The 9 Best Car Seats, According to Experts and Parents

Nuna RAVA™ Convertible Car Seat ($580)

Scoring high marks from Consumer Reports, the Nuna Rava is a popular choice among parents looking for a convertible car seat. In testing this car seat with my three year old son, I found it straightforward and easy to install. Once installed, the harness adjusts with one hand rather than a rethread harness which requires you to manually rethread the straps and harness.

My son found it very comfortable and easy to climb into. It allows children up to 50 lbs to stay rear facing and provides an additional two inches of legroom in that position. It's also very easy to clean since the seat cover, harness pads, and infant insert are all machine washable.
