Britax Willow - Canada
The Britax Willow was the first in a new series of infant seats from Britax. This model only comes as part of a travel system. But since this seat is newer, the Britax strollers are some of the only compatible options, so don't let that deter you! The base features ClickTight technology to help you easily achieve a tight seat belt installation.

CARES Child Aviation Restraint System
The CARES child aviation restraint is a lightweight, FAA-approved alternative to a car seat for air travel. Weighing just one pound, it’s an excellent option for caregivers who don’t need a car seat at their destination or are flying with an international airline that does not allow car seats. Many airlines worldwide permit the use of CARES, but it's always best to check with your airline before traveling.
Britax Marathon ClickTight
The Britax Marathon was recently discontinued as Britax slims down their product offerings. But it is still in stock at this time, and it's a seat that has a lot of great features! We especially love the simple seat belt installation, the tall harness height, and how compact front to back this seat is.

It's one of the lightest seats that has a built-in seat belt lock-off, which has made it a favorite for international travel! There is also a fabric option that is free of flame retardants if that is important to you.

Britax Cypress
The Britax Cypress is the latest of the Britax infant seats. Like the Willow S and Willow SC, it comes with the Alpine base that features an anti-rebound bar and Britax's ClickTight technology. This seat also has the one-hand adjustable carry handle like the Willow SC does. The Cypress comes with more inserts than the Willow series infant seats have.

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.

Graco SnugRide Lite LX (Meets New Standards)
The Graco SnugRide Lite LX car seat is one of the lighter infant seats on the market at only 7 pounds. It’s also one of the most affordable options for families who are on a tight budget or who do not want to spend a lot on an infant seat, especially with it having stroller compatibility with Graco stroller frames too. It’s also quite compact front to back, so it’s a great option for many families.

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.
