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.

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, the Graco Turn2Me 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.

If you are looking for a forward-facing-only seat, this will likely be a good contender for you! With a 54″ standing height limit for the harness mode, this seat has higher limits than almost every harness seat on the market! It’s a great option for tall kids, and it’s fairly narrow as well, so it will work in some 3-across situations as well.

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.

The Doona infant car seat is a stroller-car seat combo. As of today, the Doona and the Evenflo DualRide are the only infant seats on the market with this feature — all other infant car seats have to be clicked into a separate compatible stroller. 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.
