Britax One4Life - Canada
Britax has recently discontinued many of their seats, such as the Marathon, Boulevard, Advocate, Allegiance, and Emblem convertible car seats. But the One4Life is staying on the market as far as we know! It comes with the ClickTight installation that we absolutely love. It makes the installation so quick and easy for caregivers. It also has a no-rethread harness with 15 headrest positions, which makes it easy to adjust the harness height as your child grows. It fits kids, with comfort, of many ages and sizes. Check out our Britax One4Life Car Seat review below to see if it is the right seat for your child!
Britax Poplar
The Britax Poplar is one of the newest seats from Britax. They have discontinued their Marathon, Boulevard, Advocate, Allegiance, and Emblem convertible car seats.

It also has a quick adjust headrest aka no-rethread harness like many seats on the market, which makes it easy to adjust the harness height as your child grows.

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!

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.

The Doona infant car seat is a stroller-car seat combo.

The Doona was designed to make traveling with a baby easier and more convenient, eliminating the need to carry around a separate stroller. It’s an excellent option for busy parents who are always on the go.
Evenflo Revolve Extend - Canada
If you are looking for a swivel car seat, the Evenflo Revolve Extend may be right for you! This seat offers a decent newborn fit, so it could be used from birth if you want to skip the infant car seat stage. It has a tall harness height, so it’s a long-lasting option for rear and forward-facing. And it offers high-back booster mode as well! This seat can swivel in all three modes of use, making it a useful accessibility tool for caregivers or children with disabilities.

Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1
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.
Diono Solana 2 LATCH
In this review, we’ll take a close look at why the Diono Solana 2 booster may be a good option for your booster-aged child.

Diono Monterey 5iST FixSafe - Canada
In this review, we’ll take a close look at why the Diono Monterey 5iST booster may be a good option for your booster-aged child. It’s a nice option for parents who travel often since it folds up. Additionally, if you have non-removable headrests in your vehicle, this is one of the high-back booster options that will work. This is a great high-back booster option for higher-percentile kids as well.
