Car Seat Reviews:
Find the Best Car Seat with Confidence
Car seat shopping can feel like a full-time job. There are endless choices, mixed reviews, and “expert” opinions that don’t always agree. We get it. That’s why our team of child passenger safety experts (and moms) created honest, easy-to-understand car seat reviews to help you make the right choice without the overwhelm.
Each review breaks down what actually matters: safety features, real-world performance, ease of use, and even the little quirks no one tells you about. You’ll know exactly what to expect before you buy.
Whether you’re shopping for an infant seat, convertible, booster, or travel-friendly option, our in-depth reviews help you find the safest, best-fitting car seat for your child, your car, and your life.
Not Sure Which Seat to Choose? Let’s Make It Simple.
The safest car seat is the one that fits your child, vehicle, and lifestyle — and that’s exactly what our free Car Seat Finder Quiz helps you figure out.
Answer six quick questions and get expert-recommended seats tailored to your needs so you can skip the stress and buy with confidence.
Britax Willow S - Canada
The Britax Willow S is one of the latest infant seats from Britax. Unlike its predecessor, the Willow, which is only available as part of a travel system, the Willow S can be purchased separately. Additionally, the Willow S features an anti-rebound bar on the base for enhanced safety. Like the Willow, this seat also has a ClickTight mechanism on the base, which we love due to how easy it makes getting a tight installation!

Safety 1st Comfort Ride (Meets New Standards)
The Safety 1st Comfort Ride is one of the most inexpensive seats that has a no-rethread harness! It can harness average-sized children until around five years of age, and it also has high back and backless booster modes. It’s also very lightweight, so it could be a good option for parents who travel frequently. We did have some issues with the child fit in the backless booster mode; see below.

Clek Foonf (Meets New Standards)
The Clek Foonf, introduced in 2012, has become a trusted choice for parents in the US and Canada. It’s one of the narrowest car seats on the market today, and it stands out as one of the only harnessed seats in both countries that features rigid lower anchors for forward-facing installation. This unique characteristic is an energy management feature that reduces the crash forces that go to the child. It also boasts advanced safety features for rear-facing mode, such as an anti-rebound bar that minimizes seat movement during crashes. With its longevity in the market and commitment to safety, the Clek Foonf continues to be a go-to car seat for parents seeking reliability, versatility, and the capability to accommodate multiple car seats side by side.

Graco Turn2Me (Meets New Standards)
If you have been looking at all of the car seats with a rotation feature and were wondering if there was one available that is compact, this new version of the Graco Turn2Me (meets new side-impact standards) may be the seat you are looking for. If you desire a swivel seat that is compact front-to-back but also fits newborns, we would recommend looking at the Nuna Revv instead. We’ll explain further down in this post why we don’t recommend using the Graco Turn2Me from birth. However, if your child is at least 6 months old, this option may work for you.
