Yes, the ratings are in and I now have for you the Top 5 Infant Car Seats of 2013! Lets take a look at the most popular 5 Infant Car Seats of this past year and why they were such a hit.


Britax B-Safe Infant Car Seat

Weight Limits: 4-30 pounds
Height Limits: Up to 32"
Price Range: $179

The Britax B-Safe Infant Car Seat is great in many ways, but just like anything else there are real cons to this product as well. This is why I have taken the time to go through and list the top 3 pros and cons of the Britax B-Safe Infant Car Seat for you to see!

TOP PRODUCT PROS:
* This car seat is designed to meet high safety standards of Britax products
*It clicks in and out of the car base easily
*It is easy to adjust the tangle free, five point harness

TOP PRODUCT CONS:
*The attached sunshade is rather small
*This car seat does not come with a head support causing you to purchase one seperatly
*The fabric is rather hot and non-breathable



Chicco KeyFit 30


Weight Limits: 4-30 pounds
Height Limits: Up to 30"
Price Range: $190-$195
 
No. 1 Rated Car Seat in America!

The Chicco KeyFit 30 is a great infant car seat and is actually the one that I had chosen for my own son. This is a great lightweight infant carrier that is easy to use and travel with, but it still has its own down flaws as well! Here are your top 3 pros and cons:

TOP PRODUCT PROS:
* With the level and instructions on the car seat base, this seat is very easy to install correctly
*It clicks in and out of the car base easily (you can actually hear it click when latched properly!)
*The tangle free, five point harness is easy to adjust with just one hand

TOP PRODUCT CONS:
*The fabric is rather hot and non-breathable
*This car seat is on the longer side, making it a little harder to reach the release button in a smaller vehicle
*Rather heavy to carry around once the baby starts getting bigger



Graco SnugRide 35


Weight Limits: 4-35 pounds
Height Limits: Up to 32"
Price Range: $159-$179

Many of my friends use this car seat and love it! However, The Graco SnugRide 35 infant car seat isn't perfect. So here are your top 3 pros and cons for this particular infant car seat.

TOP PRODUCT PROS:
*The Graco SnugRide 35 has a Self Supported canopy
*Has rubber on the base to prevent from any slippage
*The Graco SnugRide 35 has an extra handle position

TOP PRODUCT CONS:
*Not the easiest fabric to clean after the inevitable accidents!
*The canopy tends to get caught on the handle when trying to pull it down
*This car seat is rather wide and doesn't fit too well in most restaurant booths or high chairs.



Maxi-Cosi Mico
Weight Limits: 5-22 pounds
Height Limits: 19"-29"
Price Range: $170

With it's sleek design and light weight, the Maxi-Cosi Mico is a great infant car seat for any of those mom's that are rather petite. It has a trendy style and works great with most strollers, however just like everything else, it has it's flaws as well.

TOP PRODUCT PROS:
*GREAT FOR PREEMIES!
*The fabric is very soft and breathable, it also comes with a nice head support
*Very lightweight making it easier for moms to tote around

TOP PRODUCT CONS:
*The base is rather big/long, not making it too ideal for smaller vehicles
*Can be difficult to detach from the car seat base
*Most children tend to outgrow this seat by 7 months



Britax Chaperone
Weight Limits: 4-30 pounds
Height Limits: Up to 32"
Price Range: $229.99

With it's Anti-Rebound Bar, this infant car seat defiantly lives up to the Britax name! I don't think you'll find many moms out there that aren't satisfied with the Britax Chaperone infant car seat. However, is it the right seat for your little munchkin?

TOP PRODUCT PROS:
*Extremely high safety ratings!!
*Has not just the Anti-Rebound Bar, but also has "True Side Impact" technology
*Comes with an extra large sunshade

TOP PRODUCT CONS:
*This seat is extremely heavy and hard for most moms to carry around
*The Re-Bound Bar makes the base a lot longer than other car seat bases causing it take up more room!
*The straps and chest clip can be difficult to adjust (many complaints about the chest clip getting stuck)
