Top 10 best Newborn Car Seats 2022 Passed Our Test

I really like almost everything about this car seat but as others have mentioned, it tips backwards super easily which is my reasoning for 4 stars. The handle can serve as a “kickstand” of sorts if you position it all the way back behind the seat but when setting the seat down, we are extra cautious to be sure we do not set it on an elevated surface (chair, table, couch etc.). At a doctor’s appointment, I brought my baby in, placed the car seat on a chair to get her out more easily (not having to bend down to the ground postpartum) and once I took her out and moved, the seat immediately flipped backwards. I understand the nature of the seat and did then but I was still shocked at how “back heavy” it is. Obviously, it tipping back while a baby is in it on the floor won’t hurt them, just scare them if anything, but off any other surface, there is actual danger.Positives are the ease of installing the seat to the base and the weight of the car seat. I had no problem carrying her postpartum whereas our Maxi Cosi from our first baby seemed much more cumbersome. We have a Sienna and it fits in the captain seat of the second row well but we had a hard time getting the base to level for a sub 7 pound baby. Our baby was born at 36 weeks (and weighed 6 lbs) so she was lighter than we expected and the incline of the seat in the car made it tough to adjust the base for a small baby. That was a car problem, not a car seat problem, just something we ran into to be mindful of. After a couple weeks, she was up to 7 lbs and really, we didn’t notice her position once in the base to be a problem before that.I don’t think the look of this seat is as sleek or modern as some other brands (uppa or nuna) but the safety features are great and before deciding on Peg Perego we were told at a local baby store that it would be the car seat they would personally buy because of how solid the seat and base are in terms of safety.Before buying the car seat, we purchased the Team stroller on a killer deal and I wanted a car seat that would fit the stroller. Peg Perego seats are the only ones that work since there are no adapters available. So the stroller made our decision for us and all that said, we are happy with it!

I’m so happy I bought this for my baby. I can’t wieght to use it when she is born. It’s so soft and great quality!! Very Light wieght but extremely durable. Soo worth every penny. Had to buy after reading all the great reviews especially the ones that been in a car accident! It’s the best car seat I have personally ever seen.

This was my first time shopping for a stroller and car seat so i didn’t really know what features to look for or avoid. Now that we’ve been using this travel system for over a year i can come back with a review.First of all, the assembly was pretty easy. I was around 32 weeks pregnant and was able to put it together pretty much by myself.The car seat/carrier. Loved everything about it. Pretty lightweight, easy to strap baby in. Worked great with the stroller base, however you need to be careful and patient when putting the carrier into the stroller base, if you rush or don’t align it, it goes in the wrong way and getting it back out is a pain. The car seat base was also easy to install (according to my husband) and we were able to find a 2nd base for the 2nd vehicle. We stopped using the carrier a little after baby turned one, mainly because it just got too heavy to carry.Now the bassinet/stroller combo. I love the different recline positions. Took me awhile to notice the strap on the back/under the basinet that allows an almost upright position. The handle on the top of the basinet makes it very easy to recline the seat if the little one falls asleep while sitting up. I do use this feature a lot. The cons: the basinet doesn’t have much cushion, which i would have liked to have for the first few months when baby was really small. I did use an extra large folded blanket to line the bottom and make it more cushy and that solved the problem. It is no longer an issue now that baby is a toddler.The stroller base is pretty lightweight and easy to unfold, even with one hand, however you need both hands to release the mechanism when closing the base. I tried folding the stroller when the basinet is in, it works but takes up a lot of space and when you unfold it, the basinet needs to be readjusted. So when storing, i prefer to take the basinet off the base.It rides pretty well on smooth surfaces and is easy to maneuver, but its a pretty bumpy ride on grass, gravel, sand or other kinds of uneven surfaces.A couple complains – the snack tray was extremely had to remove from the front handle. I though i was going to break it if i keep forcing it, but somehow my husband managed to take it off. Another thing I’m not a big fan of is the bar between the wheels- it’s position is somewhat awkward which makes me hit it with my feet when walking. So i have to be mindful of it when we walk.The storage basket is a very decent size, plenty of room for a diaper bag. I attached a basic black mesh fanny pack around the push handle to have extra storage and convenient access to small items like my phone, glasses, wallet.I ordered the Casual Grey color. In person it’s more of a combo of black and brown. Not a deal breaker but i would have gone with a different color if i knew it is going to be just black and brown.Overall, i am pretty satisfied with this travel system.

This car seat was so easy to set up in the car with the base. It is very intuitive and I almost didn’t have to look at directions to use. The material is so soft. My baby loves getting in the car seat. He falls asleep almost immediately!I also own the stroller that the car seat attaches to. It is a fantastic stroller and I love all the different seat options you can have for a growing family.

The base doesn’t exactly get tight in the car very well as it’s loose up front where the seatbelt is not at. But functions properly just fine and is beautiful. Love it and would buy again! Love that the handle and canopy are connected! They really thought this through for us mom’s.
