The Melbourne park, which is normally open and available for kids to play on when there aren't games scheduled, has become a fortress surrounded by security in blue uniforms and patrolling police officers.

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.

What are the different types of car seats? There are four main categories of child car seats: infant, convertible, all-in-one and booster. An infant car seat is rear-facing only and is suitable for your baby until they reach the height or weight limit of the seat. Infant car seats have the advantage of being able to be removed from their base and transferred to a stroller. They offer more versatility than a typical convertible car seat and also tend to fit smaller babies better.

Conventional car seats require some unnatural twisting and stretching to get a child's butt into them. Your body gets used to this awkward motion over time, but what if it didn't have to? The Evenflo Gold Revolve 360 takes the strain out of child restraint with a seat that swivels 90 degrees, allowing you to easily plop your little one in, fasten their harness, then rotate and lock the seat into position. 

From the moment you decided to have a baby, did you daydream about the adventures that you and your future child might have together? A great car seat can empower you to take your baby anywhere you want to go while maintaining your peace of mind. Whether you plan to go around the block or across the country, having the best car seat that's well-suited to your baby's size and needs makes all the difference. 

With its fancy rotating mechanism, the Revolve 360 is heavy. But unless you need to move it from car to car, you only have to carry it one time. The seat portion also separates from the base to make transporting it a bit easier and to allow access to the harness belts for adjustment. Indicators on either side of the base let you know when the seat is properly locked in position. Though the seat locks securely in place every time, I noticed a faint rattle when going over bumps and rough patches of road.

The upholstered and cushioned portion of the Coral XP's seat can be detached with the push of a button and lifted out of the outer carrier shell by the large straps on the sides. A heavy-duty shoulder belt with quick release clips is included and is intended to be worn cross-body. The inner carrier weighs about 5 pounds, so carrying your baby this way is pretty comfortable. This method is best used for newborns, but I was able to carry my 1-year-old daughter for a few minutes before my back and shoulder started aching. This feature definitely would have come in handy when she was younger, especially for the frequent visits to her doctor on the second floor of an elevator-less medical building. 

When combined with the outer carrier shell, the seat is compatible with all Maxi-Cosi strollers, along with some premium strollers like the Uppababy Vista once adapters are installed. The Coral XP's base is on the long side, so it might not be ideal for cars with shallow rear seat cushions.
