Evenflo Revolve Extend (Updated)
If you are looking for a swivel car seat, the Evenflo Revolve Extend may be right for you! This seat offers a decent newborn fit, so it could be used from birth if you want to skip the infant car seat stage. It has a tall harness height, so it’s a long-lasting option for rear and forward-facing. And it offers high-back booster mode as well! This seat can swivel in all three modes of use, making it a useful accessibility tool for caregivers or children with disabilities.

Graco Turn2Me (Updated)
If you have been looking at all of the car seats with a rotation feature and were wondering if there was one available that is compact, the Graco Turn2Me may be the seat you are looking for. If you desire a swivel seat that is compact front-to-back but also fits newborns, we would recommend looking at the Nuna Revv instead. We’ll explain further down in this post why we don’t recommend using the Graco Turn2Me from birth. However, if your child is at least 6 months old, this option may work for you.

Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 (Updated)
The original Graco Extend2Fit (review) convertible car seat was one of the first with a 50-pound rear-facing limit! This updated version is even better than the original! It’s still one of the best convertible car seats for small cars, making it a great option for tall front-seat passengers, compact vehicles, or any situation with limited front-to-back space! The Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 has an easier-to-tighten harness and a high-back booster mode. It also doesn’t have the under 40-pound forward-facing recline issue that the original Extend2Fit does.

Evenflo Shyft DualRide (Updated)
The Evenflo Shyft DualRide is a unique car seat that also functions as a stroller. As of today, the DualRide and the Doona are the only two infant seats on the market that have this feature — all other infant car seats have to be clicked into a separate compatible stroller. If you want to compare Doona versus DualRide, watch this. Here’s the Doona review.
The DualRide has the unique ability to detach the stroller wheelbase from the carrier, leaving you with a standard infant carrier! This car seat was designed to make traveling with a baby easier and more convenient, eliminating the need to carry around a separate stroller — but with the option to skip the stroller wheels, this car seat can truly transform into the most convenient solution for any situation. It’s an excellent option for busy parents who love the idea of a stroller and car seat in one.

If you are looking for a forward-facing-only seat, this will likely be a good contender for you!

It’s a great option for tall kids, and it’s fairly narrow as well, so it will work in some 3-across situations as well.

The Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX car seat is one of the lighter infant seats on the market at only 7 pounds. It’s also one of the most affordable options for families who are on a tight budget or who do not want to spend a lot on an infant seat, especially with it having stroller compatibility with Graco stroller frames too. It’s also quite compact front to back, so it’s a great option for many families.

Check out our Britax One4Life Car Seat review below to see if it is the right seat for your child!

Clek Foonf - Canada
The Clek Foonf, introduced in 2012, has become a trusted choice for parents in the US and Canada. It’s one of the narrowest car seats on the market today and it stands out as the only harness seat in both countries that features rigid lower anchors for forward-facing installation. This unique characteristic is an energy management feature that reduces the crash forces that go to the child. It also boasts advanced safety features for rear-facing mode, such as an anti-rebound bar that minimizes seat movement during crashes. With its longevity in the market and commitment to safety, the Clek Foonf continues to be a go-to car seat for parents seeking reliability, versatility, and the capability to accommodate multiple car seats side by side.

Graco 4Ever DLX Grad
In the past, we have made it known that the 4Ever seats are not SITS favorites due to the bulky backless booster mode. But now, with their 4Ever DLX Grad, Graco has added a 5th mode, with a seat belt trainer that’s very similar to the Graco Right Guide. This is a very low-profile backless booster that we really like. This version also features SnugLock, which makes the installation in the rear and forward-facing harness modes very simple.

The Clek Liingo is a great choice for parents who primarily travel via ride-share services. This seat does not come with a car seat base, so you don't have to worry about storing or getting rid of a piece you don't need. This also makes the seat a lot more affordable for parents on a budget. The Liingo has lower anchors attached via a storage compartment. This compartment can be removed in order to make the seat a little lighter if you prefer a seat belt installation. The Clek Liingo is compatible with many of the most popular stroller brands as well, with adapters, so it's easy to customize your perfect travel system.

Peg Perego Viaggio Flex - Canada
In this review, we’ll take a close look at why the Peg Perego Viaggio Flex booster may be a good option for your booster-aged child. This booster can be an excellent option if you need to fit 3 kids across the back of your vehicle. It’s also a nice option for parents who travel often since it folds up.

Britax Willow SC - Canada

RideSafer Travel Vest
The Ride Safer Travel Vest is a wearable booster seat alternative for children. It works by bringing the seatbelt down to your child’s level rather than boosting them up. While we suggest its use for children aged 5 and above, the manufacturer approves it for those as young as 2. Offered in four sizes, the vest accommodates a variety of age groups/child sizes. It’s a great option for tight 3 across configurations since it only takes up as much space as the child does. But it’s not as easy to use as a traditional car seat.

The combination of a load leg, ease of installation, and moderate pricing makes it a viable option for a wide range of families.
