Safety 1st EverSlim
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.

Cosco Scenera Next
The Cosco Scenera Next convertible car seat is inexpensive and easy to install. It can rear-face most children to at least two years old and is both narrow and super lightweight.

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!

Romer Juni
The Romer Juni infant car seat combines safety, convenience, and eco-friendly materials, making it a great choice for parents. With rigid lower anchors, a seat belt lock-off, and European baseless belt routing, it offers multiple secure installation options. Its flame-retardant-free fabric, UPF 50+ canopy, and aircraft approval make it a practical option for both everyday use and travel.

Britax Emblem
The Britax Emblem 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! 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.

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.

Graco Turn2Me
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.

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.

It’s an excellent option for busy parents who are always on the go.
