Safety first have a lot of car seats for infants, but we picked this one because it is one of the best for new born babies. It can be used with a latch and a seat belt.

Though the seat is slim, it is still deep enough for the baby to feel snuggly inside. This baby seat feels comfortable for babies, as most users say their babies sleep off easily in it.

It is well cushioned and has good side impact protection. Another unique function of this baby car seat is that it is two piece.

It is ideal for babies weighing within 5 to 30 pounds, and should not be more than 32 inches tall. It is not bulky at all, as it weighs just about 8.6 pounds and measures 16 by 18 by 31 in length, width and height respectively.
