Britax first introduced ClickTight technology in 2013 (the same year this website was born!), they added this easy-to-use installation system to convertible car seats fairly soon after the Frontier was launched but didn’t add a rear facing only option to the product line — until now! We do find the non-ClickTight rear facing only Britax
The Cybex family of rear facing only car seats are known for being quite plush, fairly easy to install and use, and fit most babies well, though they do tend to be a bit heavy and not particularly compact. That family of seats has expanded to include the Cloud G LUX, which brings everything we
Orbit Baby is a name that’s been around for some time — when my now-driving teenager was a baby, we strongly considered getting the rotating Orbit G series rear facing only car seat for her (we went with a Graco instead, they’re still around today, too!). Orbit took a break from the market for a

However, it lacks one important thing: belt guides for a baseless installation. Pre-pandemic, I taught a Car Seat 101 class in person at a local hospital. Many of the families we taught had
Century is a “new” car seat/child safety product name that you might know from your own childhood. I promise you, the seat I’m reviewing today is not from that batch of seats, nor was the seat I’m reviewing used on the original Full House. The Century name has been relaunched with a small line of
The Evenflo LiteMax is a staple of the rear facing only segment of the car seat market. There are a few models — the base model LiteMax that fits children starting as low as 3 pounds, the fully-featured SecureMax and in the middle of the product line is the LiteMax DLX. This seat takes the
Recall Notice The Coral XP is part of a recall.
