off and replace it.

Nuna Pipa Aire Rx is a similar example. Our parent testers loved it for its ease of use simple and adaptability. Its padded shoulder straps as well as headrest are shaped to support your newborn's head and comes with an infant pillow that is soft to ensure they are comfortable. It can be used as a rear-facing car seat up until your baby is at the maximum height or weight limit and can also be converted into a stroller without the need for an additional adapter.

A good car seat is durable and many have a warranty. Find a seat that has solid materials and plenty of padding to shield your baby from any accidents and a steel frame that absorbs impact energy and a "crumple zone" to reduce the risk of damage. It should be easy to clean since accidents are likely to happen when you have the growing age of a child. Find car seats with removable seat covers and a pad that is machine washable to make cleaning easy.

Easy of Use

It's important that the car seat you choose to purchase is easy to install and use, particularly if it will be used in a variety of vehicles periodically. Look for features such as an easy-release buckle, an indicator that shows the status of the latch system (e.g. green for locked) and a user-friendly manual to make it as stress-free as possible.

The best car seat for newborn uk of The Bump winner comes with a variety of practical features that our parent testers loved, including the headrest and harness that are padded, plush fabric and a cup holder.

This is ideal when you plan to travel for a long duration.

This made it simple to secure your child. It can also be moved from side to side of the vehicle without the need for tools.

One of our most loved features is the recline feature that makes it easier to take your baby in and out of the car. This is particularly helpful when you are suffering from back pain or are driving a smaller vehicle. It also comes with an adjustable cup holder that can be reversible and a handy pocket for toys and snacks.

The seat is light and can be used with or without the base. It also rotates 180 degrees, which could be a huge help if you have limited space or are suffering from back pain. This feature was a big hit with our panelists, and it was awarded a place in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards.

Design

Car seat designs are as diverse as the cars they're installed in. Some parents opt to ditch the infant car seat in favor of a convertible model. However, most new mothers prefer a product that can develop with their child as they reach the age of toddlerhood. The most flexible choice is an all-in-one infant car seat that allows you to switch between forward-facing and rear-facing. It usually has a higher weight and height limit, and can be used as a booster when your child is old enough.

The ideal car seat for a newborn car seat is light and easy to lift it from the base and then carry your child. Our parents loved the Maxi-Cosi Coral, which is only available in a few colours, but offers plenty of safety features and is incredibly lightweight (at 8.4 pounds with seat inserts and canopy). Other models that stand out are the Nuna PIPA URbN and the Nuna PIPA URbN, which was a winner of Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Car Seat Group 0/0+ with its high-end features like the Dream drape and UPF 50+ full-coverage canopy.

The design of the base and seat should be taken into consideration. Some car seats come with bases that lock into the vehicle buckles for the seat belts. Others have steel reinforced connectors for LATCH that slide out of the sides of the base once properly attached. Parents found these convenient especially when their vehicle had only front-facing seatbelts, and no ISOFIX anchor points.

Some infant car seats can also be utilized with a regular seatbelt, but without the base this is a great benefit for parents who regularly take taxis or need to travel with their infant. The Nuna TODL NEXT was a top pick among our parent testers. It can be used either with or without the base, and has an easy swivel that allows you to easily get your baby seat inside and out.

Additionally, the design of a car seat is important. It should fit into your car. (See our guide on car seat compatibility). If you're in search of an infant car seat that can expand with your child into a booster seat, choose a model that features a reclined backrest and side impact protection. It's also worth checking that your selected infant car seat is iSize compliant and uses the correct car seat attachment points in accordance with UK law.
