| Overall Score | |||||
| Star Rating | |||||
| Pros | Top crash test analysis, easy LATCH install, easy-to-use features | Impressive crash test analysis, lightweight, small width, great for travel, inexpensive | Comfy infant inserts, integrated tensioner, super easy to use | Better crash testing, more kid legroom, potential longer RF lifespan, shorter length of entire seat for taller parents, cheaper | Lightweight, better crash test results, straightforward LATCH, inexpensive |
| Cons | Rough fabric, hard-to-remove cover for cleaning | LATCH install removal is challenging with clip-style hooks, lower quality, and no features for comfort | Super expensive, belt threads through cup holders | Cup holders are too easy to remove, no belt lock-off, bubble indicator is only on one side | One-sided indicator, no belt lock-off, only average width |
| Bottom Line | One of the top crash test scores with no fuss installs are sure to make every parent happy | A minimalist seat with an affordable price and some of the best crash test results make it a winner overall | This impressive seat is the easiest in the group to use, but it comes with a high price tag | An inexpensive seat with better crash test results makes for an impressive seat that can potentially be used rear-facing longer | We love most things about this budget-friendly seat, but it isn't that narrow compared to competitors |
