How to Choose the Best Car Seat Newborn
The best car seat newborn is one that is compliant with federal safety standards, is compatible with your vehicle, has convenient extras (like changing into strollers) and fits within your budget. It's also worth checking 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 or grandparents vehicles.
Safety
Car seats are made to protect your baby and a safe one should come with additional features that go beyond federal safety standards. These include padded inserts to the head and shoulders and air-repellent fabrics that help keep them cool in hot car seats by age and side-impact protection.
Another important aspect to consider is the ease to set up and use the seat. Ideally, you want to be in a position to snap it in place with little effort and with clear indicators that it's safe and level, as well as positioned properly.
Find features that allow you to accomplish this, such as locks built-in to the seat and belt guides that can help to align the car seat to the vehicle's seatbelt. You also want to avoid buying used car seats, as they may not be tested for crash safety or have been involved in an accident and may not be safe for your child. If you do decide to purchase an old one ensure that it's not expired and isn't being sold by an individual who does not have proof of ownership.
It's also important to keep in mind that you should only leave your baby in the car seat up to two hours per day, unless it is in a flat position. This is to avoid strain on their developing spine and ensure that they get a chance to breathe regularly.
You'll want a seat to last for a long time, as it is a significant investment. Pick a seat that can develop with your child and last from toddlerhood to teens. Our testers for parents were impressed with the Axkid i-Size. It is suitable for children from birth, and can be used until age 7.
The Nuna pipa air rx is an alternative that can be used for a long time. It rotates 360 degrees, so you can change it from front-facing to rear-facing as your child grows. It's also one of the lightest rotating car seats available and weighs less than nine pounds without its base. It's the ideal choice for parents who frequently transfer their babies between vehicles or are planning on using it for taxi rides, fly-drive holidays, and trips to grandparent's houses.
Comfort
A well-designed infant car seat will be comfortable for your baby both in the seat as well as when you are installing it. Find straps that are padded to fit comfortably around their shoulders, and 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 period of time.
The best car seat for infants is also simple to use. Some come with premium LATCH connectors with a SuperCinch force multiplier that tightens the seat. Some also come with spring-loaded leveling legs as well as belt paths that make installing without a base easier than ever.

One example is the Cosatto All in All Rotate test, which our parents scored 10/10 for its ease of use. It comes with an easy-to-use interface, and a simple-to-adjust no-rethread harness and recline lock indicators 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.
Another instance is the Nuna Pipa Air rx which our testers who were parents loved for its ease of use, comfort and versatility.

A good car seat will be durable, and some will even come with a guarantee. Choose an item that is made up of padding and durable materials to protect your child from accidents. It should also have an aluminum frame to withstand impact energy as well as an "crumple area" to stop damage from crashes. It must be easy to clean, as accidents are sure to happen with a child. Look for a car seat with removable seat covers and a pad that is machine washable to make cleanup a breeze.

However, most new mothers want something that can grow with their child into the toddler years.
