All Ride Booster Seat - Purple

Product Information

One of the biggest downsides of the Chicco Nextfit is the high sides. They make it hard for parents to lift their rear facing babies in and for older kids to climb in themselves. Fortunately the Fit4 has lower sides to avoid that issue. While we LOVED our three Chicco Nextfits over the years, the lower sides and increased longevity are big enough improvements that today I’d recommend the Fit4 over the Nextfit. That said, if you’re on a tighter budget or want the convenience of a zip-off cover the Chicco Nextfit Zip comes in a stunning purple called Vivaci – available here, here and here. The Graco SnugRide is a lightweight purple infant car seat. Weighing only 7.2 pounds, moms can carry it effortlessly. I’ll admit that I have a soft spot for the Chicco KeyFit 30 infant car seat. Both of my kids rode in KeyFits. My daughter was in a serious accident while riding in her KeyFit and came out totally unscathed. Aside from my personal preference, what makes the Chicco KeyFit 30 one of the most popular infant car seats in America?

It comes with an anti-rebound bar, which delivers more protection no matter rear-facing or forward-facing. The new Britax Highpoint 2-stage booster seat ( also available here and here) has a lot to offer for your family’s next road trip! The deep headwings offer great support if your kid still likes to sleep in the car during those long drives. The 3QXT has a wider shoulder rest on the top. This provides much growing room for your girls from toddler to preteen. We thought this is one of the biggest improvements for the Radian 3R. While comfort is a somewhat subjective standard, we wouldn’t recommend any cushions we found to be lumpy or scratchy. Some riders may prefer a firmer cushion, while other passengers go for something softer. In any case, an excellent car seat cushion can only protect your spine from stress if it absorbs the bumps and pressures of the road.In addition, the KeyFit 35 adds a handy no-rethread harness and an anti-rebound bar on the base to improve crash performance. If you plan to travel with the KeyFit 35 and leave the base at home, you’ll be able to use the more stable “European seatbelt routing” when you install the KeyFit 35 in a taxi or Uber. We took each cushion for a test drive around curvy roads and sharp turns to see how well it stayed in place. While each did a fair job of remaining in place, drivers concerned about grip should look for seat cushion pillows with non-slip bottoms, or adjustable straps, to keep them in place. Why Trust Motor1.com? One downside for some families (though not ours) is that the rear-facing weight limit is 40 pounds. That’s fine for most kids, as it’s the average weight of a 4 year old. However, if you have a baby that’s tipping the scales toward higher percentiles or you want the option to rear face your child beyond 4, you’ll want to keep reading for a few other options with a 50 pound rear-facing limit (like the Clek Foonf and Fllo or Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1). Moms and dads love the Britax car seats because they’re made of non-chemical smell fabrics. That sounds more health-friendly for baby and toddler girls.

i-Size includes a side impact test to ensure that the seats provide better protection from side impacts.

10. Best Wedge Car Seat Cushion—VivaLife Gel Memory Foam Car Seat Cushion

The new Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX is a great budget-friendly car seat for families who expect to bring home a full-term newborn since it offers 6″ bottom harness slots when you use the included insert. This would not be the best choice for parents expecting preemies or multiples, who usually arrive on the smaller side. It goes up to 32″ or 35 pounds or 1″ of shell height above the head (whichever comes first), so it’ll work for nearly every baby until at least their first birthday. The cooling mesh fabric also cuts down on sweat. Although it’s perfect for drivers, it’s equally as suitable for using on an office chair or a seat at home. Desk workers also admired its ability to make hours-long shifts manageable. One Uber driver found that they “could feel the difference in a few short trips” and noticed a reduction in pain. All-in-one car seats are all the rage now, which I completely understand. Who wants a graveyard of outgrown car seats down in their basement? And who needs to keep spending a few hundred dollars every couple of years for a new car seat?

The Highpoint is best for kids on the bigger end of the growth chart. If you have kids like mine who are old enough and mature enough for booster seats but still short, they may not meet the minimum requirements of the Highpoint.The Clek seat fabrics are really interesting. Their purple fabric (whether you buy the aura Clek Foonf or prince Clek Fllo) are made of their proprietary wipe-clean C-Zero Plus. Even milk spills are no match! The Foonf and Fllo both have plenty of padding but offer a firmer ride than something like the Chicco Fit4 or Nextfit. It’s common for some to feel hot when using a seat cushion, but several features on the LOUTYTUO model make it a user’s best bet for keeping cool. Aside from the breathable mesh fabric, there are two holes in the seat to promote air flow. The cushion’s cover can also be removed for washing when necessary. It has a carrying handle, too, for any easy trip between the car and office. The biggest downside of this purple baby car seat is that it is outgrown sooner than some of the more recent infant car seats – when your child hits 30 pounds or 30″ or has only 1″ of car seat shell above her head it’s outgrown. Even if only one of those limits has been reached, it’s game-over.
