convertible car seats
consider a convertible car seat if…
Unlike infant car seats, convertibles, once installed, stay put in the car rather than clicking in and out of a base and a stroller. Some parents prefer this. Do what works for you!

what to know
Things to look out for when shopping for a convertible car seat.
safety features
Side impact protection, a steel frame, a five-point harness—these types of features shield your baby from crash forces in the event of an accident.
changing positions
You will know when to adjust your seat from rear to forward-facing to booster, based on the height and weight requirements set by the manufacturer.
comfy fabric
You’ll want a cover that’s soft enough for an infant, but also durable (and washable!) to withstand years of gross (don’t make us say it) kid stuff.
safe angle indicator
Infants must be reclined at the proper angle for their age, so look for a seat with an easy-to-read indicator that shows when you’ve found the right angle.
...and how they adjust to grow with your kiddo
support systems
Removable infant insert helps keep younger babies safe, snug, and comfortable.
adjustable harness
As your baby grows, some seats need you to rethread those straps each time. Others (like this one) just adjust up with the headrest.
movable headrest
The headrest adjusts to many positions so that your child’s head is always in the correct position.
the “all-in-one”
Some convertibles, called all-in-ones, also become booster seats, allowing big kids to safely use the car’s seat belt.
accessories add to the trip
The convenience of clicking the seat out rather than unbuckling the baby every time you get where you’re going may make it worth considering an infant seat now, convertible later.
