Comfort is also an important factor, as the car ride can be stressful for a baby. Find seats that have soft fabrics, straps that are cushioned and is comfortable on the neck and shoulders.

Recently the Pipa Aire Lite is a less expensive but still safe car seat, was added to the product line.

The seat is more narrow compared to other models. This is great for most vehicles but could pose a problem when you have a small trunk. It doesn't also have a height adjustment on the shoulder straps, and the belt guides aren't padded enough to prevent friction against your baby's shoulders.

Overall, the seat is easy to set up and can accommodate most newborns with ease. It has a greater rear-facing limit than other seats and is easy to change between the reclining positions.

In general, we prefer narrower seats that can fit in two or three rows of cars and are less likely to be a nuisance to other car seats.

Chicco KeyFit is our favorite model in this category. It has received high marks from parents and experts, including CPST teacher Kecia Healy. The KeyFit line includes features that make it simple to install, such as the recline foot with a spring loaded mechanism and a bubble indicator on the base to ensure you ensure it is level. Healy also praises the tightening mechanism, which makes use of the SuperCinch belt-tightening mechanism to make it easier to secure the seat in place.
