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.

Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 (Meets New Standards)
The original Graco Extend2Fit (review) convertible car seat was one of the first with a 50-pound rear-facing limit! This updated version is even better than the original! It’s still one of the best convertible car seats for small cars, making it a great option for tall front-seat passengers, compact vehicles, or any situation with limited front-to-back space! The Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 has an easier-to-tighten harness and a high-back booster mode. It also doesn’t have the under 40-pound forward-facing recline issue that the original Extend2Fit does.

Evenflo Shyft DualRide (Meets New Standards)
The Evenflo Shyft DualRide is a unique car seat that also functions as a stroller. As of today, the DualRide and the Doona are the only two infant seats on the market that have this feature — all other infant car seats have to be clicked into a separate compatible stroller. If you want to compare Doona versus DualRide, watch this. Here’s the Doona review.
The DualRide has the unique ability to detach the stroller wheelbase from the carrier, leaving you with a standard infant carrier! This car seat was designed to make traveling with a baby easier and more convenient, eliminating the need to carry around a separate stroller — but with the option to skip the stroller wheels, this car seat can truly transform into the most convenient solution for any situation. It’s an excellent option for busy parents who love the idea of a stroller and car seat in one.

Safety 1st Slimride
This is one of the newest narrow seats on the market at 17″ wide. It’s touted as an all-in-one seat, but with the backless booster limit currently at 52,” you will need another backless booster once this seat is outgrown. But since backless boosters are inexpensive, this won’t be a dealbreaker for most people. This seat will still last many kids until 7 or 8 years old.
