Rec your infant carseat

I borrowed one from my brother because ours was so old it had expired. A couple times when driving, I heard the seat click into place, despite the fact that I had carefully placed it into the base. I just don't feel safe with the seat and want to replace it.

Since we live in MA and are at the start of the winter, bonus points for a seat that has a built in blanket.

We have two. The one in my car which is the one we use the most is the peg perego primo viaggio. I like it a lot. Haven't had any issues with it.
The one in DH's truck which was given to us is A Baby Trend. I don't remember which one exactly but it's nice too.

are you sure it is not the handle clicking? For some reason my handle always makes clicking noises once I put the carseat in place.

I have the britax bsafe and love it. Light, easy, and safe.

The only thing is that I don't think it's very compatible with other brands strollers. I have a britax stroller so I don't know.

We had a BabyTrend with DS and got a new one with DD. We never had any issues with them, they have great safety ratings, and are reasonably priced. The only thing I would complain about is the way the crotch buckles, but it's not really a big deal.

I have the Chicco Keyfit 30. I love it! It is very sturdy and well made. The base too 1 minute to install in the car. I like that it easily clicks in and out. Adjusting the straps in the seat is also very simple. It is very easy for me to manage. I have one of the bundle me things by JJ Cole that fits over the seat like a shower cap and it is great. Found it on Amazon.

I have a britax bsafe and like it. My  husband hated installing the base though.

It comes with the attachments needed to click onto britax strollers, if you remove them it works with a snap and go. We had a hard time removing them and called and they sent us a new seat with them already removed and paid the postage to send them the other one, so great customer service.

I second the Chico Keyfit 30. Once we got help from the police station for the base, its pretty easy to put in. The keyfit also fits perfectly with my jeep stroller.
There was a lap cover that came with the carseat but I haven't tried it yet.

FTM and I have been using it for a month but I do not have any complaints.

I also have Chicco Keyfit 30. Like others have said, it's sturdy and easy to install. I also live in MA and had it inspected by the Lynn fire department. The chief was helpful and made sure I was comfortable with the seat and showes me how to use it. I definitely feel like I made the right choice.

I have a Graco.

 Are you sure you put the seat in place properly? I mean it should not move unless it's not in there correctly.

ETA: missing word.

This. British brands are supposedly safer because they're tested in smaller cars.
