Often because infant car seats are for a vulnerable baby parents think they need to buy the very best, most expensive car seat on the market to adequately protect their child. This is most definitely not the case! A great place to start is by checking multiple consumer non-profit online sites’ which contain safety ratings and recommendations on infant car seats on the market. Currently, most models have nearly identical safety features like EPS foam for impact protection, and 5-point harnesses, no matter the price point. Also, comfort-wise, most seats have similar padding and memory foam; nearly the same amount as the high-end seats. Many people buy infant car seats just because of designer names or a trendy type of fabric, but be aware that the cost is much higher without necessarily getting a safer seat with more features. In the case of infant car seats, you need to do your research, but you don’t always get what you pay for!
