Safest Infant Car Seat 2011
In a sense, there is no safest infant car seat, so to speak, because all
Basically, no official institution actually tells you what the seat has gone through to be worth X points towards safety, so all you know for sure is that all car seats you see on the market have passed a certain “safety test”.
That, on the one hand, should put you at rest, but on the other hand, it isn’t an excuse to buy a random car seat.
Basically, the safest infant car seat will be the one that fits your baby perfectly and is used properly, 100% of the time. In that sense, you are better off buying an infant car seat that is easy to install and has all the funky features, so to speak.
Some seats do incorporate additional features that are beyond what is needed to pass the official safety test. We recommend that you pick Safety First Onboard 35 – it is great and they have a special model that is call Safety First Air Onboard 35 – with air cushioning that will reduce the impact of collision. Side and head impact protection is there, too, which definitely puts you more at rest knowing that the head of your child, as well as his or her neck are protected well.
Pick:
Safety 1st onBoard 35 Infant Car Seat
Graco Snugride 35 Infant Car Seat, Clairmont
Chicco Keyfit 30 Infant Car Seat, Adventure
Between Chicco Keyfit 30 and Graco Snugfit, we would pick Keyfit if you have issues with a wider Graco Snugfit. In any case, you can’t go wrong with any of the car seats that we pointed above. The ratings are the highest for Keyfit 30, obviously, – a fan favorite and the best seller.
Pay attention to the instructions, the item specs and features (Does it fit the size of your baby? Do you need a 35 lbs weight limit or you can do with a 30 lbs? Does it fit your car?) and you should be okay.
