The Best Convertible Car Seats

Convertible car seats have a wide range of benefits for you and your little one. A convertible car seat can be setup in a rear-facing position for babies, and then can be switched to a front-facing position for older children. This means you get to keep your seat longer and enjoy more value from it. And besides the obvious convenience, convertible car seats also allow you to keep your child rear-facing for as long as possible. Experts recommend keeping children rear-facing until they are two years old (or longer, if possible).

It’s quite possible to get a convertible car seat that works from birth (with an infant insert and a rear-facing position) and for some parents, this is ideal. For others, they may enjoy the ease of which they can remove and carry the infant car seat and want to wait to get the convertible seat until their child outgrows the infant seat. Nonetheless, convertible car seats are easy to use, easy to install, and come with safety features like a five-point harness and side-impact protection.

How to Decide Which Convertible Car Seat is Right for You

Having a car seat that can grow and evolve with your child will give you years of use, especially with the all-in-one convertible car seats that change from rear-facing to forward-facing and then can additionally transform into a booster seat. Choosing the right convertible seat should include how easy they are to adjust, how easy to clean, the comfort of the fabrics and padding, height and weight limits, and style. Almost all our convertible car seats will easily use the LATCH installation system or a seat belt installation.

 

Some of our Favorite Convertible Car Seats

Albee Baby has a wide selection of convertible seats from trusted brands like Maxi Cosi, Diono, and Chicco. We highly recommend any of the car seats from these companies. Additionally, we happen to love the following seats:

  • The Nuna RAVA convertible car seat is a marvel. Advanced safety technology makes installation super easy. Energy-absorbing foam and SIP pods take side-impact security to the next level, built on a steel frame. This car seat also comes with premium fabrics and provides more leg room for your child. Don’t even get us started on the style and design--it’s top of the line.
  • The Britax One4Life Clicktight All-in-One Convertible Car Seat is a great seat to choose early and keep as your child grows. It works with babies from 5 pounds to almost-young-adults at 100 pounds. It easily converts from a rear-facing infant car seat, to a forward-facing 5-point harness, to a high-back belt-positioning booster seat. A high strength steel frame, crumple zone, and V-shaped tether help absorb crash energy. What more could a new parent want?
