How to Choose the Best Car Seat Newborn

The best car seat for newborns is one that is compliant with federal safety standards, fits in your vehicle, comes with useful extras (like making it the stroller) and fits within your budget. It's also important to ensure that the infant car seat can be inserted into and out of your car with ease especially if you frequently switch between taxis or trips in rental cars or grandparents' vehicles.

Safety

A high-quality car seat comes with extra features that go above and beyond federal safety standards. They include padded inserts for the head and shoulders, air-repellent fabrics to help keep them cool in hot vehicles, and side-impact protection.

Look for features that allow you to do this, such as locks built-in to the seat and belt guides that can help you line up the car seat to the vehicle's seatbelt. Avoid purchasing used car seats that might not have been tested for safety, or which might have been involved in an accident. They could not protect 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 evidence of ownership.
