Infant car seat recommendations

A friend asked for a list of car seats for her new baby.

What are other techs/car seat gurus recommending lately for people who ask? I've really slacked off and don't know the good/bad points of the newer seats at all. Could someone give me some great advice? Please?

TIA!!

The Carseatblog recommended seat list is a great place to start. There are links the the reviews for each one there too.

The keyfit and the graco snugrides seem to be the most common/popular seats. I would stick with a classic connect vs click connect for the graco, and get the one with the lockoffs (35?) if she doesn't have or use latch.

Good point. I don't know if she has latch or what vehicles they drive. They are my dd's neighbors/friends. What other seats have a lock off?

My personal knowledge is the britax b safe, chicco key fit and graco 35 lx... Not sure if there are more.

I have a Pipa and while I love it, it's pricy and not for the average parent.

I most often recommend the Keyfit30 when I have no other details. I find it to be the most user friendly.

The key fit has a deeper seat than the graco. I have the keyfit but think the graco maybe would have been better because it's more reclined and less "c" shaped.

The Onboard air 35 has lock offs as well, and it has the nice push on latch connectors as well if she does want to use latch.

The chicco seems to be really popular on here but I had some concerns about the maximum 30 height verses the maximum 32 inch height of many others like the graco or britax because they will out grow it sooner.
