Frequently Asked Questions
Are budget car seats as safe as expensive ones?
Yes, all car seats sold in the US must meet identical federal safety standards. The main differences in budget seats are typically in convenience features, materials quality, and additional testing beyond minimum requirements.
How long do budget car seats typically last?
Most car seats expire 6-10 years from manufacture date due to material degradation and safety standard updates. Check the expiration date on any seat, as budget and premium seats have similar lifespans.
What's the difference between infant and convertible budget seats?
Infant seats are rear-facing only and often include a carrier base for easy transport, while convertible seats can transition from rear-facing to forward-facing as children grow. Convertible seats typically offer longer usability.
Can I find quality budget seats from reputable manufacturers?
Yes, many established car seat manufacturers offer budget-friendly models that meet safety standards. Focus on safety certifications and proper fit rather than brand name when comparing options.
