Types of Seats

Choosing a car seat is tough! There are so many options, and one look at the car seat aisle can make your head swim with weight limits and bells and whistles. So how do you know what the best seat is for your child? The safest seat is the one that fits your child, fits your vehicle, and can be used correctly 100% of the time. It’s important to look at the height and weight limits printed on the box, but they often do not tell the whole story. It is also important to note things like the height of the shell, and height of the harness positions, which will factor into when the child will outgrow the seat.

If you’re not sure which type your child should be in, start with our best practice guide through the four steps of car seat safety.

If your seat isn’t on the list, don’t worry! That doesn’t mean it isn’t safe or isn’t recommended. All seats pass the same safety standards and are safe when used correctly. Our list is a short guide to seats that we find easy to use, long lasting, or fit a specific niche.

Seats are generally listed from least to most expensive, but prices do fluctuate often so please check your retailer for the current price.  Check out our reviews section to find in depth reviews of many of the seats listed, although reviews are done based on US models so please note Canadian versions may have slightly different limits.
