Here are some reviews of the most popular car seats on the market today:

• SnugRide by Graco : This seat is one of the most popular infant rear facing car seats available on the market today. It ranges in price from $60 up to about $140 depending on how many bells and whistles you buy with it. The seat is compatible with new cars that have a pre-installed LATCH system.
• Latch-Loc by Baby Trend : This car seat also works with a LATCH anchoring system available in new cars. This seat uses steel connectors that may not work as well in cars that have steeply sloping seats. However, there is some evidence suggesting this LATCH system may work better than flexible attachments in a car accident.
• Peg Perego Primo Viaggo : This infant seat runs about $150. It features a five-point harness and an adjustable hood. One of the features is easily removable and washable pads, a bonus as your child gets a little older and starts spilling things in the car. If you are looking for a fashion conscious seat, the Peg Perego offers you many different designs and colors to select from.
• PortAbout by Evenflo : This rear facing seat is very easy to use. It offers a "press-n-go" button that makes it easy to raise and lower the handlebar using just one hand, a blessing for busy parents. The seat also offers two buckle positions and holds infants up to 22 pounds and 26 inches.
• Combi Tyro : This seat is slightly more expensive than other models at $140. However, it fits babies much longer than ordinary seats, up to 29 inches long (most seats hold babies up to 26 inches). Thus if you have large babies in your family, this might be a better choice for you than a convertible seat. The seat features a removable full body cushion to keep your baby safe and snug.
• Triumph by Evenflo : This is a convertible car seat that runs around $100. It offers thick padding and reclines to multiple positions to accommodate your baby. This seat works in older nonLATCH as well as LATCH equipped cars and trucks. This seat can hold an infant in the rear facing position up to 30 pounds, and a child up to 40 pounds in the front facing position.
• Avatar by Combi : This seat offers a unique cradle for infants and toddlers. It features a round base, which many parents claim adapt to their seat better. The seat can hold a toddler in the forward facing position up to 40 inches long and 40 pounds.
• Marathon: This front facing seat will hold even the heaviest of toddlers. It holds kids up to 65 pounds and up to 49 inches long. This is great as you can use this seat until your child is ready to ride in a car using a regular seat belt.
• Britax Toddler : This is a forward-facing only seat. It will run you a hefty $200 or more dollars. It features a five-point harness and holds children up to 80 pounds and 53 inches long. By far this seat allows even the largest children. The harness adjusts to four different positions to hold your baby as he or she grows.
• Cosco Summit Booster : This seat is designed for older children. It has many features well suited for an older child including armrests and storage areas. It even comes with a cup holder. It adjusts to accommodate children up to 100 pounds and 52 inches long as a booster seat.
• Eddie Bauer High Back Booster : At a reasonable $80 this is a fashionable multi purpose seat for old and younger children alike. The seat acts as a forward facing car seat and a booster seat, accommodating children up to 80 pounds. It offers a five point harness and seat belt compatible booster feature.
