Comfort

Both the baby and the parent should feel at ease in the car pram. This implies plenty of cushioning for the seat and a handlebar that can be adjusted to ensure a comfortable, secure fit. Some models have shade canopy that is easy to use and can be stowed in a pockets to ensure your baby's safety. The pram should be simple to use, and come with a strap that can be attached by one hand and then easily removed from the base.

Some car seats, such as the Graco 4Ever DLX and the Graco Extend2Fit 3 in one are fairly simple to install with LATCH. However, they only have average crash test scores and are not the best choice for those seeking the highest security standards.

Other seats, like the Clek Keyfit 35 and Clek Liing, show higher than average crash test sensor results, and are more easy to install using LATCH. These seats are more expensive than seats with top performance, but offer superior comfort and quality to offset the higher price.

The Doona infant seat and latch base is an additional option that offers superior crash test results and is easy to use in the car and stroller. This model is highly evaluated by Amazon customers, with 90% of them giving five stars. It is difficult to use without the base since it requires a two-step procedure of putting the base in place, and then strapping it over the bottom of the carrier and some parents might overlook or even do not (always follow the manufacturer's directions to avoid injury).

If you intend to use your car seat mostly in taxis, choose a model that can attach easily and quickly to its base so that you can change from car to stroller and back again in minutes.

You'll also need to consider whether you would like your child's car seat to have the top tether strap which is a tether which connects from the seat to an attached hook in the back seat or trunk. The tether prevents your child's head from whipping forward during the event of a crash. This decreases the chance of injury to the head.

A finished attic or garage is another alternative. Keep your car seat in plastic bags or similar containers when not in use. Also, keep it away from places where rodents are likely to hide.

If you plan to use your car seat pram to carry baby carriers, be sure to stow all the other components that are included. Included in this are infant inserts, strap pads, and any other bases you might have. It is also possible to keep stroller adaptors for the car seat in the same area. This will make it much easier to re-install the car seat in the event of a need.

Find signs of wear before putting away your car seat. If you notice any cracks in the base or fabric or stains or tears in the fabric is the time to replace the seat.

A baby carrier or a stroller may provide the same benefits as car seat prams however, they're usually used for older infants. There are frame backpack carriers, hip carriers, mei tais. If you're planning on using baby carriers, look for one that has the option of recline so that your baby can rest in a flat position even when they're asleep.
