Looking for advice from those with experience (plus from those who have done research) on the best car seat available in the USA for newborns/infants.

Thanks in advance

I was told the Graco is the safest (and lightest!).

I love the graco snugride. it also snaps right into the matching carriage I have.

I have also heard GREAT things about the britax roundabout, which can be used for newborns-toddlers. it holds from 5-40 lbs and can be used rear facing for an infant and front facing for an older child.

I did a lot of research on carseats and from all the research Ive seen the safest carseats are the Britax, they have an infant seat that snaps in and out, they also have the convertiable ones, depends what you most need it for. However the gracco infant seat is right up there on the list, it is the lightest and much more affordable. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY MY OWN CONCLUSIONS ON RESEARCH I DID MYSELF (so please no one jump down my throat)

There is a book called "Baby Bargains" It costs $19 and reviews every possible baby product on the market today. You can try the library, but you want to make sure to get the most recent version (2005). I've read most of the book and they give solid reasons for their opinions.

snugride is good cuz it's a carrier and fits in graco strollers, however, it's only good until 20 lbs/26 inches -- about 6 months. you have to decide if it's worthwhile for you. we got it, b/c it was good for a plane trip
