Newborn Carseats
There are a few top-of-the line brands that we trust based on their commitment to safety, quality materials and design. Each of them make a few options different with pros and cons based on your preferences. After that, there are a few great specialty choices based on use case (e.g. Doona is great for city dwellers, some low cost options are best for travel because they are light and you don’t fuss as much about them getting dinged up or lost). Below are BabyDigest’s favorites.
TLDR: Our Top Picks for Car Seat Brands: Nuna, Uppa Baby, Babyark, Doona. Look within their product lineup based on what features are most important to you. Nuna is our favorite brand—it is functional, long-lasting, toxin-free, and beautifully designed.
