There's nothing more important to a parent than the safety of their child. Using a Graco infant car seat or one of the line of Britax car seats does more than your best intentions ever will where child safety is concerned. Placing children in a child safety seat and insuring that the unit is properly installed is not only the right thing to do as a parent, it's the law in most states.

In 2005 in the United States, automobile accidents were the leading cause of death among children. This is a senseless waste considering the quality of the newer models of child safety seats. Beyond being designed for children who do not yet have the ability to stand, many of these seats also act as carriers outside of the car and can continue to be used until your child reaches twenty-two pounds (at roughly five to nine months of age.) So, beyond the obvious safety advantage these seats offer, they also represent a good return on your investment due to their longevity and flexibility.

There are several brands of infant car seats that collectively could be awarded the distinction of "best infant car seats." Any of these consistent high performers in infant car seat review and baby car seat review articles will offer high value and excellent safety standards. As you begin to look for the model that will work best for you and for your child, any of these seats would be worthy of consideration.

Evenflo has been on the forefront of innovative technology in the infant accessories arena for a number of years. The On My Way Position Right is a new and improved update on the On My Way model, a bestseller for the Evenflo infant car seat line. It comes with an angle indicator and a handle that makes carrying the seat easier on the wrists. The seat also comes along with a retractable canopy to protect Baby's delicate scalp and is available with either a three or five point harness.

Fisher Price Stay-In-View

Although known primarily for their toys, the Fisher Price Stay-In-View infant seat has excellent padding that extends into the handle and also features over the shoulder transporting capability. This seat will hold a baby of up to twenty pounds. As an added feature, the base has a mirror attached so you can see your child in your car's rearview.

Graco SnugRide

This Graco seat does indeed offer babies a "snug ride" until they've reached a weight of twenty pounds or a length of twenty-six inches. Considered one of the best values in infant car seat safety, the SnugRide prevents head rolling by offering a head support system. The canopy rotates a full one hundred eighty degrees to keep the sun out of Baby's eyes. SnugRide is a premier but affordable Graco infant car seat.
