There are many quality manufacturers of convertible car seats. All seats on the market must meet standard Federal safety requirements, and are rigorously tested. Some on our list excel at safety features, going the extra mile through design innovations to keep children secure. Others provide good safety but really stand out where comfort and convenience counts. Use our guide as a place to start, as you look for just the right seat for your precious cargo.

In the last decade or so, safety experts have recommended keeping your little ones in some type of car seat until they are much heavier, generally from 80 to 100 lbs. When these recommendations were first made, manufacturers scrambled to make seats to fit larger kids, while parents needed to make another purchase, and sometimes ended up with three separate seats covering the charts from infancy to youth.
