1. Best Cheap Car Seats
Graco ComfortSport
Often compared to car seats that cost twice as much, the Graco ComfortSport features a
removable seat pad for easy cleaning, three shoulder height positions, removable infant
head support, and patented level indicator for rear-facing installation; although many
reviewers say the straps can be difficult to adjust and some find the seat too small for
larger toddlers, parents seem willing to overlook these minor flaws for the comfort of the
energy-absorbing foam liner.

Don't Bother Cheap Convertible Car Seat
Cosco Scenera with Versa-Fit Overhead Barrier
One of the few convertible car seats still available that uses an overhead barrier and
three-point harness system, its roomy and cushy seat doesn't make up for the safety
concerns about the absence of hip straps; users say the overhead bar is less reliable and is
awkward when moving a child in or out of the seat.
