How to Choose the Right Car Seat

Consider Your Child’s Age & Size
Each seat has specific weight and height limits—always check the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Think About Your Lifestyle
Frequent travelers? A lightweight infant seat (like the Nuna PIPA) is ideal.
Need long-term use? A convertible or all-in-one seat (like the Graco 4Ever) is best.

Look for Easy Installation
LATCH systems and ClickTight technology make installation easier.
Rotating seats (like Cybex Callisto) provide added convenience.

Prioritize Safety Features
Side-impact protection for head and torso support
Steel-reinforced frames for durability
No-rethread harnesses for quick adjustments
Anti-rebound bars for extra stability
