Most experts choose the Graco SnugRide as the best infant car seat, and parents consistently give it top marks for its ease of use and simple installation. The Graco SnugRide comes in a wide variety of options. The… pricier versions have fancier fabric, nicer canopies and a cold-weather boot and/or a blanket, but the basic seats in the $80 to $100 range are just as safe. All SnugRide car seats include EPS padding for extra protection. It can secure using your car's seat belts or LATCH anchors. The top-rated Graco SnugRide is rated for newborns up to 22 pounds in weight and 29 inches tall.

Good basic infant car seat

Baby Trend Flex-Loc

*Est. $80 Compare Prices

We didn't find as many parent reviews for the Flex-Loc as we did for the Graco SnugRide, but this car seat also performs well in crash testing and is a favorite of parents. Its unusual triangular handle looks… unconventional, and while most parents say it's very comfortable, others disagree -- so it's worth checking out this seat in person. The Baby Trend car seat comes in 11 patterns -- not nearly as many variations as the SnugRide. But if you don't care about extras like a boot or peek-a-boo canopy, the Flex-Loc does come with an adjustable crotch strap -- one feature that's missing on the SnugRide. The Flex-Loc is rated for infants from five to 22 pounds, and up to 28.5 inches tall.
