Best Rear Facing Car Seat for Infants and Toddlers in 2025

[dhoni4455]

I researched about best rear facing car seats for the past few days because I need one that’s safe and comfortable for my baby. I read reviews on Consumer Reports, BabyGearLab, and a few parenting blogs, and they are highlighting a couple of models as the best choices.

Graco SnugRide Lite LX Infant Car Seat


Chicco KeyFit Max Infant Car Seat Base



However, I am having trouble deciding which one would actually be the best fit for my needs and would love your expert advice. I am mainly looking for something that is:

Very safe in crash tests

Comfortable for both infants and toddlers

Easy to install and adjust

Not too bulky for a smaller car

Parents who already use a rear facing car seat, could you share your recommendations? Which one do you think is truly the best option for 2025?

Any experiences or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

My wife swears by Axkid.

We've had multiple versions of them and the kids have been fine in them.

Apparently they are the best performing in the scandanavian testing and they are far more rigorous tests than the UK has.
