The Cloud Q ($399) is the first infant seat whose removable cradle section lets a baby lie flat — relieving stress on the neck, says Sarah Yang at The Bump. The fold-down seat attaches to a Cybex stroller, eliminating the need for a bassinet. For birth to 18 months. Buy it at Cybex.
3. Doona Car Seat and Stroller
"No more lugging a car seat over your arm," says Momtastic. This seat ($499) — suitable for infants up to 35 lbs — has wheels that pop out of the bottom, converting it instantly into a stroller. "Expensive, but genius." Buy it at Magic Beans.
4. Diono Radian RXT Convertible
Looking for an ultrasafe seat that can go the distance? This steel-frame seat ($288) holds children from 5 to 45 lbs in rear-facing mode, from 20 to 80 lbs in forward-facing position, and for up to 120 lbs it serves as a booster, says Deborah Cruz at Parenting. Buy it at Amazon.
5. Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Convertible
This seat ($349) is "pure luxury," says Katie Loeb at Babble, but it's also "easy to use, well made, and extremely comfortable." The safety features are top-notch, and the seat converts from rear-facing to forward-facing as your child grows. Buy it at Amazon.
