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
The Britax B-Safe line of rear facing only car seats are a well-regarded staple of the car seat world. Caregivers generally find it easy to install and use properly. The B-Safe 35 has been retired and in its place is the B-Safe Gen2. The updated version of this seat takes the seat we’ve known and
If you’ve ever worked a car seat check event, read our Recommended Seats page, or searched the internet for a great rear facing only car seat, it’s pretty likely that the Chicco KeyFit 30 or 22 made some type of appearance.

The child passenger safety community is abuzz with the news that Britax has released a new rear facing only car seat. The Endeavours is similar to the B-Safe 35 Elite, but it also features an anti-rebound bar on the base and European belt routing on the carrier. Intrigued? So were we!
Nuna staked their claim in the car seat market with the Pipa rear facing only car seat and has expanded their easy-to-use offerings to include the RAVA convertible car seat and AACE booster seat.
