Every baby needs to be safe and snug when it’s time to go for a ride in the car with mum and dad. And there’s no better way to make sure that happens than with this car seat from Graco, one of the leading manufacturers in baby furniture and products!

This car seat comes in a deep midnight blue so that your child will have the perfect environment for having a little sleep along the way. And it’s suitable for children from the newborn stages all the way until their first birthday! It’s rear-facing, which is the safest way to take baby on your travels during the first year and it has a 3-point security harness to keep them even more safe.

You also won’t have to worry about fiddling and fidgeting to get this seat into your vehicle, or onto a stroller because the entire chair features a one-click system. This means that one click will get the seat into the base, out of the base, and onto a stroller for when you’re going to the mall or for the time when baby’s just not quite big enough to sit upright in a stroller. And, when you place it in the car, there’s even an indicator light that will let you know the seat is in just the way it should be!

You’ll love the side-impact protection, the adjustable harness, its adjustable canopy, and the fact that it comes with a cover that is completely machine-washable! But the Junior Baby from Graco also has lots to offer your little one as well! The reinforced body insert will keep them from slipping while it keeps them in complete comfort and the fleece-lined harness protectors will also feel soft and snugly against your baby’s skin. Plus, for when your baby is just still brand new, there’s a head rest for newborns so you don’t have to worry about their small necks becoming injured due to a still-wobbly head.

Graco proves once again that they provide only the finest quality baby products that are safe and comfortable while still being loaded with features!

The Discoverer Child Carrier from LittleLife is a new design for 2009 and it comes with many features that claim to make it one of the best baby carriers of 2009. The carrier has a grey and green exterior that’s constructed from a lightweight fabric that’s easy to wipe clean and is also very durable. The inside is ergonomically shaped to fit to your child’s back and make the ride much more comfortable and there’s also a small bib that your child can rest their head on for nap time or you can wipe small spills up with after lunch time! 

The parent’s hip belt turns and twists so it moves when you do and eliminates much of the digging sensation that sometimes occurs with other carriers when you’re moving around. There’s also a toy loop where you can attach small toys and it has top handles that are padded so you can grab it easily when you’re on the move. Perhaps the best feature of this baby carrier however is the fact that it has a kick-out stand so that you should be able to set baby down for a moment. It’s important to note however that LittleLife suggests a foot is kept on the kickstand at all times for safety reasons which might render the kickstand completely useless. There are also no pockets or zippers where you can stash things so you’ll need another bag for storage! 

The Discoverer Child Carrier is a great carrier for when you have a short jaunt but with no storage it won’t be enough for longer trips and you also may not even want to consider the kickstand when thinking about buying it since you’ll need to keep one foot on it at all times anyway. That being said, the LittleLife Discoverer Child Carrier is a great carrier that comes at a great price and it comes from LittleLife so you know you’ll be buying quality!

The Cybex 2.Go baby carrier is the same great baby carrier that Cybex introduced onto the market with the 1.Go baby carrier but it has so many new features and bonuses that it definitely puts its predecessor to shame!

Probably the best thing about the 2.Go baby carrier is the number of different positions that your child can comfortably sit in while you are on the go. From 3 months and on your child can sit in the front, either on the hip naturally or facing inwards, which is especially great when it’s baby’s nap time! After 6 months, you have many more options with baby’s position including inward front-facing, the mobility seating position, or sitting in the back. It’s important to note that this baby carrier cannot be used before 3 months of age so you’ll have to invest in a smaller carrier until that time or simply snuggle your baby during the first few weeks! But if you need even more options, this carrier also has 3 different length adjustments that will further tailor it to your baby’s specific needs!

And in addition to the many different ways that you can carry your baby, they’ll also be much more comfortable with a cushioned seat that has not only been approved by orthopedics but also conforms to your baby’s form, keeping them safe and in extra-cushy comfort! There’s also a head rest so that baby’s neck will always be supported should they fall asleep and for after a particularly messy nap or snack time, the whole thing can be thrown in the washing machine!

The Cybex 2.Go baby carrier is definitely a vast improvement on the already fine 1.Go baby carrier but it’s important to know that there is no real storage or pockets of any kind with this carrier so you will need to bring another bag to carry all of baby’s stuff!

The i.Go baby carrier from Cybex is truly something so innovative that there’s been nothing like it to ever hit the market. This baby carrier uses a horizontal position for your baby so they can lie naturally and have their spines in proper alignment and without putting too much weight on them, especially at a time when they are so young and still developing. The company also claims that this is the preferred mode of carrying infants by orthopedists. Later on when the baby grows, the position can be changed so baby will be sitting in the more traditional, vertical position. 

The baby can lay in the carrier on the very first day they are born and can remain in the horizontal position until they are approximately 4 months old, or 6 kilograms. After baby is 4 months of age they can then sit in the vertical position facing in, and starting at 6 months baby will also have the option of sitting in the vertical, facing out position and the carrier can be used until the baby is approximately 15 kilograms, which is when they’ll be a toddler! 

The cover of the carrier can be thrown into the washing machine and it comes in many colours including slate (black); sand (brown); indigo (blue); and chile (red.)

Of course it has all the features that LittleLife always provides including an ergonomically shaped seat so that your baby will always ride in comfort and with no risk to their spine or back. For those times when things get messy with a drooling, sleeping baby, or just at snack time, there’s 2 face bibs included that are removable and washable for easy cleanup. There’s also a large front pocket that will hold all of your odds and ends while traveling and top handles that make it even easier to just pick up and go. It’s also been designed with an anchor-point system so you’ll never have to stabilize the pack while loading baby in or out and it even has loops for toys and stirrups! All of this for only £89.99 and it may just be one of the best priced carriers on the market as well. We found this one at SimplyHike.

Unlike all of the padding that is usually thrown onto child carriers to make it ‘more comfortable’ and often actually just becomes worn and hot, the Traveller Child Carrier is actually built with a shorter design, making it more compact and easier to tote around while keeping it a lighter weight as well! The hip belt and chest straps are still padded for your own comfort while the back system, which is part of the anatomically-constructed seat, is also padded so baby stays comfortable too.

The grab handles at the top make it easy to pick it up and go and the trim, which is done in reflective piping, will make it safer as you’ll be more visible to others. The LittleLife Traveller Child Carrier does only have one pocket, and that is the mesh pocket on the front, and it is only available in this grey colour. It’s available for £89.99.

They have done exactly that with the Synergy Carrier, which has all kinds of features including a zip-out option, so parents just have to unzip the front panel and baby lifts easily out eliminating the need to wake them when they’re sleeping, and there’s a buckle that slides so that the carrier can be easily adjusted as the baby grows. However, this buckle along with some others found on the carrier, are sometimes difficult to maneuver on one’s own so you may need an extra hand around!

Always the health-conscious, Baby Bjorn has also ensured that the leg and arm holes for baby are positioned just right so that baby is not only more comfortable but is also making sure that they are safe and secure while in the carrier. The carrier is also made from a mesh, breathable material so that neither you or the baby will become overheated during your trek.

The carrier can be worn inward or outward facing and it even has a special position so that moms can breastfeed discreetly! The Synergy is equipped to hold babies from 8 to 26 pounds, which means that you can place babies in it for approximately their entire first year and that’s a good thing, considering that this product is usually at the higher end of the price range.

The price difference is remarkable however between the two products, with the Deuter Kid Comfort II costing a pricely £120 while the Comfort I only costs £89.99! The added feature of side loading may not be worth the additional £30 for those who just want the basic features, and it also should to be taken into consideration that the Comfort II does not come with the sun and rain cover.

The Deuter Kid Comfort I is available in fire (red), or ash (black and grey.)

The Kelty F.C. 1.0 baby carrier even comes in three vibrant colors from Blueberry, Apple Green, and Tangerine but you may want to choose the darker color of Blueberry if you foresee baby making big messes while sitting in it as the carrier cannot be thrown in the washing machine! If you don’t mind spot cleaning every now and again though, this is definitely one of the most convenient and practical carriers there is today!
