Your toddler has outgrown the Doona and you don't know what's next? The Onlook is our favorite affordable option for toddler travel.

This car seat offers 2 modes of use to support both infants and toddlers. In rear-facing position, it is latch-equipped for infants up to 40 lbs. You can easily change it to a forward-facing position when your little one enters toddler territory (up to 40 lbs and 43 in). The car seat is lightweight and easy to clip on to a stroller, making it simple to transport from one vehicle to another or while flying.

The seat pad is machine-washable and dryer-safe so cleaning and upkeep is a breeze!

We would have never guessed how life-changing a rotating car seat would be… but take our word for it and try Evenflo’s Revolve seat! If you have a smaller car or SUV, this car seat is 10x easier to manage than a standard seat. The 360° rotation makes it super easy to get your toddler in and out of the car with just one hand. It's worth every penny, and the grandparents will love it too.

It allows for extended rear-facing positioning all the way up to 50 lbs, which is longer than most car seats.

The Britax is machine washable, will grow with your child, and the straps won’t get twisted. If you have a spacious vehicle, this is a great choice and will take your child from birth through age ten.

It has 4 configurations, including rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster seat. It comes in a wide variety of colors and supports a 15-position headrest and 9-position recline, which are necessary as your child grows.

If you're in an urban environment, a mom on-the-go, a mom with a toddler and a baby, or a mom who loves to travel, the Doona is for you.

We’re certain you've seen this car seat everywhere—and for good reason. The Doona does it all! It's perfect for errands, flights, taxis, and bus trips. It’s also great for families with two cars as it doesn’t require a base. The Doona comes fully assembled straight out of the box and can go from car seat to stroller mode with the click of a button. It’s designed with newborn ergonomic support in mind, providing optimal safety and comfort for your baby.

A fan favorite for so many reasons, Nuna's PIPA is unbelievably light and comes with a built-in shade protector so you don't need extra blankets, swaddles, and covers. At just 7.6 lbs, the lightweight aspect is nothing to sneeze at—carrying your baby in a car seat is not for the weak! We also heard the PIPA AIRE rx is coming out in Spring 2024, which will be even lighter.

This car seat has adapters that make it compatible for all of the mainstream strollers. It has a 4-position recline and is suitable for kids up to 32 lbs, or until approximately 18 months of age.
