2025 Child Passenger Safety Technician-Recommended Carseats and Accessories
What Is the Best Carseat?
The BEST carseat fits your vehicle, fits your child, and is one you can use correctly each ride. It sounds trite, but these characteristics transcend price, appearance, and level of cushion of a carseat. CPSTs are not supposed to give out specific names of carseats because of what I mentioned above; however, there are carseats that generally tend to work well across many vehicles and fit children generally well. That doesn’t mean they will work in every case, though.

As someone who has worked with Amazon, Target, and other retailers, the best advice I can offer is to keep your receipt and your box. You never know if or when you’ll need to make a return and it’s much more difficult to do without those items.
The carseats listed below have features that make them easy to use and install, like lockoffs or belt tensioners. They may also have unique features, such as being extremely lightweight or narrow, or having high rear-facing weight limits or a load leg.
