What is the safest car seat? It's important to know that all car seats sold in the US must pass rigorous crash-safety tests administered by the NHTSA. There is currently no rating system for child safety seats, but all models that pass the NHTSA's tests are deemed safe. That is, provided you install them correctly.

The modern car seat landscape is indeed overwhelming for the uninitiated, but the wealth of choices out there means there's a car seat for just about every need. Once you get an idea of what's available and narrow down the best car seats for what you want, you'll be able to choose the perfect seat for your little one. To help you on your car seat journey, I rotated my kids' butts through eight of the best seats available today. Keep reading to find out which ones should be on your radar.

Britax

Britax's ClickTight series of convertible car seats features an innovative installation system. The ClickTight feature is a special belt path that allows you to lift up the bottom of the seat like a Transformer and pass the vehicle seat belt underneath. The system makes it easy to install the car seat using the seat belt, requiring no awkward routing of the seat belt retractor or fumbling with excess webbing. You simply pass the belt through the appropriate slots for rear- or forward-facing orientation, buckle the belt in, and lower the seat cushion until it clicks. That's it! Britax's Marathon, Boulevard and Advocate all use the ClickTight system. 

When you start shopping for a car seat, it's easy to get overwhelmed at first. There are dozens upon dozens to choose from and a handful of different types -- infant, convertible, slim-fit, all-in-one, booster and beyond. Where do you even start?

As Dr. Robyn Horsager-Boehrer wrote in a post for UT Southwestern Medical Center, avoid medication formulated for multiple symptoms during pregnancy, as they can contain unnecessary amounts of acetaminophen. Also, she writes, natural cough remedies like a spoonful of honey can be just as effective (or more effective) than medication.

Then you have convertible car seats, which can be used in rear- or forward-facing orientation and have weight ranges accommodating newborns all the way up to kindergartners. An all-in-one seat is a convertible seat with added functionality. Most turn into a high-back booster car seat, but others can be stripped down further to a backless booster for maximum service life.

Pseudoephedrine is a common decongestant, found in Mucinex products such as Mucinex D, that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages. And it's also one ingredient the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists recommends against during the first trimester due to a small risk of birth defects in the abdominal wall.
