Best Car Seat Newborn: What's The Only Thing Nobody Is Talking About > 고객센터

How to Choose the Best Car Seat Newborn

The best car seat for newborns is one that is compliant with federal safety standards, is compatible with your car, has useful features (like turning into strollers) and fits within your budget. You should also make sure that the car seat can be easily inserted into and out of any vehicle, particularly when you frequently switch between rental cars, taxis or grandparents' vehicles.

Safety

A good car seat will have extra features that are above the safety standards of the federal government. They include padded inserts for the shoulders and head and air-repellent fabrics that help keep them cool in hot vehicles and side-impact safety.

The ease of installation and use of the seat is an important aspect of safety. Ideally, the seat should be simple to install and use, and with clear indicators of its level, position, and security.

There are features that can aid in this process like belt guides and built-in lockoffs which will assist you in aligning the car seat with your vehicle's seatbelt. You also want to avoid buying used car seats, as they might not be tested for crash safety or have been involved in an accident and might not be safe for your child. If you have to purchase a used car seat, make sure it's not expired and isn't being sold by an individual seller who does not have proof of ownership.

Another thing to keep in your mind is to only leave your infant in the car seat for a maximum of two hours per day, unless they're in a lying-flat position. This will reduce strain on the spine of your child and ensure they are able to breath regularly.

You'll want a seat to last for a long time, since it's an important investment. Find one that's designed to adapt with your child and will last into the toddler years and on into the teenage years. One of the ones our parents loved was the Axkid One i-Size that is suitable from birth and can be used for up to 7 years old.

Nuna pipa air rx is another option that can be used for a long time. It rotates 360 degrees, making it possible to change it from rear-facing into front-facing as the child grows. It's also among the most light-weight car seats available with a weight of less than nine pounds. It's a great choice for parents who move their child frequently between cars or are planning to use it for taxi rides, holiday fly-drives, and trips with grandparents.

Comfort

It is important that your baby feels comfortable in their car seat both when they are in it and after you install it. Look for padded straps which are comfortable to wear around their shoulders. Also, look for soft fabric that is comfortable under their tummy. This is particularly important in the event that you plan to use the seat for a long duration.

The best infant car seats are simple to use. Some come with premium LATCH connectors with a SuperCinch force-multiplying tightener, spring-loaded leveling feet as well as belt paths that make installing without the 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.

Cosatto All in All Rotate is a prime example. Our test subjects gave it a score of 10 out of 10. It has a simple, clear interface and an easy-to-adjust no-rethread harness and also an indicator for recline 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 aire rx, which our testers who were parents loved for its convenience, comfort and flexibility. Its padded shoulder straps and headrest are designed to support the head of your newborn and comes with pillows that are soft for your comfort. It can be used in a back-facing position until your child is at the maximum weight or height limit. Then, it converts into an infant stroller.

A quality car seat will be durable and some come with a warranty. Choose the seat with plenty of padding and durable materials to shield your child from any injuries. It should also come with a steel frame to absorb impact energy, and a "crumple area" to avoid damage from a crash. It must also be easy to clean, as messiness is inevitable when you have a baby. To make cleaning easier, look for a car seat that has removable covers and pads that can be washed in the machine.

Simple to Use

It is essential that a car seat be simple to install and use, particularly in the event that it will be used in different vehicles from time to time. To make it as easy as possible, look for features such as a belt that can be released quickly, an indicator to show the condition of the latch (e.g. green for locked) and a user manual that is easy to read.

The Best of The Bump winner also comes with several useful extras that our parents testers loved, including an padded headrest and padded harness, plush fabric and a cup holder. It also comes with a reclining feature that allows your child to be seated in a more ergonomic position for longer journeys. It can be used in conjunction with a buggy that is compatible to create a complete travel system. This is ideal when you plan to travel for a long time.

It is suitable from birth. Our panelists found this car seat simple to install and adjust. It has an indicator for recline and an exclusive LATCH connector with a SuperCinch force-multiplying tightener, which makes the process of securing your child easy. It can also be moved from side to side of the vehicle easily without the use of tools.

One of our favorite features is the recline feature that helps you get your infant in and out of the car. This is especially helpful when you are suffering from back pain or have a smaller vehicle. It also has the ability to change the drink holder as well as a convenient storage compartment for snacks and toys.

The seat weighs just nine pounds and can be used with or without its base. It can also be rotated around 180 degrees. This is a great feature for those who are tight in space or have back pain. This feature has impressed our panelists and was selected for inclusion in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards.

This is an excellent option for those who want to transform their car seats into strollers for a reasonable price. Its sleek design and high-end materials will stand up to the test of time. Don't forget to wash the cover regularly as spills of yoghurt or biscuits that are crushed, and even sickening toddler accidents will leave their marks.

Design

The styles of car seats are as varied as the vehicles they're installed in. Some parents opt to not use an infant car seat in favor of a convertible model. However, most new mothers prefer a product that can expand with their child through the age of toddlerhood. The most versatile choice is an all-in-one infant car seat that allows you to change between rear-facing and forward-facing. It typically has a greater weight and height limit, and it is often used as a booster seat when your child is ready for one.

A great car seat for your infant newborn is lightweight which makes it easy to lift it from the base and then carry your baby in it. The Maxi-Cosi Coral is available in only a handful of colors, however it comes with a wide array of safety features and is also light (8.4 pounds including seat inserts and canopy). Other standout models include 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 for newborn Car Seat Group 0/0+, thanks to its high-end features like the Dream drape and a full-coverage UPF 50+ canopy.

The design of the base and seat should be taken into consideration. Some car seats have an attached base that is locked into the vehicle seat belt buckles. Some have steel-reinforced connectors for LATCH which flip out of the sides of the base when correctly joined. These were a great option for parents, especially when the vehicle only had front-facing seatbelts.

Some infant car seats can be used with a standard seatbelt, but without the base that is great for parents who often take taxis or need to travel with their infant car seat that swivels. The Nuna TODL NEXT was a popular choice among our parents who tested it. It can be used either with or without the base, and has a smooth swivel that makes it easier to get your baby inside and out.

Other important design considerations are whether the car seat is an open design, and how well it fits into your particular car (see our guide to car seat compatibility). If you are looking for an infant car seat that can expand with your child's growth into a booster seat pick a model with an adjustable backrest as well as side impact protection. Make sure that the rotating infant car seat car seat you select is iSize-compliant, and that it uses the appropriate car seat attachment points in accordance with UK law.
