If you’re thinking of planning a family someday or will soon be expecting an addition to your family, then you may want to take a look at some of your options regarding car seats for your little one. According to Edmunds.com, there are certain key things to look for when you are on the hunt for a car seat. Some of these things include the following:

• Deep, Flat Seat-bottom cushions. Because of how the seat is positioned and shaped, it will be easier to have the car seat sit level in your vehicle, making it easier to secure to the seat.
• Placement of seatbelts. The placement and angle of the seatbelt hitch and receiver can greatly affect a parent’s ability to get a car seat cinched down to the seat. Always check to make sure thatthe location of the anchor points allow for a snug fit in your vehicle.
• The angle of the seat back cushion. Many minivans and sport utility vehicles have a recline feature for the second-row back cushions, allowing you to adjust the seat to a position that is secure and comfortable for your child. If you’re going to buy a car that doesn’t offer this feature, check to see if the angle of the seat back is compatible with your car seat.
• Ease of access. The wider your car door opening, the easier it will be to maneuver when trying to install a car seat. The few extra inches offered by sport utility vehicles and minivans can give parents’ backs a break when repeatedly bending over to buckle their child in the car.
• Availability of automatic locking retractor (ALR) seatbelts. Most newer cars have automatic locking retractor seatbelts in the backseat, such that when you pull the belt all the way out, it locks as it retracts. This may offer parents a much tighter, safer fit for car seats. [source]
