We have the Cybex Aton2. Its very convenient to have the base in our car but can still use it in other cars without the base. Very convenient for cabs in the city and holiday travels when I'll be home with the carseat but in a rental car.<br /> Also, FWIW, the infant safety course instructor we had sang the praises of the Cybex Aton 2, its highly rated on ConsumerReports.org, and the "Carseat Lady" in NYC also lists it as her top pick (<a href="http://thecarseatlady.com/csladdressescr/" rel="nofollow">http://thecarseatlady.com/csladdressescr/</a>) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949861 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 20:47:55 +0000 Beehive 1949861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really love the Cybex Aton. It's amazingly easy to install in cars with just the buckle (no base needed, though it comes with a base as well). Plus it's extremely light. I was so sad when we had to switch to a convertible seat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949700 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 17:10:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 1949700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Graco Snugride 30 and love it, it's light and easy to adjust the straps (much easier than the Britax convertible we have right now, it's such a pain!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949690 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 17:05:32 +0000 looch 1949690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're all the same, so we picked one that went with our stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949632 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 16:31:12 +0000 autumnlove 1949632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keyfit fan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949616 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 16:17:16 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1949616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loved our Chicco Keyfit 30!

It's one of the lightest seats on the market and was easy for us to install. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949587 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 16:03:12 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1949587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love the Keyfit. Easy to get baby in and out and easy to install. I also liked that the material was easy to wipe and durable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949458 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 14:44:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 1949458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a hand me down graco and while it was fine, if I was buying a new one I'd go with a chicco key fit. Everyone seems to love them. In fact if this graco expires before we have another baby I'll just get a key fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949457 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 14:44:25 +0000 snowjewelz 1949457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend gave me her Britax Be Safe; I haven't started using it yet (soon!), but she is even more petite than me and they live in the city so if they were happy with it, I think it'd def work out for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949385 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 14:05:19 +0000 kayakgirl73 1949385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loved our Chicco KeyFit 30.

I got a good deal on it last year during Black Friday! I think I paid 130 on chiccos website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949212 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:49:43 +0000 Mrs. J 1949212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our Britax B Safe!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949207 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:48:31 +0000 yellowbird 1949207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: we have a city mini as well. I'm not sure if we'll get a double stroller or not. I'm thinking not just because of the added expense and we don't use it that often. My lo1 was definitely always hot so that's something to think about </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949200 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:46:46 +0000 catlady 1949200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't say it's the best but we had the britax b-safe and we were pretty happy with it and plan to use it again when/if we have another. Getting it in and out of the car was easy, plus we were able to use it on our stroller (city mini) with an adapter so that worked well. My only complaint is that LO heated up in there and she would sweat alot. I don't think the fabric is very breathable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949195 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:45:13 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1949195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's hard to beat the chicco for ease of use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949193 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:45:03 +0000 nana87 1949193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the uppababy Mesa and I really like it, but mostly bc we have a Cruz stroller that it fits into w/o any attachments, so it was really the stroller that I like more! On its own it's pretty heavy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949191 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:44:00 +0000 Bao 1949191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Chicco key fit and I love it! Still holding up great with LO2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-infant-car-seat#post-1949184 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:37:35 +0000 yellowbird 1949184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was not a fan of LO1's infant car seat and while we still have it, it's super girly and I don't want to use it again. I definitely want an infant seat because of the convenience of not having to wake baby to get in and out of the car. </p> <p>I like the look of the britax and chicco key fit. Anybody have any suggestions? What do you use? Is it easy to buckle and tighten and get in and out of the car? </p>
