Car seat???

Question

I'm expecting & wondering what car seat I should look into buying. What is the best car seat & why? Please comment :)

Answer

I'm a huge fan of the Chicco Key Fit 30. I bought a Graco with my 1st baby and was so not impressed with it that I returned it and got the Chicco. So glad I did! So easy to use, the base is way more substantial, their latch is my favorite/easiest to install, it's fairly narrow and it's crash test ratings are super high.

Answer

I'm a Britax fan. A couple things I would suggest to look for are the actual weight of the bucket, as it can get heavy when added to the weight of your infant. And also the maximum infant weight/height specs, so your infant won't outgrow it too soon. Of course these suggestions are all in addition to safety ratings. Happy shopping!!

Answer

I've had grace and not a bad brand but they use metal for their buckles and can tend to burn you or baby when being done up if left in vehicle. I have a baby tenda now and like it it has a key lock system so I feel safe using it and no burn issues.

Answer

We haven't picked yet, but I handle serious claims for a car insurance company, so safety is more important than anything to us. I'm starting with the top safety ratings and researching from there: http://www.safercar.gov/parents/mobile/carseats/right-car-seat-age-size.htm
