Before going into the nitty-gritty of car seat types and features, keep in mind these helpful guidelines:

  • Choose a seat that you find easy to use and that fits in your vehicle. Be sure it can be buckled tightly.
  • Look for a seat you can use in the rear-facing position for as long as possible.
  • Be aware of weight limits.
  • Keep in mind that if you buy an infant-only seat, you will need an infant/toddler (convertible) seat later.
  • Determine what type of seat you need based on your child's age and weight (see the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's chart).
  • Be sure it's a car seat. Sounds like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised at how easy it is to confuse some top-of-the-line carriers with car seats. Make sure the product description specifies "car seat."
  • Look for car seats featuring easy-release latches and buckles. When your hands are full, an easy release can save aggravation.
  • Make sure there's wiggle room. You want baby to be comfortable year-round, so allow room in the seat for bundling up during cold weather. Make sure the product description indicates that the seat accommodates larger youngsters than yours.

There are as many opinions about the safest, most comfortable, and most convenient car seats as there are car seats. But there is only one absolute to follow in the process: a baby car seat must pass Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Make sure when you're shopping around that the seat you choose has passed muster.
