The Graco EasyTurn 360 is Graco’s second rotating car seat and features some major improvements over their first rotating seat, Turn2Me. The ease of rotation, height adjustment, and smooth harness adjustment make this seat a pleasure to use on a daily basis.

Infant car seats are, at their core, designed for portability. Adding LATCH connectors to the carrier (as opposed to just on a base) enhances their convenience and portability, simplifying everyday use. With rigid LATCH connectors—featured on three models—installation can take just seconds. Our comparison article takes you through the features of each available baseless infant seat so you can make the best decision for your family.

The Peg Viaggio Flex 120 Highback Booster is one of those boosters that fills a need and does it uniquely. There are 3 main reasons you buy the Flex 120: it’s narrow when you need it to fit next to another seat; it doesn’t have armrests so it’s easy for kids to buckle; and it has rigid LATCH connectors so it’s easy to install and stays securely in place.

A tether (aka top tether, top tether strap, top strap) is a long piece of seat belt material that has a clip on the end located at the top back of a forward-facing car seat. It’s a valuable safety tool that most caregivers don’t use on their forward-facing car seats. Learn how to use them by reading our What Is a Tether article.

Evenflo has issued a voluntary recall for certain All4One and All4One DLX car seat models sold in the U.S. and Canada from 2022 to 2024. When used rear-facing, the recline position may change in a crash, which could create a pinch hazard for anyone seated next to the car seat.

Boasting tall harness slots, a narrowness that works in many 3-across situations, a robust ClickTight installation system, and naturally flame-retardant fabrics that are machine wash- and dryable, the Britax Poplar and Poplar S convertible carseats seem to be perfect. But nothing is that perfect, right?

The Britax One4Life Slim ClickTight All-in-One car seat has a mile-long list of features: a robust ClickTight belt-tensioning lockoff panel, a top harness slot height higher than most harness-to-booster seats, a top shoulder belt guide higher than most dedicated belt-positioning booster seats, flame retardant-free machine washable fabrics, and more! What else could we talk about in our review? Plenty.

Chicco has taken a tried-and-true, well-loved infant seat and upped the ante by adding a no-rethread harness, an anti-rebound bar, and the option to install the carrier Euro-style when traveling without the base. The KeyFit Max fits babies well, especially itty bitty ones, and is easy to use for new and experienced parents alike.

Booster seats are important safety devices for older children, but parents and caregivers often move preschool-age children into booster seats prematurely. The problem is, it’s not a “graduation”. It’s a demotion in safety, and it’s putting young children at risk for serious injuries in a crash.
