Hello Everyone,
It looks like this question hasn't been asked recently, so I'm hoping to get some up-to-date recommendations on specific car seat models.
I do not own a car and plan to mainly walk or take the subway with my baby.
I expect to use taxis infrequently but would want a seat that is easy to install without the base (using a seat belt?) for those occasions.
For traveling outside of the city, we would likely to rent a compact car, so I'm looking for a seat that could fit in a wide range of cars.
Since we will be using cars so infrequently (I'm estimating less than a dozen times a year), I'm not concerned with stroller/travel system compatibility.
I've heard that infant seats are the safest choice for young babies, but if there are convertible car seats you feel are viable options for infants, I would be interesting in hearing those recommendations.
Finally, I'm hoping to purchase a seat that is on the less toxic spectrum. However, I'm willing to compromise on this point since we'll use the seat so infrequently. Ease of installation and ability to work in a compact car are our main priorities.
Thanks for your help!
