I'm looking for a site that tells me the ratings of car seats.

You should find some links to sources with recommendations and ratings. If you do find ratings, be careful you understand what they mean. If they are not accompanied by a risk of injury or if the testing was not done in a vehicle identical to yours with a child similar in height and weight to yours, then the ratings may not be valid. Personally, I have not seen a good carseat rating system.

The NHTSA is also working on a rating system for child restraints, but it will be some time before it is available to the public.
